Added dangers for bikers in the colder weather

There can often be added dangers for bikers in the colder weather, and as we are set to see the worst of the difficult road conditions over the next few weeks and months, it is important to remind people about the issues at large.

Ultimately, bikers will have to take extra care on the roads because of the lack of care that can sometimes be paid to them from other road users. Even though there is no excuse to simply blame the difficult conditions in the colder weather, we know that not all other road users will consider the fact that bikers can be more vulnerable and can be more difficult to see. As such, for the safety of motorbike riders, it is absolutely vital that extra care needs to be taken to account for the fact that other road users may be more of a danger.

It should not be that way at all, but that is the way that we have to see it. However, as we said above, there is no excuse for blaming harsher conditions in the colder weather, which we will go on to advise more about below.

No excuse for negligence

It is not a valid excuse for a road user who has been negligent in the duty of care that they have for a biker to simply blame bad weather and get away with what has happened. All road users know that they must adjust their driving to account for more challenging conditions, and must make sure to look out for more vulnerable road users, especially with riders more difficult to spot.

If you are injured as a biker in an accident, and a contributory factor to the incident in the opinion of another driver was the bad weather, that is no excuse. They can still be liable for any damages that you suffer, which can include you pursuing a personal injury compensation case against their insurers. For this type of case, we may be able to represent you for a legal claim on a No Win, No Fee basis.
