Mick The Cabbie Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 Went to a local RSOC show on Sunday. Had a great time. See event reports. Half way back I decided to avoid the ring road back home. Too boring with too many outside lane hoggers doing 30mph. So thought I'd have a dash back through town instead. So just 1/2 mile into my de-tour, I'm pottering up a wide main road towards the city. Lots of traffic and a steady 30mph. Suddenly amongst the many cars travelling in the opposite direction is a small blue piece of plastic. He's slightly wandering a bit over the white line I'm thinking he must be txting or picking his arse or something. He'll wake up in a second & swerve back to his side. Then he's wandering well over the white line Fooooooooook! The twats coming head on right at me!! OMG he's either asleep or tryin to top himself! This's gonna hurt!!! Where am I gonna go????? Luckily there was a bus lane for me to dive into. I swerved out of his way waiting for the bang but praying that he wouldn't go down the side of me. BANG!!!!!!! I stopped in total shock & looked round expecting him to be stopped just behind me The c*nts not there is he He's woken up and bounced straight back to his side of the road & fooked off I spun straight round and saw him 5 cars infront. He must ave seen/heard me (you'd ave thought the green had just lit at the pod) Knowing he had NO chance of getting away, he saw sense & pulled over 1/4mile down the road. I pulled along side and I won't bother type next few sentences. I think you'll have an idea what I said to him.. I parked up properly and gets out the car. "Are you drunk or on drugs?" No "Did you fall asleep at the wheel?" No "Then what the fu*k where you doing?????" I had cramp in my leg and was bending down rubbing it.. Thought I was still going in a straight line... Result, I managed to save the car from being totalled. But I'm still lumbered with this
over_head_cam Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 That's not nice m8 I'm afraid I would have probably done the 'battering his dumb face on the pavement ' dance Surely the insurance will sort it out?
Yeomans22 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 is that the little twat in the picture with the corsa? the fact he didn't stop after the accident warrents a trip to the police station maybe? best to go through insurance, tell them if the paint match isn't perfect they can respray the whole thing.
Mick The Cabbie Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Posted August 26, 2009 Damn right I'm claiming on his insurance! Bloody cops didn't want to know. I was on the phone for 10mins trying to get em to send someone down
escort new boy Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 i bet if you knocked him out for doing it theyd send someone down tho ! King arsehole for driving off, id of smacked him
lotusless Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 surely he left the scene of an accident which i'm sure IS a fookin offence! any police bods confirm this? i would go to the police station + make a complaint they will have a record of your phone call. glad your ok but these twats cant get away with this shite
zetecmk2 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 oh sheet!!! be ready for the long haul! my 3rd party claim has taken 9 mts now!
turnover Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 bloody hell Mick what you doing to my poor old car,seriously though bad luck mate ,dont look too bad
joe1600 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 Ohh fooook that’s nasty. The police should surely do something as he left the scene of a accident. it a amazes me that there so eager to catch u speeding but don’t give a crap when there is a real offence Hope u get this sorted
Fishtailparka Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 I'm afraid I would have just bashed him and fixed it myself.
Ems_mk2_estate Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 OMG, got to agree with most! I prob would have lost it and kicked the crap out of him too! Maybe he thought the OSF would never catch up with him, How wrong was he? Hope you get that sorted though!
EscortHeadCase Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 is it like when a dog craps on the carpet. You rub their nose in it?
100edave Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 Nooooooo! Modern shite, and thats the worst bit is when they say "it only an old banger mate!" Remember only use NOS parts and charge him up. Dave
Mr2Caps Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 Hope you can get it all sorted soon! Twice last week I had someone drive at me having crossed the white line, one the lad realised and swerved back onto his side of the road. (I had actually stopped in the middle of the road hoping he'd realise... ) The other one, I had to drive up a bank to avoid him! Both times I'm driving a 4x4 so not exactly difficult to spot.....
Boreham Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 could have been worse though.... shame.... some people have no Conscious........
Daggle Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 Ohh fooook that’s nasty. The police should surely do something as he left the scene of a accident. it a amazes me that there so eager to catch u speeding but don’t give a crap when there is a real offence Hope u get this sorted Of course having the degree in law you would know that, that is an offence, but sadly you are wrong, if you understand the law, then you would know that you have 24hrs in which to report an accident and that technically he could say that he was on his way to the Police Station to report it........
SebringRS Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 ouch! thank god for the bus stop otherwise tht could of been lots worse The police can't be arsed to do anythin, thats the problem with most of out cops. Example: our local police station closes at 7pm, and we have to go throught to a station bout 15miles away, then they come and deal with the problem. I mean, wat kind of police station closes???
Mick The Cabbie Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Posted August 27, 2009 This really has got to me over the last few days.. Thanks very much for your support/sympathy lads Officer Daggle! I was hopeing you'd show up. You have a pm
Mr Sam Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 should of said to the copper 'ill take matters into my own hands then, and make the sound as if your cocking a gun ' yours is such a clean straight car though! still sounds as if it could of been alot worse, why couldnt it of clipped something plastic though
Mick The Cabbie Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Posted August 27, 2009 Haha, good idea Sam, I never thought of that! Keeeeeerlick! Yeah, I was surrounded by plastic (arent we always ) They'd probably ave bounced like dodgems. Actually, I'd been alongside a bus for a while before this happened. My witness said that I he'd ave missed me, he'd ave hit the bus head on!!!
YOUNGY Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 sorry to here your bad news love your car to,i don't know how you managed not to beat him to a pulp
over_head_cam Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 Ohh fooook that’s nasty.

Like a lot of laws, I think this one is quite outdated and relies on peoples honesty. Thing is as well peeps, the Police don't make the laws, so let's not blame them
bigdaz27 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 they might not make them but most of them think they did police i shit em
over_head_cam Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 they might not make them but most of them think they did police i shit em You shit them? wtf is that all about? And most of them? Have you met most of them then?
