Three guesses who was trying to U-turn off the footpath again?

[skidMark]

here's my guesses.

1.the lady who U turned infront of me on friday causing me to smack into her side on and bin.

2.the lady who U turned infront of me on friday causing me to smack into her side on and bin.

3.the lady who U turned infront of me on friday causing me to smack into her side on and bin.

got all her details now.....

here's pics of the cage...

a reasonable effort i thought....

[Maha]

My guess is
the lady who U turned infront of you on friday causing you to smack into her side on and bin
i think im right?...........is there a prize?........:blip:

[Indoo]

a reasonable effort i thought....

Yep and hopefully by now you've finally started riding like a paranoid fker thinking no-one is going to see you rather than riding the wrong way around roundabouts and praying like god they do.

[skidMark]

don't try give me advice...you ride a honda...enuff said

[chickenfunkstar]

Good on ya. Report her to the police then milk her for all she's worth. Doubt she's short of $$$.

[Swoop]

Any hints on how you tracked her down without a rego???

[The_Dover]

Any hints on how you tracked her down without a rego???

It was his mom's car.:doobey:

[Swoop]

It was his mom.:doobey:
Where would a guy be without his mum, eh?

[Jonny Rotten]

don't try give me advice...you ride a honda...enuff said

ah the old bag the guy on the honda trick aye!!!! id rather ride my honda than have to jump start a gpx.......

did you go back to the school and hide in the bushes with you camera and wait for the little kiddys ........er umm i mean the lady in the car to turn up......did ya hit her up for her insurance details....... might be best if you go file a police report on the crash (tho it might be to late) then she might get done for dangerous driving

you ride the worst honda ever made, please don't criticise the gpx...

[Indoo]

don't try give me advice...you ride a honda...enuff said

Yep but you ride the wrong way around roundabouts in traffic. You shouldn't ride at all, at least until you grow up.

[Jonny Rotten]

you ride the worst honda ever made, please don't criticise the gpx...

oh im sorry i didnt mean to offend you i take it all back.....let my try again

id rather ride my honda than ride marks gpx........... is that better?

[Sketchy_Racer]

id rather ride my honda than ride marks gpx........... is that better?

Yeah, but only cause it has no crash damage. The Kawasaki is FAAAAAR supirior to the HonDuh

[Maha]

Children Children Children......every non honda owner know's all to well that the worst honda ever made is.............. the next one.....:nya:

[crashe]

Did you get a pic of her actually having her car up on the footpath doing that U-Turn?

Were there children near the car when she was doing this U-Turn?

Now go to the police station and fill out all the forms and do her for failing to report the accident.

And get your insurance company to do her like a dog's dinner...

She obviously isnt too worried about the ding to her car at all... most likely one of many dings :whistle:

[skidMark]

i went round to the school and was going to wait for her i thought ill get there just as school ends and i may see her i'm riding up school still isn't out and there she was again on the footpath trying to pull out and i thought...gotcha lol
got all her details

[Scorpygirl]

Yip do as Crashe and others have said - go for the jugular!!! :blip: If she U-Turns like that around a school it is likely she we will hit a small child next (and kill them)!! You have the details now, go to the Police!! :yes:

Take care and keep us in touch.

[Sketchy_Racer]

What did you say to her.

If some silly bitch pulled infront of me and ran away, Fuck, She had better keep running

[skidMark]

shes saying i must have run the red light at the pedestrian crossing 15-20 metres before she pulled out.... she says it was a red light on her side of it and cars were starting to stop at it going the other way that i was...which is bs because i know i went through a green....

and regardless she did still not give way to her right even if i had run the red light prior myself and others i have talked to say she still did not give way to her right.... yeah like i'm really gunna run a red with schoolkids everywhere over a pedestrian crossing....

i mean honestly thats just stupid i know i ddn't run a red and it's my word against hers.

[Maha]

What did you say to her.

Why????..........what are ya gonna do?..... hit with your handbag and then put it on TradeMe?......:blip:

[imdying]

Stand your ground, the ajudicator at the disputes tribunal will listen to both sides, regardless of how snooty she is.

