Unlucky mate, at least you didn't come off.

It could have been worse, I was 4 cars away from one this morning that could have had me right off, and in front of oncoming traffic:

Filtering as you were, along a road with double solids, but not crossing the solids to filter, I was, the road's fairly wide in places. Where its not I pull back in. Then the double solids turn to single broken lines, normal rules apply. A car 4-5 or so in front then chose to overtake (filter) the car in front, mainly because it had not pulled right up to the next car in front, it just rolled down the hill out of gear slowly (there were another 15-20 cars before the roundabout causing the queue, so there was no hurry really, this was just impatience).

Had I been there (in front) instead of further back I'd have been easily sideswiped (she didn't check, I saw that much), knocked off to the righthand side with the bike on top of me, and traffic coming at me round a corner at about 30mph.

From what you say it sounds like it wasn't your fault, but I wasn't there.

Good luck getting it sorted, its a right pain the ****



My instructor always taught me to imagine that all car drivers are out to kill you. Think like that and you won't go far wrong.
