car/motorbike accident

For what it's worth, saying you couldn't brake would probably show lake of care or attention. Saying you weren't able to stop in time would more likely suggest that you were pulled out on. Given the impact was to the rear of the car that pulled out on you it would have been visible for a few seconds if you see what I mean. Insurance companies don't like paying out so don't give them any ammunition to use against you.

I've not been riding that many years but its true what they teach , everybody is out to get you!

op's been perfectly clear imo. No idea why you think there would only be traffic to the cars right. Traffic is generally slow moving/stationary because there is something in front of them impeding their journey.

Op was on left side of road through, there was heavy traffic in the oncoming lane to their right. To the right of that oncoming traffic, there was a car waiting to turn right (to go into same lane in same direction op was going). Car waiting to emerge has probably either been flashed by one of the cars in the oncoming traffic and assumed it was safe so pulled out without properly checking or they've spotted a gap in the traffic coming from their right and were fed up waiting so haven't properly checked before pulling out in front of op.

As others have said though, if the car driver is alleging they saw op - especially long enough for them to accurately judge that they were driving in excess of the speed limit, they're also admitting that either :
1) they made the decision to pull out in front of him after assessing his speed and deeming it to be too fast
2) they didn't assess his speed at all before pulling out and by the time they realised, it was too late.

Either of those would be dangerous and would fall below the standard of a reasonably competent driver. In addition, they both go some way to showing that the other drivers judgement is lacking and therefore his judgement of what speed op was doing cannot be relied upon.

yes this is perfectly correct thank you. I don't understand why they don't get it. Thanks a lot for understanding.

And to the person who said about the poor english. I left school when i was 12 so i didn't get any gcse's but mock me all you want i don't care.