[Scorpygirl]

Why????..........what are ya gonna do?..... hit with your handbag and then put it on TradeMe?......:blip:

Now that's a great idea!!!! :blip: :doobey: Fifty percent goes to SpankMe!!! :blah:

[Ixion]

Sounds like she's telling porkys to me. Though it is just possible I guess that the light might have been green when you went through and turned red by the time she turned in front of you.

However --- that is irrelevant. No matter where you came from she must not turn in front of you. You might have come out of a driveway between her and the light, for instance. If you were riding in a straight line 20 metre from the lights, and she turned in front of you, she is completely in the wrong .

Hang her out to dry.

[grego]

I don't think one HAS TO report an accident unless somebody got injured. The fact that she stuck her noggin out the window and asked if you were allright will still not absolve her from getting a fine though.

The bitch is, we know how easy it is to get seriously hurt in an incident like this , they don't.

And even worse, the cops are really happy to let the tintop:angry: drivers get away with a $ 150 fine and accept the fucked up excuse of : "honest officer I did not see him"

It really stinks............, sucks............. and blows..........

[John Banks]

She saw the light was red yet she didn't see you coming towards her?

Hahaha, pull the other one. It's got bells on.

[Ixion]

Any person involved in an accident must:

1) If anyone is injured report the accident the police
2) If any property is damged (included vehicles involved) either:
a) provide details of name address etc to other parties involved or
b) report the accident to the police.

Since there was (at least) damage , she was obliged in alw to give Mark her name , address, rego etc OR report the accident to the police.

But, of course , the old rule applies. You 're a motorcyclist so you're automatically wrong.

[Sketchy_Racer]

Why????..........what are ya gonna do?..... hit with your handbag and then put it on TradeMe?......
Nope,

I would kick her arse 'til her nose bleeds

[skidMark]

i've just talked to her over the phone....she is saying i was at fault and said there were cars stopped going both ways.....and that i ran a red light and am at fault and she is going to get some quotes from panel beaters. and her insurance company will be in contact....and that i was most likely "showing off to the girls"......

she will not listen to anything i have to say insisting i ran the red light i said you failed to give way and there is no doubt in my mind that light was green.

she says you ran the light and i say i did not and you failed to give way.

at this point she is very shitty at me and says insurance company will be in contact.....

and that was that ....

i can't believe she thinks i'm at fault and wants me to pay for her car damage....

LET THE WAR BEGIN!!!!!! :nono: :angry: :angry: :nono: :angry: :angry: :nono:

[skidMark]

anybody keen to "donate" lawyer services? no way in hell i can afford to pay a lawyer....i'm broke as a errr broke thing

[imdying]

You don't need a lawyer, the Disputes Tribunal ajudicator won't care how learned you are. Just present the honest facts and you'll be fine.

/edit: They will take things like 'You hit her car, but she didn't stop and get your details. If she thought you were at fault and would pay for the repairs, why didn't she get your details...' into account.

[Sketchy_Racer]

Go to her house and slap her with a big fish.

Stupid bitch.

Get angry at her mark! Show your rage (at her)

[XTC]

Nope,

I would kick her arse 'til her nose bleeds
Yeah yeah whatever..... Grow up.

[Sketchy_Racer]

Yeah yeah whatever..... Grow up.



Sorry sir wont happen again sir

[Drum]

Havnt you got an insurance company on your side MA? Let them earn their money.

[ZeroIndex]

IT WAS ME!! I u-turn on and off footpaths more than more than 100 times a day (literally)

[Jonny Rotten]

go take some photos of the accident site ie: a photo of the direction you were coming from, were she was sitting prior to pulling out looking down the road to where you were coming from.
try to include all lights and signs in the photos.
draw a driagram of where the car and bike were at moment of impact. try to include where parked cars were also. you can never be to prepared when this goes to court.
if you need any legal advice just go to your local citizen advice bureau they have leagal aids there that will give you advice for free.
also contact her insurance company before she can.
they have a 24 hour 0800 number so call now.

