Well, driving home from work today and some silly cow on a mobile decides she wants to go straight on while being in the lane for turning right on the roundabout. Nearly smashing into the side of me while she's jabbering away on the mobile.
Now we're on a straight bit of road, she decides to go for the over take, completely miss judging things when she pulls in in front of me, smashing into the front of my car. Ive come to a stop thinking the bint will do the same, but no, she ploughs on, overtaking traffic on blind bends.
Luckily, I got her number plate. Spent over an hour down at the nick, another 4 hour at the hospital because my neck is absolutely fu*ked. Now my insurers are telling me I don't have no replacement car on my policy and it will probably be her word against mine.
I'm pissed off, carless and in agony.
F*cking women drivers.

Hope you didn't get as far as getting a new car then..
People who use a mobile when driving should be dealt with as harshly as drunk drivers are now, drunk drivers should then be moved up several notches .. Selfish, ignorant thoughtless morons who care for nothing except themselves.
Hope you get her sorted. and you better soon..:)

Last night, about 9.10

My thoughts are the same Debs, you either drink or drive, you either use your phone or drive you dont do both.

Look on the bright side, thats next years season ticket sorted! ;)

If it goes down as a non fault claim.
Who knows what yarn this moron will spin when she's contacted by the Police and her insurers.
As a side note, the Police are utterly useless. There I am, smashed up on a grass verge and they wouldn't even attend the scene. I even got a rollocking for dialling 999 as in their eye's it wasn't an emergency.
I'm beginning to wonder whether they will actually persue her or not, or just come out with the old line \"it's your word against her's\".

fcuking police these days,if its not a simple arrest
where all the facts are laid out infront of them they may
brush it to one side.
you get the reg number,the police have it,all they have to do
is drive to the registered address and look at said car
for tell tale signs thats its been in a accident and start from there.
that bint if she is clever will have her husband or other half
on the case of getting car repaired asap,hence getting rid of any accident.
on another note who eles are you supposed to call after a
traffic accident?

Exactly Oslo. When I visited the nick last night, the number of Police cars sat outside empty were unreal, not to mention the ones laughing and joking with a nice warm brew in the station doing feck all.
Makes my blood boil.

Should have told them you were injured, I think theyve got to attend then.
Btw if its the mondeo wouldn't it be worth having it written off ;)
Hope you sort it ok

I felt fine at the time. It wasn't until a couple of hours later that my neck and shoulders started playing up.
Yep it was the Mondeo! Not much choice no but to go out on buy something else. I'm screwed without a motor!

Where did this happen mate ?
-
Armthorpe Lane on way to Barnby Dun.

I work at Next in Armthorpe. It's amazing how many cars I see in the ditch just before you get to Old Cantley on my way to work early in a morning.

A harsh lesson I learnt a few years ago.
Car was parked outside the girlfriends, woke up in the morning, big dent in the front wing/door. Guy down the road was spotted having a row with his missus and driving off at speed in the middle of the night. I gave the police his name, address, car reg and description (with obvious damage to the rear bumper), name and address of a witness who had seen him arguing in the street and a PIECE OF HIS BUMPER THAT WAS LODGED IN MY CAR. Open and shut?
Guess what? Yeah, fcuk all, and I had to pay for the damage so I didn't lose my no-claims. Guy was a prison officer, so maybe that worked against me.
-
I guess then, if you're ever involved in an accident, and its your fault, just leave the scene and you get away with it.
I've phoned the Police for an update this evening. Surprise, surprise it hasn't been looked at yet.
If I ever get pulled up again for a brake light out or anyting i'll go nuts.
-
So you sped up as she tried to pull in, albeit she shouldnt of over taken. You thought fuk this her getting in put gas on a bit as she pulled in so collided. Now a small front end shunt has resulted in you aying your in pain ? Most likely you claiming whiplash.
Your as bad as the bint frosty :woohoo:

Why ? As you ay they won't have done nothing to even know your troubles. Though a light out is a pulling over offence.

Actually I didn't speed up as to not let her in. I wanted her out of the way as the way she was driving I could see she was likely to cause an accident.
As for small shunt it was a 35mph collision which end with me being forced into a raised grass verge.

Now let me see and do my Sherlock bit.
35mph shunt...probably exaggerated too (most speed guessing is usually on the high side), so assume slightly slower.
Armthorpe Lane to Barnby Dun..... is that not 40mph anyway.
So this lady is well within the speed limit no doubt.
I am going to hazard a rough guess that you two were jockeying for position when a 2 lane road becomes 1 lane, with the old 'I'm having the 1 lane first as I am such a proud will not budge driver'..........it then becomes a case of you have got into a position where she cannot get into the 1 lane ahead and left her no alternative (although stupid) to try and cut infront of you. You have still thought f**k this bitch/driver she will not cut in as it will cause an accident and I am a proud driver who moves for nobody, and continued to not allow her into the 1 lane, the rest is, well you all know the rest.
Now tell me, am I right?

No you're wrong. Take a drive down the road pal and get your facts righ about the road.
The roundabout which I was travelling on initially has two lans, one for straight on and one for right only. She was in the one for right only. She's on a mobile for starters. Without indicating she decides she's going straight on and nearly ploughs into the side of me then.
Once on Armthorpe Lane she overtakes me (still on her phone) pulls back in and slams into the side of me. There was no jockying for lane's as there is only one lane on the road, and only one lane for that direction coming off the roundabout. I actually wanted her to over take me as she was driving like a pillock.
She's already comitted two driving offences even if you ignore the fact she's hit me. Driving while on a mobile and leaving the scene of an accident (also failing to report as the police have told me she hasn't reported within 24 hours which is law).
I fail to see how any blame could be attributed to myself. I've not been in the wrong lane I wasn't on a mobile, I wasn't speeding and I let her overtake without obstructing her.
I'd consider myself to be a responsible driver. I know how damaging dangerous and wreckless driving can be and how it damages lives.
EDIT: Armthorpe Lane is a national speed limit road. I've also got GPS tracking in my car, and I was travelling 34mph when the accident ocurred.
-
Hot darn. I thought I'd summed that up well.
Are you aware by being in the VSC that it encourages other drivers to drive more sensibly around you. Also, by law, if you are involved in an accident with a VSC member, you have to stop immediately, say sorry and pay up. Finally, when you phoned the Cops, did you tell them your were a VSC member?
-
Shit, I didn't know that! But thanks for the heads up!
-
Don't worry Frosty, It was yourself being crazy not the women.
TUT.
-
No wonder it's costing me over a grand for my insurance renewal with people like Frosty playing dodgems on a monthly basis. ;)

Just had a phone call from Enterprise rent a car. They've got a hire car waiting for me. Wonder if she's admitted liability, as I don't have this option on my policy and my insurers said I'd only get a hire car if she admitted fault and they could claim back the costs.
