I think a lot of people in his position might have done exactly the same thing - swerve to avoid rather than slam the brakes on. Pretty sure I would have, but then I have a front brake on my track bike so would hope to have avoided lack thereof being my legal undoing.

Also I'm shit at skids so with no front brake I would have been about as quick to stop as that copper on the stopping test.

I've not seen the video of the accident. Not sure if it's available? So can't comment beyond the simple fact he should have had a brake.

I never want to end up in court though as it seems somewhat of a lottery.

Yep - if he'd had a brake (even if unused) I think he'd be in a different position right now. Sadly, I'm not 100% convinced she would be but I guess that's the contentious issue here.