[Titanium]

She be in the wrong, did a u turn with out making sure all was clear, similar to reversing, them reversing are always in the wrong (except when 2 reversing people crash in to each other, then they both pay for theri own)

Report her to police, get a quote to repair, send it to her, 7 days to pay up, if she no pay file at the claims tribunal, simple, no sweat, get on with your day.

Do not ring her, no contact.

"You are allowed to make a U-turn as long as your path is clear in both directions and it is safe to do so. Make sure you have enough room to complete the turn and don't create a hazard for oncoming vehicles. " Road Code 2005 version.

she did not write down the name of her insurance company...

and i myself have no insurance (to answer somebody elses earlier question)

[Jonny Rotten]

ring her back and find out her insurance company.... you will probably find she dont have one........and do what you can in preperation intill then

[Jonny Rotten]

i have just talked to my flatmate who is a lawyer for ya mark....and he seems to think that by leaving the secene of the accident (because there was damage and you might have been hurt) she will be in deep shit with the cops.... so go fry her as and dob her into the cops.....its your word versus hers so make your statement while it is fresh in your mind......... youll be right mate good always concers evil.... well sometimes

[John Banks]

Just tell her you're going to the police for a hit and run. Very serious charge. See if that wakes her up.

[FROSTY]

And at the time of accident you DID call the cops diddnt you??
You did take notes of what happened !!
ohh and who ran away from the scene of the accident ??

[skidMark]

she is also saying she didn't drive off .....fucking hell....this b**ch is pissing me off

[sAsLEX]

she is also saying she didn't drive off .....fucking hell....this b**ch is pissing me off

youll be doing yourself a huge favor by going in and making a report....this is something you dont want to loose.....

[skidMark]

[Brett]

Damn good work mate, now get her to restitute for her stupidity

Probably not, you attempted to report it and needed more information.

Report it to police, then get a quote and send it to her registered mail or courier, signature required, with a note saying she got 7 days to cough up, no cough up, straight to tribunal.

She will be banking on the fact that you will not do anything about it...... surprise her.

Been there done that.... have always won.

The 50 also take a dim view of incidents around schools.

yes there is i park mine right outside next to the ramp.....central is on cook street ............off you go lil fella

[skidMark]

ill go now and update when i get back....cya

[Titanium]

Ummmmmm the foot path? outside the police station....... oh thats illegal.:scooter:

[Sketchy_Racer]

Is someone really going to steal a bike that is outside the police station?

[sAsLEX]

yes there is i park mine right outside next to the ramp.....central is on cook street ............off you go lil fella

Ride up the ramp and park it on the "patio"

[Sniper]

Do her mate, she is obviously a snotty bitch who is used to getting her own way.

[crashe]

I had someone ram the rear end of my bike, whilst I was sitting on the bike at set of lights.
I rang the police there and then.
Was told by the operator on 111 to go to police station.
I went and filled in all the forms...
She was summened to court
For FAILING TO REPORT THE ACCIDENT.
Cost her $375 as she admitted guilty.
(This was only a couple of years ago)

This is why my number plate looks like it does... all mangled and bent out of shape and hanging the way it is...


Another senerio:
I did a U-Turn in my car on Ponsonby Rd at 11pm
The taxi did NOT have its lights on..
The taxi went into me.
Police told me didnt matter whether they had lights on or not.
I was at FAULT for doing the U-Turn and FAILING to see the other car coming at me.
My insurance company paid out. Cost to me - My Insurance no claims $300.
It never went to court as cops said sort it out between ourselves.

[Shadows]

For fucks sake, you let her get away AGAIN without headbutting the bitch!!!!??

