The situation, last thursday I entered a 50 limit dual carriageway and a chav'd Corsa and a Saxo go past me like I'm standing still. Seconds later, the Saxo goes for an overtake, the Corsa pulls out, the Saxo brakes and swerves. He hits a raised kerb and comes to a stop ten meteres from a petrol pump.
BP service station on the A50 eastbound before the exit for Blythe Bridge/Meir park.
Anyway, I saw this happen and stopped to check the lad in the Saxo was ok. He was in shock mainly, his car was knackered. My take was he was racing, but the guy in the Corsa (who he'd got a reg plate for) pulled out forcing him to brake and lose control. Still the Saxo driver's fault IMO.
Anyway, he said if he needed a police statement would I provide one, I said I would.
Had a call earlier, asking for details for his insurance company. Should I back away at this point?
Personally I think the guy was a **** but he learnt a valuable lesson that night.
Edit: I'm not sure why I agreed to help, not sure what the implications are?
