If you have been in an overtaking motorcycle accident, we highly advise that you contact one of our experienced solicitors at Solicitors On Your Side Scotland. Our solicitors have years of knowledge and experience to help you get the highest possible compensation for your case. It is the other driver’s responsibility to ensure that they leave enough space for motorcycles when overtaking. Motorcyclists are more likely to swerve onto the middle of the road due to weather and road conditions; it is the driver’s responsibility to ensure to leave them the same amount of space as they would for a regular vehicle.
There is a range of overtaking accidents that a motorcyclist can be involved in. The most common ones include:
Motorcycle accidents can happen to either motorcyclist who are overtaking or motorcyclists that are overtaking. Either way, you may be eligible to claim compensation. If you have been in a road traffic accident as a motorcyclist during overtaking; we highly advise that you contact one of our experienced solicitors at Solicitors On Your Side Scotland now.
The highway code states that you should only overtake when it is safe to do so. If the motor user fails to overtake safely, they can cause accidents.
Highway Code Rule 162 – before overtaking you should make sure:
Highway Code Rules 163 – Overtake only when it is safe and legal to do so
The Highway Code clearly outlines rules to protect more vulnerable road users. If the less vulnerable driver fails to follow highway code rules, they can cause an accident with the more vulnerable road users. More vulnerable road users are more likely to face severe damages after a road accident, due to the lack of protection they have compared to a car or van driver.
