hiis anybody able to help or give advice? other half crashed our bike on leybridge road, been waiting for the rac for nearly 3 hours now. just rang them and they are bloody hopeless. anyway, the scooter ride who caused the accident by pulling out of a side road drove off and al breaking slid into the back of a car in front. the car driver has his details and it sounds as if hte ninja has had it. i think he should report to the police as the person who caused the accident rode off and that is ‘leaving the scene of an accident’??? and a criminal offence??? ---

Ouch hope hes ok, bikes can be fixed. Scooterist wasnt hit I assume, so he wasnt essentially involved I guess. Sounds like the ins company will say its a rear ender and thats full liability regardless of circumstance ☹ But dont take it from me theres plenty of peeps here who know more than I do… Anyway hope hes Ok and is not too bruised and battered or aching tommorrow morning. GL fingers crossed R ---

It should be reported to the police as a failure to stop. The highway code is rubbish on this as it talks about collisions, but the legal duty places the obligation on a person who by using the vehicle on the road caused another vehicle to be damaged or person/animal to be injured. So therei s no need for the scooter to be directly involved i nthe collision if it caused the accident. ---
