I think what resonates with me here is that someone let her out.This really really really irritates me on the roads that instead of just abiding by the rules and letting the traffic flow that everyone is blocking their own lane or even contributing to crashes because they're letting someone out.....it is courtesy gone wrong.Ive had folk stop on a roundabout in front of me to let someone out......its a foccin roundabout!!!& when people are let out the tendency is to rush so as not to inconvenience mr goody two shoes that is flashing you out, then what happens......too much rushing, too much trusting, not enough looking.Lorries flashing each other in on the motorways.......does my tits in too.....if you need flashed in mate then you dont deserve your HGV licence, never mind vans and cars doing it too.......has this died a death yet?

NoggyYou've hit the nail on the head here matey, these do gooders at times put peoples live at serious risk, the road layouts dont help at times either. Especially them little islands as you approach or leave smaller round abouts or traffic lights, some think there crossings and stop to allow perdestrans to cross. I saw the aftermaft of one a while back, the woman who stopped got a very large HGV up her arse which pushed her into the poor sod she'd stopped for 2 other cars hit the HGV at least 3 people hurt and 4 vehicals damaged it's madness The standard of some peoples driving is shocking, anyone live in an area with a lot of our Middle Eastern or Indian friends, roads signs or lanes dont exist, red light means 2 more can get through, left indicator means turn right. But never mind we have speed cameras to sort it all out.... it's a joke a bloody deadly one
The way insurance companies work, a cracked fairing would probably make it a total loss. They look at the price of the parts (brand new, dealers list price) the cost of the labour to fit it and any paintwork that might be needed. You can soon rack up a huge bill working it out like that when they compare it with the trade value of the bike. Get a list of the damage from the dealers that assessed it and then tell the insurers you want to buy the salvage. They will pay you the value of the bike, or something close, less a couple of hundred at most which will be what they value the remains at. You then hunt around eBay and ask on here to get the bits that need replacing, buy them secondhand, fit them and with what's left over pay for your trip to Scotland.
But what about any future insurance as it is now classed as a write off
just do the math for me again please, is this right, they value at £2000, thats what you would of got, but instead they sell you the salvage for £300 so they actually give you £1700 and the bike.But what about any future insurance as it is now classed as a write off
Any one know what happens with my own insurance? Do they refund me the remaining months?
