oops dropped it

Hi
Pulling out of my drive way today, checked left, right, then left. All clear started to move out and then heard a beep beep beep from a car hurtling towards me from the left. I looked , BRAKED, and stopped, car slowed but carried on.
Because I was about to turn right I had a lean on , and the braking caused the bike to lurch that way. I couldn't hold it and so slowly dropped the bike.
I'm ok, Bike ok, but a slight crack in the indicator front, right.
Bit peed off that I dropped it. Also a bit peed off the driver didn't stop to help me pick the bike up. Managed to do that.
One thing that I think caused me to miss the car was that the neighbour has a boat parked to the left of my drive and so it is hard to see passed it. I pulled out onto the road to see passed but still missed the car.

I'm typing this because I want comments. Do you think the driver should have stopped?
I feel there was a 50/50 fault here. he was going too fast that on my two checks left I didn't see him coming, and also I should have moved out further to check again.
Rant over!

Not suprising really, lots of people will just bugger off rather than face their error. Most people probably have no idea just how heavy a bike is either..

You did good easing the fall though!

cheers!
Just embarrassed that I dropped it!

It happens to the best of people. Don't sweat it. Minimal damage was done that's the important thing.

yep! we all dont it, me twice

You'll never prove he was speeding so it'll be down to you. So don't think you've lost out on a claim, but as you say would have been nice if he'd stopped & at least helped you up.
Must be some good crash bungs to get away so lightly!

We hear the car drivers saying sorry I didn't see you mate ... Guess you got a dose of that? In the eyes of the law its your fault as its his right of way. ****ty I know

My dropages:-

I've done it on a junction... the bike just stalled mid turn as I was banked over... Fell straight off. Jumped up was like WTF happened there (I dont think the bike had been running well for a little while for some odd reason) picked it up (I don't know what people have an issue with... I've had to pick it up 3 times...). A couple of people came from the building works opposite to help. Did no damage luckily but I had to turn ignition on and off cos FI light came on... drop sensor at a guess.

Other two times were because the side stand had got knocked back when I was wheeling it out... Damn it. I even picked it up from the wrong side (****ed off mode strength)... Go me.

I did a similar thing on a CBF500 whilst learning. I was pulling left out of a T-junction but there was parked cars which made it hard to see anything coming from the right. A guy came flying down the road, I grabbed loads of front brake (whilst steering left slightly) and over she went. I snapped the clutch lever but the instructor was ok about it all.

It's just one of these things that happens. The driver never stopped either.
