There was discussion on here around the subject a while ago.
Spent the evening doing a quick repair after some dozy twat turned right in front of me,no indicate no fuck all,I was filtering a load of traffic on my way home and he just made a dive for his drive when he seen a gap in the oncoming traffic.At least he had the decency to put his hands up to it and was very apologetic ,he was concerned I was ok but all I was interested in was my bike,luckily apart from a bent brake lever and scuffs here and there it was ok,I told the bloke I wasn't interested in claiming because he'd probably change his story by tomorrow but I wanted £100 to cover crash bobbins and brake pedal,(I new I'd be able to repair the pedal) he agreed and I followed him to a cash point wishing I'd said more now because he agreed pretty quick,anyway done all the jobs except for the crash bobbin,have a go at that tomorrow unless you can buy 1 in which case I'll use some of the £100.One thing while I was doing the job the bolt that holds the footrest on is a T50 torx,so if anybody's due to do any work requiring taking the rests off worth checking you've got one.

I know what you're on about, it can be a grey area but this really was cut and dried,I think the bloke was really relieved I was ok and he'd got himself out of a potential mess.
never look down on anyone unless you're helping them up.
