In general terms, each road user in Scotland has a responsibility to act as a reasonable person would in any given situation. If that doesn’t happen and it causes a motorcycle accident in Scotland in which someone else suffers an injury (whether a bodily injury or property damage) that could reasonably have been anticipated, the wrongdoer may be liable to pay compensation. That compensation may be met from the wrongdoer’s insurance policy or from the scheme established to protect the public against uninsured or untraced drivers.
