His bike was impounded and his licence was suspended for 28 days.

He was also summonsed to appear in court.

About 9.35pm on Sunday, a woman crashed her car into a man’s car when she pulled into his lane in Caversham Valley Rd without checking her blind spot.

There were no injuries or alcohol involved but the man's car blocked the intersection because its airbags had gone off.
