I'm deeply pissed off!

[Aitch]

I drive a truck sometimes. Today my boss came to me and asked if I could remember what I was doing on may 19. It turns out that someone has lodged a complaint with the police that a pedestrian was hit by a truck at our local Shell station, and the driver failed to stop.
I checked my log, and sure enough I was driving that truck at that time. The only thing is, I didn't hit any bloody pedestrian! I mean, you'd remember a thing like that.
Aaaaaanyway, now I gotta wait till monday to go see the local constabulary, to deny that I hit any pedestrian, and have you ever tried to prove that you DIDN'T do something??????????????
This is stress that I really don't need......

[Deano]

Did you stop at the Shell Station for any reason ?

Worse case scenario you may be able to use the servo's video as evidence, if it isn't erased already.

Good luck - maybe take a witness to the Police station too, just in case....

Just remember, in this country, you are GUILTY until you prove yourself innocent!!!!!
I had the Pleece question me recently [cause I own a white Prelude] over a recent murder here in CHCH, I felt accused,as though I had to prove that I didnt do it. All because I hade a car the same colour as the suspect!!!!! W T F????

[Aitch]

I stopped for diesel of all things! Do they keep the vids for 3 weeks?????

hey, good luck with the interview!

make sure you take someone with you!!! even if it is a fellow worker/wife/boyfriend.. someone that can listen to the questions and can help you if you get hot under the coller!!!
wish i had that at my work "interview"!.....

tell em that it wasn't you .. and who is going to pay you for not going to work?.. get them to come to your work!!!
really nice of the boss not to stand up for you ......

[Aitch]

What 's the usual penalty for failing to stop? Bearing in mind that I didn't hit any bloody pedestrian......

The boss was bloody good about it....he took my word that I didn't run anyone down.

Could you have nudged someone as you left without noticing ?

(You think the pedestrian would have seen you though.)

Perhaps it's an American tourist who thinks they could sue for millions.

I drive a truck that's over 4m high and about 9 m long overall, and it's GREEN! Even Stevie Wonder couldn't miss it! Hey, I suppose it's possible , but I didn't see anyone anywhere near the truck....

GSs rule the earth..my boyfriend told me so!

[StoneChucker]

Tough break, that would stress me out too. I doubt that you would have and not noticed. Somone would have shouted for you to stop. Maybe you slightly nudged someone, and they got all shitty about it and made a big deal?

Best of luck.
Dave.

PS: As we discussed, I'll be over in the morning to help you cut up the body

[enigma51]

Dont worry too much about it for know (Easier said than done I know) It is possible that you hit someone without knowing but as long as you stick with your story then you should be fine accidents happen. Good luck anyway

I've been involved in two similar instances in my life where a pedestrian was hit by a vehicle and the driver was totally oblivious to it until days later when he was informed. It happens and it's accidental!

All that said, I still hope it wasn't you Aitch. Hope it gets sorted out quickly for ya.
