Just drove down Rye Dale and saw a black Honda CBR on its side outside the Forest Hill Road end.

Knocked on the door closest and a nice man said the bike had been there a while and he saw a car knock into the bike, knock it over, and the car sped off before he could get the registration number (of the car).

I have a note of the reg no of the bike.

Any of you know anything about this bike? I'll let the local police know when I can find the right number for them...

Last Monday I was riding in the bus lane up Walworth Road towards E%C and a fiesta van driven by a contract cleaner who barely spoke a word of English who was coming towards me from E&C turned right into a side road on my left, straight infront of me right across my path. My BEAUTIFUL CBR600 F has since been written off as I hit his near side front wheel and flew over the bonnet landing 10m away leaving her on the other side of the bonnet.


PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be careful out there guys. It is not us riding recklessly. It was wet and there was drizzle and I was conciously riding defensively.


At least I was able to walk away.

    • But there's an obvious policy tension here between the police model and the civil model. The police model theoretically acts as a deterrent but, as on Lordship Lane (and many other A-roads where most collisions happen) there is limited enforcement coverage. With the civil model there is the potential for wider enforcement coverage but the penalties are weaker (some may think of speeding as a 'cost of doing business') and funding it is expensive. There's a real risk of patchwork enforcement within a local authority and between local authorities. As I understand it, this is why the Assembly has been cautious in taking it further.

    • Police are responsible for speed cameras, often these only go up after a serious incident or two. If speeding was decriminalised and went to local authorities to enforce then our roads would be safer as there would be far less speeding.   https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/enforcement-20mph-zones-local-roads
    • Never understood why there are not more speed cameras on Lordship Lane and the surrounding area - not sure what happened here exactly, but given the damage to the front of the vehicle as a result of the impact of the traffic light, it seems very unlikely that this person was driving slowly.
