It's ok to filter on cross hatchings with a broken line edging them. I got knocked off some years ago in similar circumstances, and the fact that I filtered on the cross hatchings wasn't an issue. I think my main argument was that the driver clearly didn't look (or signal in my case) before the manoeuvre. Once you're alongside, you're not going to see a signal anyway.
The biggest problem is that filtering seems to be a bit of a grey area. The motorcyclist usually has to assume some responsibility (I was told 50/50, but managed to get it to 70/30 in my favour - his "witness" got cold feet when I proved that he couldn't have seen clearly from where he said he saw it; he came forward later anyway, so was discredited). Hope your witnesses stay reliable, and you should be ok.
Sorry to hear of this Paul, I know you were proud of that bike (even though it was red - oh, so's mine! :rolleyes :lol ). Bash things straight and crack on :lol Glad to hear you're ok...how are things this morning? Not too sore I hope.
