You're completely in the right here. The highway code says,
"AMBER means 'Stop' at the stopline. You may go on only if the AMBER appears after you have crossed the stop line or are so close to it that to pull up might cause an accident" If she rear-ended you, then it's 100% her fault. Did you get a photo? Camera phones a good thing in this kind of situation, though some people carry a disposable camera under their seat. |

Glad you're OK - make sure you claim for personal injury, however small! I got 1875 for the bike and 1100 for (very) minor injuries, which I didn't expect but helped out a lot when I got the SV.
Also, have a good think about it... time works wonders. I've thought about jacking it in a few times when I've had hits, drops or near-misses... but every time is a learning experience. Hada very bad run into work this morning, but it's taught me a few new things! |
