There is a perfectly logical reason for that, when you think about it, those miles are included in almost every journey
I have had the opposite where a woman pulled out in front of me, wrecking my CB 750 and then got a letter from her husband (who was nowhere near the scene btw ) saying it was my fault because "I was obviously speeding being on a motorbike". ( such is prejudice )
Fortunately I had a couple of witnesses. Always take witness details they seem superficial in the shake up but they are vital when the dust settles.
