My question is who was in the wrong? there was an off duty copper that was a few cars back who got out to help, he happened to be a biker too. He said that it was 50-50, which i agree with, I was overtaking and didn't notice her and she didn't look properly.

does any one know of any rules regarding this kind of situation, I could do with out involving the insurance company as I'm only 22 and have only just built up 1 years ncb, if it falls down on be its going to cost me fortunes!!
