Thumbs down Very much WTF

I had a phone call from my insurers yesturday, following up from when some pillock bumped me off in october or november last year. I was unhurt, bike had a cracked fairing from when it fell over. That is the extent of the damage (plus a lot of anger from me)


The to55er is suing me for whiplash.

"Sorry it's taken you 7 months to report a whiplash?"

Plus he hit you, thus it's his fault, as is life.

'Nuff said.

how very very random.

How can a tiny bike give a bloke whiplash when the car hit the bike.

Can the insurance not see this is just ******** and report him to the police for insurance fraud?

He hasn't yet commited fraud (I dont think - that would only happen after a pay-out)

Its like the story of the guy that bought some expensive cigars, insured them for fire damage, smoked them then claimed.

The policy paid out, but then they got him for arson.

So may be some legal jiggery-pokery in the background as to why he hasn't yet been told to feck off.

What? How the **** can you get whiplash from hitting a bike? Even if the bike hit you he/she would be to be going 4billion mph to cause any kind of huge jolting impact.

thats right, power is how hard you hit the car, torque is how bad whiplash you give them

No witnesses, he's disputing liability

Somehow.
