Aitch, I can't believe that it is on the site, my ex neighbour was hit by a truck at the Shell Station in Takanini, (not saying this is you).Of course now that I see this post I think surely not on the KB this vary incident, she reported it to the police that day, she had the bruises to prove that something hit her, if this was you then I know from driving trucks and limited visibility sometimes you would not of known, she is a pretty good person and could not see her making this up as her husband was there and saw it as well. I think the dates actually stack up to when you said.
If this is you I know its probably not want you wanted to hear but just had to let you know.

I agree thats fine in a perfect world but go for CYA.
"COVER YOUR ARSE"
Like earlier threads say, take someone with you, preferably someone intelligent cause they will stick it to you if they want to and if you get emotional you cannot help yourself.
Did you read the latest Kiwi Rider where the editor got dobbed in by another driver and they can choose to prosocute him if they want to. Like said earlier. You are Guilty until you prove you are innocent (usaually at some cost to the defendent)
Be careful

They asked for a written statement...so I wrote to them and told them the truth..that I have no knowledge of any incident, and that I would havestopped and helped any pedestrian I did hit if I had hit one!
waiting again

Finally got a response from the cops. They have viewed the video of the incident, and there is no conclusive evidence that I hit the lady. So I was advised to review my driving practice when driving in and out of petrol stations.
End of story.
So, now i can relax and forget about the whole thing.

Thanks to all those who gace me advice and moral support.

Trucks have good visability but your often distracted when checking your mirrors for traffic on your right hand side as you prepare to get back onto the road, putting your log book away, giving stick to someone going past on the radio, eating your pie, getting a handjob from a hitchhiker, yawning, pikcing your nose, changing charlie pride tapes over, adjusting the aircon, puting the receipt and shell card away etc
I know if I hit a woman a glancing hit in the trucks I used to drive I wouldnt know it unless I saw it, and i know that no drivers can keep full, undivided concentration on all fields of view 100% of the time. Its just not possible.
I hope your okay and that she isnt to badly hurt.
