Forum Rider Down and/or notification of minor incidents

That whole road was a traffic jam this morning! Saw a few near-misses of this type as drivers got frustrated and performed 'interesting' maneuvers.

I went to the police station at lunch. They said there is nothing they can do as I wasn't hurt. The damage to the bike is not their problem and only an insurer can help.

Is filtering on the outside illegal? If she drives into the side of me, is she to blame?
