Motorbike Swerve Test
Hutcheon Solicitors have received instructions to consider a motorbike accident claim under the new "swerve test" implemented by The Driving Standards Agency (DSA) who have been set up to reduce the number of riders and drivers killed or seriously injured in road accidents.
Paradoxically the new swerve test may increase the number of accidents and have come under fire with complaints that the test is dangerous for the inexperienced and novice rider.
The new swerve test involves learners being forced to reach 50km/h (31.2mph), then perform a swerve, on special test centre tracks to mimic avoiding things like debris on the road. However some riding instructors have concerns that if the riders brake and swerve at the same time they are likely to come off, particularly in wet conditions.
The BBC have reported that in since the test was brought in at the end of April 2009, in the first three and a half weeks there were 15 incidents during the exam with at least one rider left with broken bones. It was reported by the Motorcycle Action Group that they advised the Government that the test was unsafe and asked for changes.
Mr Ronnie Hutcheon, Principal Solicitor in the firm of R James Hutcheon Solicitors has obtained instructions from a leaner rider who fell off his bike and was injured whilst performing the "swerve test" under examination conditions. An accident compensations claim against the DSA in being considered for injury and loss of earnings as their client has been unable to return to work since the accident.
Mr Ronnie Hutcheon said "Anyone who has sustained injury or have had an accident during the new "swerve test" is welcome to contact us for free legal advice. Also all information supplied will help in any case and will be in the strictest of confidence.
