Moderator Goff Posted October 6, 2008 Moderator Posted October 6, 2008 OMG!! Thats shitty! Glad yo are both ok though. Will the Espace driver vouch for the wagon being on your side of the road? Did you get his number? If so pursue this!! I hope you get your bike fixed soon.

I hope you get your bike fixed soon. espace driver says 100% on my side. but i think insurers tend to go with the general rule that if you couldnt stop in time for even the daftest of things, its your fault. see what equity red star say tomorrow. thing is, i wanna know either way so i can buy the bits myself. the wagon was a council one, and on there policys, they tend to just say sod it and not bother arguing the case, or thats my experience in the few incidents iv been involved with. if it is my fault, i think my insurance will be to high to bike for a few years, its bad enough now so heres hoping it works out.
