definately looked a painful one.
little bit of observation may have helped (queue of stationary traffic + buildings on the other side = potential of access to the road THROUGH the traffic)
....Biker -1
HOWEVER, the car pulled out when unsafe to do so - I blame the car driver.
....Car -1
Car left the scene of the accident (I thought that this was an offence)
....Car -1
Reaction was to grab a handful of brake - causing bike to stop radically. did he need to brake so hard - if I remember the biker grabs a handful only when the car was almost fully pulled out yet he could have braked earlier when he spotted the nose of the car.
all this is easy to comment on from a big comfy chair - not sure if it would be any different if we were in the same scenario.
