Hi guys,
The O/H was riding to work on his moped this evening down Twenty Pence Road in Cambridgeshire when he's slid and come off of the bike at around 20mph (NSL zone).
The local farmer has been ridiculous with the amount of mud he's left on the road, with road markings and "cats eyes" being completely obscured in places.
The police are in regular attendance as more and more people have accidents and so on, and have tonight enlisted the help of the Highways Agency to make the road safe again, until tomorrow .
My partner has come off of his bike twice in three days now, the first time being taken to A&E at Addenbrookes Hospital for possible head injuries and broken knee (Was just badly bruised - Was told best to check as M/C accidents can often be harmful). The bike is now in an unrideable condition along with his helmet and gear being damaged too. He doesn't wish to enlist the assistance of his TPFT insurance as he's 3 weeks from No Claims Discount, so we're both wondering what the best course of action is?
I've telephoned the Police regarding this issue and reported it, and Scott has reported his accidents and the reasons to the police. They are having words with the farmer who is presently saying "It's not my fault, I've cleaned it once*).
*Cleaned being taken a trailor full of water and dumped it on the road without any attempt to clear the road surface. The HA have been doing the job for him when people have been having accidents with a Telehandler with brushes on the end.
Can anyone please help?
Regards,
Yukiko
