I was involved in a collision on Tower Bridge Road on Tuesday 11th May with a Motorcycle - The motorbike was trying to make a right turn through a gap in the oncoming traffic and did not see me, he pulled in front of me just as I passed through a green light and my bike took the brunt of the impact and is a write-off. Fortunately I got away with bad sprains, cuts bruises and big shock, the motorcyclist apologised profusely and was constantly saying he was at fault. At the time, several passers by including a couple of cyclists stopped to offer themselves as witnesses - I was in shock and sitting on the road but the motorcyclist told the witnesses that the collision was his fault and we would not need witnesses. He told me at the time he would pay for my bike and that he was truly sorry for the causing the collision - but guess what! he has now made a claim against me via his insurers for a broken indicator light and has made up a pack of lies about how I was riding recklessly... so to cut a long story short: on the off-chance that anyone who witnesses the crash uses this forum, please can you contact me as I may need you to act as a witness in this case...thanks and sorry for the bother