[skidMark]

Ride up the ramp and park it on the "patio"

thats what i did after i filed the report the cop came out to lower the flag and was like wtf then he was like good idea LOL

basically the cop reckons she was at fault was a funny phono convo to hear in the background as she tried to defend herself ....for example...cop says: at what point is it his fault when you u turn infront of him....silence.... he ends up asking her this about 5 times...and at the end says exactly.....he then goes on to say..... (and here goes, the most used motorcycle accident quote ever (this is brilliant)) ....the cop says: did you see him coming..... (she obviously said no from what he says next) ....so he says back.... so if you did not see him how do you know where he was in relation to the traffic lights how could you possibly know if he ran the light if you never saw him so you had no idea where he was on the road......dead silence.... that cop is the man.

:doobey:

burn cager driver burnnnnnnnn :nya:

Good on ya mate.

She must be pissed now!

:doobey: :doobey: :doobey:

im making some :corn: and gunna watch what happens with this..... $1000000 for some fooking :corn: thatll learn me to not buy from movie theaters...

[Ixion]

Well done Mark. Good lord , is this a first? The bloody system WORKED. Biker one; idiot cager nil. As good a result as a crash can ever be.

I hope that it works out as well for the poor bugger who wrote off his Yamaha FZR summitoruvver in front of my horrified eyes tonight on the Mt Wellington Highway.

He'd ridden alongsideish me (me in left lane him in right, both moving up or falling back a bit as one lane went faster than the other), since the motorway. All very legal and responsible, no speeding , no lane splitting, just going with the traffic.

Came round the bend by Countdown where the two lanes become three, I moved to the (new) left lane, he was somewhere a length or two behind still in the right lane.

As I moved I saw a cage belting through the Countdown carpark toward the exit driveway. The old sixth sense started ringing the alarm bells, and I was on the brakes well before she shot out, without looking at all, heading directly across the road toward the side street on the other side, straight in front of me (and, as it turned out, also straight in front of the FZR.). I had plenty of time to go round behind her. The FZR wasn't so lucky.

Just as I was invoking the curse of Helmut the Horny Humper on her, I heard a swooocreccch-crump. Looked right and there was the poor Fizzer embedding itself in her driver's side door, and the rider falling to the road.

By the time I got Ratty stopped and parked, he had gotten up and staggered to the side of the road, where he was lying on the grass, moaning and clutching his nuts, which must have collected on the tank.

Cager did stop, didn't seem very concerned.

Rang ambo, ambo came ,zambucks put him in ambo, then after a while he staggered out again. Cops turned up eventually, I gave them a statement , they did plod stuff.

Yammy looked a write off. Fairing totaled, screen smashed, tank badly dented, forks bent, wheel bent I think.

Could have been worse I guess, for a few minutes I thought we might have been scraping him up. Stupid cow, just let her try arguing about it.

[skidMark]

yes they have still got to do a investigation cus the lady won't back down.......but the cop said it is very much looking in my favour...

and geez i hope the fzr rider will be alright...and hope the blind cager gets done for everything possible......

were you on your bike ixion? or in the 4wd?

[N4CR]

Fuck.. shoulda followed her once you figured he was okay.. or probably too late by then.

A few accidents lately have had no rego's given by the person at fault one of my mates had somethign similar a week ago. Fucking bastards.

Ixion arfe you sure it wasn't folcan he goes that way..................!?

P.s. good on you for sorting some shit mark I hoep she gets reamed.

[Ixion]

FZR rider was OK according to the zambucks, just in a lot of pain (delicate bits involved and all that).

I was on Ratty, caused a bit of confusion, I was pulling the mangled FZR off the road onto the footpath on the other side of the road , still had my helmet on etc and the ambo pulled up beside me and tried to start treating me! "No mate, the guy that's hurt is over on the other side of the road!".

Then the plod kept trying assuming that we knew each other ("Hey, you're both riding motorbikes,, you must know each other")

If I'd been in the Pajero I would have introduced her to Mr BullBar .

[Shadows]

yer while i was still on my way back from the station she rang up really pissed off and had a chew at my parents

Harassment???

No, she did stop, a bit of a way down the side street. When I left the plod were interviewing her. But I'd already got her rego.

EDIT Not Folcan, he was on here at 8:35 this evening. Similar looking bike, but I think it looked too big for a 250. Had the YPERVO (or whaddever it is) decals on it.

