Well, its finally got me.

5:10, on the way out of work on the way to football, im going down a country lane, and see a new golf GTi coming the other way, theres plenty of room for us both to pass, but I easy off a little bit. Just before we come to pass eachother he darts into the middle of the road, and I take evasive manouvers and turn towards the side of the road to avoid the golf. my car hits *** embankment and drives up it, slamming my wing mirror and passenger door into an overhanging tree root. I come to a standstill with the car resting on the ebankment at about a 40 degree angle. I look over, see the golf gti driver look at me, and drive off !

I've reported it to the police, but as I only ahve the first 2 letters and 2 numbers they arent too hopeful.

good news is im ok.

Lesson learned? yes... if you ever see a car approaching you on a country lane, expect them to try and ram you off :(
 
:eek: ******* hell Gaz! That's awful mate :(

There are some retards in this world. I can't say on here what I'd be feel like doing if that happened to me.

How's the damage?

Hope you do find him, a mass ocuk beating meet might be in order.

If you have the first two letters and numbers + colour i wouldn't have thought the police would have much of a problem tracking him down?

well, I told them I didnt see there being that many 55 plate golf gtis, let alone with all the other info I have (his description etc)

thing is, the police said even if they do find him, he can just say that he didnt move over and thats the end of it

its not that bad really, just gonna need a new door + mirror assembly, gonna go round some bodyshops and get some prices as I cant afford to loose my NCB (ive just started what would be my 4th year if I complete it, so seems a shame)

The police are ******** :mad:

What happened to 'leaving the scene of an accident'?

I dunno, I guess if they find him that should go against him, alongside failing to report an accident, but I dunno what the penalties for that are

Shame his mirror didn't clip yours since then you would have some sort of proof.

Did ford sort your car out btw?

yeah, I thought id updated the thread ! turns out the injector timings had mysteriously been reset...

If he says he did nothing wrong, and it can't be proved otherwise, then he wasn't involved in an accident to leave the scene of, he was just passing when it happened.

should have hit the Golf really.

yeah, hindsight is a lovely thing, copper at the station said the same, but then followed that with 'however, you might not be standing here now if you did, you could be lying on a hospital bed with nasty injuries

If that happened the insurance company would probably call it 50:50 anyway.
