In that case ask for your visor back (if you want it).

Sorry - didn't mean to raise your blood pressure with the earlier post. I was only trying to put the other side of the case and pointing out a possible reason for their retaining your visor. I didn't know that there isn't going to a be a Court hearing over your accident.

Feel free to climb back out of throat any time you like

It's not a matter of placing blame. There's always a cause for an accident, even if that cause was an inadvertent mistake on the part of one/other/both/all parties or "an act of god" or something. It is the reason(s) for your accident that will have been investigated.

If you'd been in an accident where a poor road surface had been a significant contributory factor you'd want it recorded somewhere, wouldn't you?

Good luck with your claim, and I hope that the recovery is going OK

Rading back a bit, it seems to have become an "andrewcharnley bashing" thread

Your damn bloody right!

Missed all this today, as i have been out on the bike with the missus, another 100 miles covered....what a great day its been pottering around

Anyhow, the whole point of thread was to try and explain what happens in relations to accidents....but people love to chew fat.....


Sincs hope you get the insurance company sorted and don't have too much of a battle on your hands. If you were fully comp then it should work it self out eventually.

good luck

No need for apologies, this is good knowledge for when it happens to us.

Sometimes the Police can be so anal, and bend the law just because they are p*ssed off, and Jabba & Fraser, say what you want but this is the TRUTH! For instance, one same rozzer will book someone else for speeding one day, and the next they will let it slide. Why would this be?

Sincs,

I believe this is called discretion, unfortunately as much as i would like i cannot deal with everything (i am only one person), i see hundreds of minor offences every day but am comitted with other stuff, there is no law bending, its just the person may have got away with it this time. lucky them. I would love to be able to deal with everything i see but at the end of the day i am only human.

I am sorry that you feel as you do, quite rightly take it out on the justice system and the laws that govern this land but please do not tar everyone with the same brush.... as i said in my previous post....good luck

Warning taken onboard.
