Judge Finds In Favour Of Motorbikes

It's sadly a rare event to be able to write an article about the law being changed in favour of motorcyclists. But that's exactly what has happened, and what this article is about.

In civil law, while there are obviously rules and regulations against which cases are judged, the over-riding factor which affects the court's decision almost every time is something called case law. In effect, if a similar case has been heard before and a decision has been made then that decision is taken as law. The precedent has been set and if there are sufficient similarities then any further case will be decided the same way. Unless a judge sees reason to challenge that finding. But they'd need to have a very good reason.

Bikers Bring Traffic To A Crash Stop

Hundreds of bikers were cheered on by drivers as they brought roads to a standstill in the North West today in protest against the soaring cost of fuel.

More than 500 motorbike riders revved off in convoy from a service station outside Manchester at 8am and staged a go-slow demonstration against escalating prices at the petrol pump.

Useful Motorbike Accident Information


When an bike accident happens, the bike rider usually comes off worse.  The metal cage surrounding occupants of a motor vehicle, multi-air bags and seat belts afford greater protection.

The most common type of head injury in is a closed head injury where upon impact there is a violent movement of the head which causes the brain to move around in the skull, causing damage upon impact together with stretching and squeezing the brain tissue and blood vessels. 

Other common types of head injuries to bike riders are from shearing forces which involve a rapid acceleration and deceleration of the head (similar to whiplash injuries in a motor vehicle).  However it appears that the most common type of injury to the bike rider is to the lower limbs. In a study in the USA the most common diagnoses of all motorcycle related emergency department visits were:

- fractures (27%)
- contusions (16.3%)
- sprains and strains (13.7%)
- open wounds (12.1%)
- superficial injuries (10.7%)

On average there are about 600 bikers a year killed on our (UK) roads and 7000 serious injuries.  Head injuries are the main cause of death and serious injuries. A bike rider is 45 times more likely to be killed in a road accident than a car driver.