[Magua]

Great stuff mark, keep us updated. :rockon:

[skidMark]

funny how when two cars crash into each other they don't say you both drive cars... you must know each other....oh i'm sorry i was just dreaming there was a large outnumbering of bike on the road to cagers.....as you were

cops do a good job ...provided i'm being a good boy they leave me alone and help me out when i need them

[Insanity_rules]

Good on yer Mark. Hope you nail the biarch, I've been pulled out on a few times and it really gets the heart going. Luckily I haven't been collected yet. I drive a cage a lot in the course of my business day and can't get over how ignorant other drivers are of my biker family.

I've seen some wicked near misses out on the road, it just defies logic.

Good luck Ol son, get ALL your damage repaired properly "wink, wink".

She's a Merkin then?

Markauckland - Keep a record of when the woman rings your parents place. Plus keep a record of what she says to either you or your parents. She aint allowed to do that... that is called harressment.

Especially after the police had just spoken to her...

Let the police deal with it, plus your insurance company.

DO NOT ring her under any circumstances from now on.

Sounds like she is running scared after the Police rang her. Best thing you can all do is let the Police do their jobs and let them deal with the alledged offending driver. She might be digging for dirt on you also...

Congratulations mark. All the best for the fight. Few words of wisdom from someone who deosnt seem capable of it.

*Dont stretch the truth to see if you can get a better result
*Dont stoop to her level and ring her at home cause that can put a mark against your name.
*Dont try alter you bike to make the damage look worse
*If she phones, hang up, all can be dealt with in court cause this may well teach her a lesson. Next time it might be someone else who isnt so lucky
*Look for advice when you can and dont be afraid to say you dont know if you are not sure. Better saying that than making something up and forgetting what you said.

Best of luck dude

another point is, if she seriously thought it was your fault, why did she not seem to care about the large dent you just put in her car?

Good point..

Good on you Mark, you are doing everything right so far..

If you require insurance advise, im a qualified insurance broker and Grahameeboy is an underwriter.. Sometimes it helps to have someone in the industry who knows how to negociate (yell) at insurers effectively, plus its likely that i already deal with the insurer involved if she has one..

Let me know if i can help.

Cheers

Markauckland - Keep a record of when the woman rings your parents place. Plus keep a record of what she says to either you or your parents. She aint allowed to do that... that is called harressment.

Especially after the police had just spoken to her...

Let the police deal with it, plus your insurance company.

DO NOT ring her under any circumstances from now on.
If she rings several times, call Telecom's nuisance calls dept.You don't need to log the calls yourself,just approx times.Telecom will report it to the cops

will get back to you on that.....the cops have got to do an investigation into it...which i'm told by the officer whp helped my out at central last night it could take a while....

went and got a quote for the plastic welding required today....they will plastic weld all that needs doing......and prep and primer it for painting for $200 and to get the paint touched up where it has been welded( not the whole fairings just blending into the existing paintwork....)

add another $400 grand total $600+ gst ....then there is the fork straightening.....$112 including gst.....gotta find out price of new left h /bar....and windscreen........ and how much to get the dents knocked out of the tank.....

i hope this lady has a good insurer cus i aint gunna leave my bike to get fixed by some shitty insurance co work panelbeaters who will make my bike look worse when it comes out than when it goes in....so i got the above quote from a decent company and i aint going for any less quality because there were no cracks all over it before and i want it returned to same standard....


we will see what happens i guess

It will take a very long while and you don't have any guarantee of sucess given its going to be your word against hers. The fact she's denying any wrong doing even when spoken to by a cop isn't a good sign.

If she continues to deny it and it goes to court, its going to go before JP's. Unfortunately with no independent witnesses its going to be a rich middle aged woman with an expensive lawyer vs a young guy on a bike with only a overworked and underpaid police prosecutor on his side.

I would suggest you do as much groundwork as you can, photos of your bike, photos of her car, photos of the intersection and any skid marks. Any evidence you can think of, record.

Plastic welded??

