    Biker/car crash, Remuera Rd 26/11

    I hope you are ok.

    The sheer incompetence of people continues to amaze me.

    Riding city bound on Remuera rd this morning in the (new) bus lane and just in front of me watched a Cage dive into our lane right in front of this poor bastard riding a scoot... no time to react. Bang, he hit the car and bounced down the road.

    Next part was unexpected... the car took off

    I stopped and asked the rider if he was ok... the language was colourfull so obviously he was not in imminent danger of swallowing his tongue.

    Ever wanted to do a car chase?

    I took off after this tosser behind a cage driver, they flew into one of the side streets where they slowed down enough for me to get in front and bring them to a halt.

    Adrenaline was flowing as this stage... half expecting a P crazed mongrel mob type to jump out with a crowbar...

    She was late thirties... could'nt speak much english... making some excuse that she didn't know she hit anyone.

    Yeah well, the side of the car was well bashed, broken wing mirror, trashed side panel FFS.

    Called 111. The cops finally turned up (20 mins lol). No doubt this will cost her plenty... maybe she ran cos she had no license, residency??

    Phew what a morning... and all before 7.30.

    Biker was ok apparently, usual grazes and bruises, cut hand. The Scoot would be well stuffed.

    Take care out there.
