    On a side note, today I have witnessed one Dublin Bike almost T-bone another in a middle of a busy intersection in the city centre. Both have just jumped red lights, other traffic was waiting :)

    Apologies OP I did not read your original post properly - I am currently fixated with running down cases involving vehicles that are not bicycles :o

    The basic principles are the same as if you were driving a car in terms of potential legal liabilities.

    Don't be worried about being outnumbered by witnesses from the other side who "swear up" suitably. Outweighing opponents by the sheer number of witnesses does not automatically ensure a win for them. A smart judge usually has little difficulty in seeing through perfectly harmonious evidence from all members of the plaintiff's choir.

    You probably have public liability insurance against any potential liability to the other guy or even the legal costs of defending any case from him. You will probably find the liability cover under the contents section of your household insurance. Might be no harm to notify the incident to them just to cover yourself in case anything develops.
