you ever tested that law? the way the "no fault" thing works is whoever is in the rear, or has front end damage is at fault regardless. from personal experience.

Biker is definitely at fault. Following too closely.

i'm testing it right now. some lady cut across three lanes of traffic and i hit her on the left side of her car with the front of my bike and guess what...IT WAS HER FAULT

. she got the ticket and my lawyer says this is a no brainer...i win, even though i technically made contact with her with the front of my bike into the back of her car

Good luck to the both of you. Dealing with the insurance end of it prior, I know the Florida laws sure as hell don't make it easy for anyone.

shit clicked cage... but it was the biker... the cage driver is a dick and needs his ass whooped... but the biker was at fault. I saw that brake check coming as soon as he pulled behind him.

Biker, shouldn't have been that close.

shmike · 01-07-2009, 10:12 AM

The biker was at fault for the accident. No doubt.

However, the cager left the scene of an accident. BIG nono.

I clicked cage but becuase I'm choosing to say the cager was at fault for the GENERAL incident and not the specific accident.

It's hard to tell because we didn't see what happened before the pushing incident at the beginning. I know if someone were pushing me there's no way in hell that I wouldn't be calling the cops and getting that situation under control instead of just getting back on and riding away. Thought the biker did a good job of staying calm.

But then....he get stupid. At first I thought the cage was just going to ram him from behind. If I were the biker I'd be getting as far away from that car as possible. He was following WAY too closely, in the wrong lane position, and a whole host of other things. But I think he was doing that thing (and we've all done this at some point) where you're mad so you follow the person and give them THE GLARE just to show them how mad you are (or however that scenario plays out for you).

BOTH at fault for a lot of things!

They were both at fault but the biker was the dumber of the two dumb fucks. Why would you want to tailgate a car? I would have pulled up next to the Eclipse faggot, punch out his rearview mirror and hauled ass.
