Have seen these sort of accidents, but sometimes another vehicle has been the cause although no collision has taken place. More and More cars are cutting right hand bends causing oncoming traffic to take avoiding action, in a motorcyclist case this often means appexing to early and then running wide or standing the bike up on the brakes and loosing control, at which point the poorly driven 4 wheeler is long gone. There are now certain bends on my favourite bits of road that I now have to allow for this as cutting the corner is now common place, I am nearly at the point where I will turn around,catch the driver up and give him a piece of my mind. And what do I see plod doing about this sort of behaviour, Diddly Squat as thay are usually sat furher up the road with their speed gun where its a bit sraighter.
My 2 cents worth
