IME Direct Line are very good, I was hit by one of their drivers (I was in a car) & they handled everything including a compensation claim for whiplash.I think the fact that the guy was straight-up and didn't disappear helped the police decide that verbal encouragement to be more careful in future would suffice. I've now spoken with his insurance provider and they'll be back in touch tomorrow once they've had a chat with the guy. It should be a no-brainer that I get some sort of compensation but you never know.

Yeah, the junction at Crow Road can be mental. If everyone plays nice and sticks to the rules you can get from one side to the next just fine. But it does feel risky as no-one seems to know which lane they need to be in to get through it and so all sorts of chaos ensues, often at speed as you say as it's a fairly open junction with room to give it some welly.
The roundabout at Seaward Street is always busy and with a motorway off-ramp on one side, the potential for high-speed contact is always there. I never feel safe going through it until I can see for sure that no cars are coming off the motorway and I'm safely out the other side.
