Specialist Support for Brighton Riders

Brighton is a narrow city pressed between the sea and the Downs, and almost all of its traffic is forced through a small number of routes. The A23 London Road corridor funnels everything into the centre, the A259 seafront mixes heavy tourist traffic with buses, parking manoeuvres and pedestrians stepping out, and the Old Steine gyratory concentrates it all into one busy set of junctions. North of the city the A27 bypass is a different environment entirely, with fast traffic and junctions at Falmer and Devil's Dyke that catch riders out. The city also draws a large seasonal influx of visiting riders on the Downs roads, many unfamiliar with the routes they are on.

FAQs for Brighton riders

Information relevant to pursuing claims in your area.

Being doored is a recognised scenario and the person opening the door generally carries responsibility for checking first. Try to note the vehicle and any witnesses, as these cases can turn on identification.

No. Where the accident happened is what matters, not where you live, and the same law applies across England and Wales.

Brighton, Hove, Portslade, Kemptown, Woodingdean, Preston Park, Patcham and the wider Sussex area.

Not necessarily, and the seafront is well covered by cameras and busy with potential witnesses. Acting quickly matters because footage is often retained only briefly.

Where a road defect contributed, there may be a route to a claim against the authority responsible. Photograph the defect with something for scale as soon as you safely can.