That never works. They will need replacing. :niceone:

[skidMark]

good luck finding a perfect nick gpx headlight fairing ....bellypan.....and mudguard

[Sketchy_Racer]

not your prob.

Make it her insurance companys prob ;)

[Jsn]

Methinks you'll be needing new fibreglass / carbon-fibre fairings if they don't make regulars for your gpx :blip: :blip: you never know.. your bike might qualify as a writeoff and you might get a nice big payout :scooter:

[Sketchy_Racer]

Yep it may just be.

The FXR 150 bucket racer i bought was a write off.

It had a broken left side fairing and a broken mirrior.

That was enough to write it off!!

[skidMark]

i think they would give me almost nothing for it....certainly not enough to replace it....

[FROSTY]

might pay to read the whole thread frosty
Yea I read BOTH threads --his accident happened on (I Thought) 3.6.06 -turns out it was 2.6.06.
Yet the accident doesn't get reported till -TODAY.
I read all the lame excuses -OHH woe is me the cop shop is closed --yea like the whole NZ police force was closed from 3pm on 2.6.06 ??
Woe is me I'm scared my bike will get pinched from in front of central cop shop
A cop CANT refuse to take an accident report.
And so yet another fuckwit cager gets away with it.

[sil3nt]

didnt he report it last night not today?

[Grahameeboy]

Why? The requirement to report within 60 hours just applies a duty to the parties. Even if the time limit is exceeded that does not preclude the police from taking action (providing the statute of limitations period has not expired, but that is years) ; nor does it prevent Mark taking civil action against the other party.

[skidMark]

i went to report it they said i could not because i needed rego and to come back once i had a rego....which i did

and police are now taking action on her

believe me there is no way in hell i'm letting her get away with this mate

[Nutter34]

Going back to your original post, didn't you say there were 50-60 school girls who saw the whole thing?
HELLO! WITNESSES!

Fuck, you people are stupid.

[FROSTY]

What the fucks your problem Frosty. Pull your head in and give the guy a break. He's doing the best he can under the circumstances. He didnt know what to do and came here for advice and went and did it. At 10 oclock at night mind you. The police are dealing with it so unless you have some constructive advice instead of destructive criticism shut ya hole.
Read the origonal post--accident happened 3.00pm on FRIDAY.
He had time to post on here moaning yet no time to visit the cop shop and report it.
I know what happens next--without witnesses the woman will blame him.
Cops will say --well its a civil matter we have two conflicting stories-both plausable. Then He takes it to court and they say --yea the accident happened but both stories ring true--best case will be they say both parties sort out ya own damage.

Ohh and yea Im fucken grumpy

At least he did go and report it... And how are both sides plausible??? He hit the rear right hand side quater panel... Other than hitting the car due to changing lanes without looking (and you would see the car if it was that far infront of you, the other 3/4's of it) the only other way to do that is if she did a u-turn or pulled out of a side street/driveway. This means she was not giving way to her left and is at fault.

What Mark has to learn is to anticipate situations like this when riding on the road. He has done well by reporting it to the police, but now he has to analyse the crash to see how he could have avoided it (be it looking further infront, taking avoidence action or emergency braking)...

[Cibby]

Ohh and yea Im fucken grumpy



awwww

Whats wrong Frosty???


:grouphug: :grouphug: :p

[ajturbo]

What did you say to her.

If some silly bitch pulled infront of me and ran away, Fuck, She had better keep running

from what i herd... most women keep running from you any way:blah: :nya:

[skidMark]

the weird thing was it passed through my mind is this women gunna try it on then she looked dead at me so i knew she had seen me....but went for it anyway.

Ride like everybody is out to kill you.......because they are.

treat every other road user as an idiot.....because they usually are.

[Drum]

Her eyes saw you, but her brain didnt register you as a risk.

A feeble thing, the human mind.

[Sketchy_Racer]

Na Drum.

Its a Woman thing.

And this woman sounds like Thee Bitch of a Woman!

[Drum]

...............Its a Woman thing...........

Dont go there mate!
