Brain-dead people

So yesterday im riding along and the car in front of me rear-ends the car in front of him at a red light.. they then proceed to exchange details in the middle of the road blocking me and others from turning right. So i move left into the Straight through lane and wait behind a women in an SUV. sitting there happily all of a sudden the huckmole bitch reversed into my bike smashing the fairings and whipping my bars round so hard that it breaks the steering stop. Twists the forks in the clamps and the brake lever smashed the temp gauge. She pulled into the right hand turn lane and i pulled up beside her and she says "im sorry i didnt see you" (even though i could see her in her side mirror) So i told her she didnt even look then the light turned green and she took off. The nerve of people sometimes.. All is good, I got her easy to remember personalised plate and filled out an accident report at the police station before. Some people these days have next to no common sense, really annoying if you end up being affected by someone elses stupidity.

Glad you got her details, hope the insurance claim goes okay.

Its one thing to make a balls up but for her then to drive off is pretty inexcusable.

... but for her then to drive off is pretty inexcusable.

For her to drive off is not just inexcusable, it's actually criminal. She can be done for leaving the scene of an accident, or something like that.

i hope she doesn't say that you went into the back of her!

And done X 2 if you were injured.
You were injured, right?

[MIXONE]

Beware the ladies in the Fendalton Tractors.Sorry to hear mate and I hope you get a good result.

[Caladbolg]

Nah no injuries luckily... i just rolled backwards for a few metres. I'm quite proud of myself for not pulling her out of the car and doing a burnout on her face

[Livvy]

Don't say there weren't any injuries, you were deeply traumatised, remember? She should pay out for your now much needed counselling. But good to hear you're not really hurt and good luck for the insurance.

What a humungous bovine female!!! (Do you look scary or something!) Kidding.
Hope she gets the book flung at her for taking off like that. I admire your self control. I'd hate to have been on the receiving end of something like that - but I'd probably have shamelessly turned on the tears and made her feel worse.
I'm always really careful about how much distance I leave between me and car in front at any intersection to allow for tossers who seem to think that even rolling backwards is "inconsequential" to the person behind them.

Oh yeah, now i remember.. I cried for 3 hours straight and now im too scared to ride my bike, which is my only transport, so i need to be re-imbursed for loss of earnings + emotional damage + bike damage

[Livvy]

See, I knew you weren't okay.

Don't worry. On KB we're all family, don't be afraid of crying in front of us, we love you!

[Caladbolg]

Oh and im 5'8 and white... so real scary! she must have freaked abit after hitting a 'biker' i was in full leathers too

[Caladbolg]

hmmmmmm

[Livvy]

There there. It's okay. You should have a good case for getting her charged with SOMETHING... Not well versed enough in law to say what though, but it should be simple - especially if there were witnesses (which there probably are... go back to the area and maybe ask the houses nearby or shops?).

And gee, I'm a small skinny white chick myself, and I scare people

I don't really want her charged with anything as it was an accident albeit an easily avoidable accident. but she should have at least pulled up so we could exchange details etc. The people that crashed in front of me saw it and im wondering if they would have reported their accident so maybe i could track them down that way?

Ha you must have one mean attitude then!
