Thanks 👍

Thanks for your comment. There is a 20:20 rule which states while traffic is moving at 20mph, a rider can filter at 20mph over that. So the maximum filtering speed limit is actually 40mph. I was travelling at about 30-35 mph when this guy pulled out without indicating to avoid crashing into the car infront while he was on his phone. But thanks for the input.

@@OfficialSmifi no worries, something to keep you safe if there is a big gap that the traffic can pull into always assume they will, take extra caution go slow and make your bike loud with some revs. It is even instinct as well I sometimes give them the time to pull into that gap. In your case as the traffic ahead came to a stand still I definitely would have waited and not filtered at speed because the chances of someone pulling into that lane in this circumstance is high and the traffic in your lane slowed down below 20mph they where basically at a stop so despite the guy ahead going a bit faster I would ignore his speed and focus on the lane speed so at this current point in time the 15mph rule kicks in not the 40mph

@@everythinggaming7938I know your comment is a year old but you need to get 15mph out of your head. There is NO legal filter limit, it’s a grey area of the law without set boundaries.

Thanks for the comment. I use Google Maps for each day, but I'm not great at following them to the letter. They have the basic route which takes me to most of the POIs, but I'm forever drifting off-piste and getting lost.

@@OfficialSmifi appreciate the reply. Thank you

Always nice to hear encouraging comments no matter how long it takes. Thanks.

Or the people carrier driver should not be fiddling with his/her mobile phone, paying attention to the line of stationary traffic in front and avoid swerving into the middle lane…just saying..!!

@@sugs1258 yeah yeah too much riders at the cemetery despite they were right… just saying …

I’ll sort something out for you.

@@OfficialSmifi many thanks Neil, love the videos btw.

@@iam_mono1892 Thanks buddy. I have left Google Map Route links in the description of each video.

@@OfficialSmifi awesome mate, thank you. All booked for June. Decided to smash out a full ride from Kent to Dumfries, then start from there.

The court ruled in my favour. The driver's insurance company made no attempt to communicate and didn't even appear in court. I felt that having the dashcam footage put me in a commanding position.

@@OfficialSmifi Did the insurance company pay up for bike repair or a new one?

Biker at fault filtering at illegal speed of above 15mph

Car was at 100% fault, Driver was not paying attention, you can see this by how the cars are slowing down but the drive is zoned out, Biker was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

@@everythinggaming7938 In the UK there is no legal limit on filtering speed (within reason), providing its done in a controlled and safe manner.

The car was probably looking at a mobile phone and didn’t see the cars stopping and swerved at the last minute.

For sure, a lot ! I bump into the rear of a car at 50 km/h, only a few scratches on the tank, left cylinder head and front fender, around 6000€. If the bike was well protected, I bet over 10000€. BMW price, but very good bike

My lovely RNineT was written off. It had a cracked cylinder casing, twisted forks, seat and cowl damage. Scratches to the wheels and bars too. It was about 18 months old with about 15k miles on it. The insurance company immediately gave me £9,500. After 12 months and zero communication from the driver's insurance company , the courts awarded me £4,500 for personal injury, vehicle hire and fees. I bought the Yamaha XSR900 with the money, so I could continue.

@@OfficialSmifi Wow! so the driver that caused the insurance did not pay with his insurance? Hope you're okay man I have a BMW r9t too, hate see this crap happen to riders.

@@vicorrosiv no. His insurance did pay out, but they let the courts decide the amount and they never contested it. His insurance company never communicated with mine. Standard practice when they know they’ve lost.

Glad you enjoyed it

As per this request only, I give 'Life On Motorcycle' the right to use this video only for their compilation video on TH-cam only. In return, I do expect a full credit including a TH-cam link to my Neil Smith channel. Thanks.

All good with that particular drop. Lesson learned.

That is Good News

The bike has been written off since that video.

The one thing I loved about the BMW R NineT is the exhaust note. I thought my speech was fine - which point was too difficult to understand?

Neil Smith Most of it, but it may well be my Hearing or perhaps I need better speakers

Maybe. It all sounds good to me.

Okay Neil, I will keep my Gob Shut !!
