Will Brexit affect bikers?
26 May 2016
What happens to bikers if we leave the European Union? Over the years, the EU has been involved with – or blamed for – legislation connected to everything from border controls and import duties to the riding test and horsepower limits. What will happen if we vote to say in or stay out?
An ordeal over a wheel
19 May 2016
I was hit from behind with quite a clunk, which tipped me off my Triumph Tiger 800. Luckily I received only bumps and bruises, but because I hit my head on the kerb I want to claim for my helmet as well as the damage to my bike.
Don’t let the Red Mist get you
12 May 2016
One of the fairly common accident scenarios I get is when riders overtake drivers who do something peculiar when the rider is alongside.
Right turn, wrong turn
05 May 2016
I was waiting to turn right into a pub car park with my wife as a pillion when a rider came flying down the outside of the traffic, heading straight towards me.
He’s Behind You!
28 Apr 2016
Screwed from behind? And then the insurance company follows suit? What should you do next?
Not Fit For Duty
07 Apr 2016
If you can’t continue life in the Army because your arm hurts, make sure the guilty party coughs up…
Dark visors and legal grey areas
31 Mar 2016
Shoei and Bell,among other visor and helmet manufacturers have brought out ‘photochromatic’ or ‘reactolite’ visors, which darken in direct sunlight. I think this is a brilliant idea but, like conventional dark visors, is illegal if the visor tints to any appreciable degree in the sun.

Slippery when wet… with diesel
10 Mar 2016
Spilt diesel is less of a problem for motorcyclists than it once was but the folklore of slippery roads still holds true.
What to do if you have a road accident in France
03 Mar 2016
If you’re planning on riding in Europe this year, chances are you’ll be heading through France at some point – but how can you best protect yourself, legally speaking, if you have a road accident while riding through the country?
The camera never lies
11 Feb 2016
Like a lot of riders I have a bike-mounted camera, but can these cameras bite your backside if things go wrong?
Get reflective
04 Feb 2016
Reflective clothing and strips help in low-light circumstances. Twice I’ve acted for people that probably would have died had they not had reflectives on.
Know your enemy
28 Jan 2016
Try to predict driver behaviour at junctions. You can actually be exuberant in filtering through London’s West End and the City because drivers expect bikes to be there and will look in their mirrors (they know that if they don’t they’ll probably get one torn off).
Don’t surprise people
21 Jan 2016
If you’re in an area where you’re likely to come into conflict with other road users then move at a speed that is not significantly greater than the flow of traffic. The last thing you want is to surprise people.
Twinkle like a fairy
14 Jan 2016
Fairy lights that modulate at 300-400 flashes per second will be perceived as twinkling. That’s important because the movement draws the eye, increasing your visibility, but it won’t look like it’s flashing.
