I had just said goodbye to pheebs as she went of to walk into town, when two minutes later she calls me saying "a car just ran into me - I'm Ok though". For a second I thought "But shes walking, not in a car...what is she talking about?!" and went down to collect her and make sure she wasnt going to go into shock or anything.
Basically, she was walking down The Avenue in Southampton, and was crossing at a set of lights that were red and bleeping for her. She went infront of a stopped lorry, then heard screeching of brakes and a car bump into her leg. She said she put a hand out onto the bonnet and pushed herself forward out of the path of the car, which then continued to roll across the crossing whilst Pheebs stood their dazed.
He then sped off with the light still red - but this really gets me... He gestures at her and effs and blinds at her as he drives away.
I'm truely shocked and disgusted at this guy. I could swear till I'm blue in the face - but these forums wouldnt be so accomodating towards me.
No he didnt sound like he had any authorotive reason to run a red light, or to speed away without acknowledging that someone he hit was ok.
Pheebs unfortunatly didnt manage to get a look at the full reg, which I'm not surprised about. She got a make of car though, a reg letter, and a color. Apparently the guy driving it was late thirtys maybe, and looked foreign... Not that his nationality makes any difference.. but still.
I kept an eye out as I drove pheebs to her destination, but he was probably long gone by then.
/rant and disbelief.
Grrr I've just seen dark_shadows thread - What a sorry state of affairs the world is in
