My husband died 10 years ago in a similar motorbike accident. At the inquest it was determined that it was simply that - an accident.

The coroner issued a warning to 'Born Again Bikers' - men of a certain age who have perhaps got money to spash out on their dream bike.

As far as justice goes, the driver of the car my husband ran into has had to live with the consequences since - and my children have had to grow up without their father.

I don't know about justice, but I do know about living with the nightmare.
