Hello, If one suffers damage to ones bike from a pothole and the highway authority are liable, then I would like to know by how much a successful claim will be reduced if the claimant was already aware of the pothole which caused the damage to their bike. Does anyone know what the guidelines are or have any links to relevant cases in England or Wales? I have searched Google and there seem to be relevant cases, Dingley v Bromley LBC (2000) and Day v Suffolk County Council (2007) but I cannot read the cases anywhere online. ...

I am about to fix a new camera system to my bike to that record front and rear, however I have a question on what legal right the police have to view the footage. If I get stopped for a routine check can they use the video to see if I have done anything illegal? If I have an accident, can they use my video to prosecute me?

Just a quick question, during the bad winds on last thursday my bike was parked at the back of my place of work but at the corner of the building, i think what happened was that the very high winds funnelled down the side of the building along the roadway and parking spaces, but couldn't go where the building was and couldn't go the other side due to hedges etc, so my bike was under so much force it was blown over.Security called me to say my bike was down, initially i thought it was hit by the mini(car) but ...

On my provisional licence it says i can ride category 'A' from 31.01.2013 (when I'm 17). Category 'AM','A1' and 'A2' (the new category's from 13.01.13) are left blank. I'm riding a moped at the moment. Does this mean I can still go straight to my big bike test (33bhp for 2 years) when I'm 17 even though i'll be taking my test after the law changes?

Yep I'm really mad and wondered if you could guide me on how best to handle this situation....I bought an F800 in early 2008, looked after it very well with full BMW services and garaging it. I took it with 3000 miles from the dealer and put about 17000 on the clock. I went to buy a new BMW bike the other week and was offered %XA34000 part exchange. The bike is in good condition and was just having the once over when I got a call from the BMW dealer saying they could not take it ...

I was side swiped by a royal mail van on the 20th this month in london. I was traveling along the a23 'london rd' for a good 50yards on the left hand side of a royal mail van. After the driver most likely reached his destination he turned left into me whilst attempting to get into someones driveway.Anyway an off duty police officer came to my aid and verified that the driver was not doing his observations/indicating before he made the move.I have sustained some injuries after hitting a wall and my yamaha yzf r125 has sustained some damages as ...

Help!? Can a Council reverse a decision it has already reversed?I recently contested a PCN issued by Weymouth Council for parking my Bike outside my flat & won!
