Cyclist down - Me!

[Mo1959]

Will do. One thing is lack of witnesses. Two people who actually witnessed the collision would stay and give details. Didn't want to get invoved. Unfortunately didn't have my camera on board as I don't have a mount on the Brompton.

That's a shame re the witnesses. It would have helped a lot. My neighbour was knocked off by a pick up turning right across his path last year and was fortunate that the witnesses were more than willing to be interviewed. Driver got done with careless driving and neighbour ended up with a £3,000 payout!

What about any security cameras would that not be an independant witness?

That sucks. GWS and a virtual hug.

hit and run shocker - I think in most hit and run cases the number plates on the car are likely to be fake

 

[jazzkat]

Get well soon.
I hope everything, injuries and the driver getting his comeuppance, is resolved quickly

 

[Steady]

All the best.

Hope the CCTV cameras prove to be extremely useful. It's frustrating to hear about and must be extremely frustrating for yourself, but try to keep your focus on you regardless of what happens to the driver.

Fortunately they weren't in this case.

Also hope wee Brompton is ok!

Thanks Pat.

Quote for the Brompton is £220, but obviously this is going to be claimed from the drivers insurers.

Criminal proceedings, the perp has done a runner, police putting him out as wanted.

Cripes. It's a bit too much like Miami Vice. I hope they get him.

That's quite an admission of guilt.

 

[young Ed]

why oh why oh why? idiot should get some sort of serious punishment that may not be all to humane!
well at least the brompton isn't a write off
also good to hear you are with CTC as hopefully they will be of great help

Cheers Ed

 

[nappadang]

At least you're not too badly hurt which has to be the most important thing.
Extra wine is a must!

Pity it could never be used against them in a court though.
Does rule out "I panicked" that follows a hit and run though.
