Someone Just Took Me Up The Rear

[Katanarog]

Out in the motor today up at 'High Beech'. Some wan*** drove into the back of me when I was stopped at a give way sign. I looked round to see what had happened to find a little Suzuki Swift reversing at high speed to get away! I jumped out of my car. As he swung round he got stuck in a ditch. Four teenagers jumped out and pushed their car out of the ditch. I tried to get the keys to their car to stop them getting away as I was on the phone to the police but there was four of them and one of me. I got their reg but what good is that going to do it woint fix my rear quarter. I guess my insurance will pay for the damage but I will pay next year in my premium.

fvckers. you get the feeling they've done this before, given the way they were quick to run...

Sorry to hear that Katanarog, I know High Beech very well and always see the same type of f***ing idiots drving around especially at the weekend. Well, if you want a hand searching for the b*****ds, I'd be happy to assist, I think the sight of two mean Cerbera's would scare anyone.

Good luck and hope everything gets sorted.

You must have been fuming all day. If it was the wild wild west, I'd have been right there with you, and we'd have shot em dead, on the spot, no doubt with an approving nod from the sherrif.

What sucks, is the fact that these very same people will no doubt brag to their mates what a close call it was (for them!) and how funny their getaway was, and how well they did to eacape etc etc...

Er, forgive me for asking, but if you got their reg (and assuming it isn't forged) things should be pretty straightforward, no? It was a hit and run, after all...
Over here in the Netherlands, that's not just violation, it's a criminal offense...

Sorry to hear that, but don't get angry,get even (Clint Eastwood circa 1977ish, I think). Too late now I know,but worth thinking about for the future,I always keep a £3.99 disposable camera under the seat,much more legal than a baseball bat, (though less satisfying) and very worrying for the little bas****s when you start taking their portraits instead of losing it with them.

Sorry to hear this, Roger!

Can't believe this has happened in the UK. I was the opinion that UK people are normally treat each other with respect.

Hope the damage isn't too bad.

The Police will probably be too busy focussing their cash-collection cameras to bother tracking down the t**t who rear ended you. You might be able to get their address from the DVLA though (see www.dvla.gov.uk/vehicles/relinfo.htm), so that you can pay them a visit yourself. Good luck!

why dont you wait and see A--e?
Oh lord - wondered how long it would be before someone started on the s
I think we should cut out the middle man and start driving into people then running off ourselves
That would then give a---s like you genuine reason to moan.
Your not a painter and decorator are you?
One did a really bad job on my windows once and since then I think theyre all cowboys
Or
Once a builder did a shoddy job on my repointing

GET MY DRIFT!

:rantover: off to look for someone to ticket

I had a guy smash into my Cerbie. He didn't have the chance to run, as his car was pretty well mangled. However, he wasn't insured! The Police found this out at the scene, and they said they would throw the book at him.

A few months later, I got a letter. It said that he hadn't appeared for his court appearance, and the Police "couldn't find him" (it didn't mention whether they had actually gone to his house or not). The upshot was that his crap driving was counted as if it had been my fault.

Scumbags. Don't you just love em?

extract:
Reasons for release of vehicle register information

Regulations provide for the release of information to ...... anyone who can demonstrate 'reasonable cause'. ..... for scientific, technical, health, social and economic research or statistical analysis.

You can obtain the name and address of the registered keeper of a vehicle if you can show reasonable cause for needing the information.

Members of the public will need to complete form V888.

end extract:

I can't imagine form V888 (nice number) having a multiple choice section, though can you?...

"Why do you need this information? (please tick only one box):

a. I am a police officer
b. I am a Traffic Warden
c. I am Ken Livingstone.
d. I am an extremely angry and violent individual that has had his car rammed by some young w...er and I want to pay him a visit in the very early hours of the morning to beat the sh.t out of him."

Sounds like a reasonable cause to me.

Gemini - I'm surprised you have the nerve to rant at anyone never mind call them an A**E. You sang totally out of key on Saturday night - Nil Points. Nice legs though.
