Mitsubishi pajero/shogun sitting up my ass, car in front indicates to turn the corner and slows down, I slow down gently....he locks his wheels and barely stops before hitting me.

Not learning from his previous lesson he decides to flash his main beams at me and sit even closer to me, this time its my turn to turn off the road...I indicate early to give him time to back off, I slow down gently but hes obv not paying attention...whack.

I put hazards on and im just about to get out when he overtakes me, indicates to turn down the road I was about to go down....fair enough I think he must be leaving the main road to sort out details etc, I crawl round the corner...the gits speeding off down the road so I give chase to get his plate (pajeros aren’t all that quick luckily) after catching him up he stops gets out and starts kicking off...at this point im in 2 minds do I get out and go for it....no I thought don’t know what he’s capable off so phone the police and give his details...apparently they’ve put a wanted out on his plate, god knows whether this will achieve anything...im wondering if he’s even insured.

Cars not looking too bad, small dent in the boot and number plate light buggered...will prob need a new bumper and boot I guess could have come out a lot worse from that tank hitting me in my little clio

im still really p'd off, got to go the police station tomorrow morning apparently...no doubt they will know nothing about the hole thing. :(

sorry for poor spelling etc really cba at the min

scum like him arent worth the hassle, he almost rolled his 4x4 trying to outpace me rd a corner...if he had....i would have simply pointed...laughed....gone home lol
 
or a combo of the last 2 replies

drunk and uninsured.

he really was in a hurry to get away, he was trying his hardest to loose me but i stuck with him till i had a plate
 
Mitsubishi pajero/shogun

Got to be a ***** with that wagon.

No licence, tax, insurance and MOT.

Unfortunately the police will probably be uninterested. Took me 7 months to get them to listen to me about the guy who hit and run me. Even then he only stood trial for having no licence or insurance. He got 3 points on a licence he hasn't got and a £300 fine he has to pay back at 50p a week.

I got nothing.

ill be hitting him hard in the pocket if that happens, ill sue him for every penny he hasnt got. i dont pay nearly £800 a year insurance so if i have a crash other people have to deal with this sorta crap.

im just about to go down the police station now will let you all know what happens.
 
its crap to hear things like that russ, shame there wasnt an ocuk detective with a camera nearby (like on that other american thread!).

hope that it wont cost too much to sort out.
 
That sucks, I was half expecting it to be my golf I sold yesterday LOL...

At least the damage doesn't seem to bad, hopefully they'll get him.
 
Bad news im afraid, the guy was uninsured as i expected. First thing the copper said was he was prob ****** and a gypo in that kinda vehicle.

Got to say im very unimpressed with the police, they just didn’t appear interested to me, was just all a formality in their eyes.

I asked if he was local and alls the copper would say is hes not a million miles away...hopefully will mean hes not a gypo.

As for repairs been to the bodyshop needs a new boot and bumper but luckily the boot floor is a'ok.

cost wise the bodyshop are saying £260 for non genuine parts + vat + labour but hes gonna post me a full written quote tonight so will see what that says come tuesday time. Going to go a few other body shops on mon and see what they have to say. Not sure whether to go through insurance or not...tempted slam the car into a lamppost lol

anybody been in a similar situation? im considering taking legal advice on monday.
 
i would but im well on my way to my 1st years no claims and dont want to loose it. im fed up of high insurance premiums :(
