Speeding Question?

If he'd hit you as you were turning, you would be at fault. Turning traffic always yields. One of the things you're supposed to look for is the speed of other traffic. If you'd completed the turn he would be at fault. In both scenarios your friend would've been cited for speeding.

You were both at fault you obviously didn't take sufficient care and should bear in mind the speed of approaching vehicles.If an accident had occurred then the accident investigation unit would likely to have been able to work out speed of the motor cycle by the results of the accident but that doesn't excuse your driving.

personally you are both as bad,,,

he is at fault for 1/speeding 2/sect2 road traffic act(driving in a manner dangerous 3/sect 3 RTA(driving without reasonable consideration for other road users,

you are to blame for any accident as you pulled out into the road in front him with no regard for an approaching vehicle,,,you should be seeing and aware of any approaching vehicle,,,

how about this scenario,

at 3pm i drove straight out of my driveway and collided with a bus,,,it had never been there before at that time,,,so my answer you are both in the wrong and should take driving more seriously before either of you kill somebody,

i am sorry i didnt mean to kill/injure anyone really doesnt cut it.

my answer stands,you should drive to conditions that can reasonably be expected,,,expect every driver on the road to be a complete idiot and you wont go far wrong,,most couldnt drive a nail into a piece of wood,,,,but yes they all think they are good drivers

Without witnesses to prove that he was speeding, or unless detectives were able to deduce the speed that he was going from the damage to your car, you more than likely would have been found guilty of failure to yield.

A similar experience happened to me. In my case, it was a police officer who was speeding. I know this road very well and where a car can be on that road and still give me time to pull out. This is how I know the police officer was speeding because when I pulled out, even when I got up to the speed limit, he was still closing in on me.

If I had a lawyer, I probably would have been able to force him to bring his car video into evidence, which would have displayed his speed at the time that I pulled out, but it wasn't worth the bother for me. I just paid the fine.

This is you, By entering before such movement could be made in safety. Had there been a collision, with no movement of the vehicles after impact, there is a formula that can be used to determine the speed of the vehicle. It can be determined how fast the vehicle is going.

If you were turning right then more than likely it was your fault. I have worked in insurance for a long time, I can barely remember a time where an incident went against the person speeding in this instance as it is very difficult to prove outright.

You only made a misjudgement. Judging the speed of a bike is difficult so it is forgivable. If he was doing 110 m.p.h. and he didn't hit you, that suggests he was a very long way off as well.

Your mate belongs in prison.

Your mate should be banned from riding/driving - what an idiot xx

The di*khead riding at over 100mph!

You need to pick your mates more carefully.

it would be your mate because he would be running into the back of you. Anything 30m.p.h above the speed limit is also a ban. I.E 67mph in 30mph limit.
