Totally agree with that, far too close to make a safe overtake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowlycatchymonkey Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 True true but also technically the car driver should have looked in his mirrors and checked his blind spot before the manoeuvre. Then again what my pops oft said to us about the roads when we were growing up - "its not who's right, it's who's left." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 You're responsible for your own safety when overtaking like that, not too close but the motorcyclist started closing back in without due attention. If you're riding a way faster vehicle than the one in front you assume the one in front doesn't know you're in a faster one. The error is in not buying a nice boxer 1200 with torque on tap to do that overtake safely in ignorant bliss. Buy a shit bike and you're still ignorant but clearly not in bliss anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowlycatchymonkey Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 In the UK the rules is the RULES. You are responsible for any change in direction or speed. They state repeatedly mirror, signal, manoeuvre. The person that knocked them off didn't check. But yer a nice boxer would have been the biz.

I repeat, you are responsible (not to the law, to yourself as in being responsible to what you're doing) when you're passing, more so when on a bike which is easily missed on mirrors. Nobody ever felt better when in a hospital bed saying "it's not my fault" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
