20 not a tad fast for overtaking stationary traffic? I'm usually in the 10-15 region. Probably wouldn't have made much difference, sounds like got taken clean out, but would have hurt less. Long queues of stationary traffic = frustrated car drivers, and all you need is the one plonker who's in a rush and decides to do a U turn to take some other route - peeved off, frustrated and wanna get somewhere quick, not gonna think, 'oh leme check my blindspot, they're might be a motorbike'. |

That's broke that is.
He said he was doing 20, and if the throttle were open for any amount of time in a low gear he may have accelerated an important amount, but the really important factor is how fast, and in exactly what direction whatever he hit was travelling.
