Default Bike crash last night

As above, happened outside my house.

Apparently a purple clio comes out fo a side road, forcing the biker to swerve onto the other side of the road, loses it into a parked car, clio drivs off

Old bill arrive (very quick ) and I tell them that the shop a hundred feet away has cctv camera (good ones) that would have picked up the crash, and the clio driving off so they could get the details.They didn't look interested and haven't been to the shop today

Meaning some mindles idiot has caused an accident and left the scene and gets away with it.

I'd buy an old rat of a capri, or similar, and find that clio and run it off the road.


I drive for a living and one thing I do respect is a biker, even when out in the cossie racing them round the back roads... of course... if they come off... it'll hurt a lot...

Justice needed

you should speak to the shop owner yourself about seeing the video and if you can see the details or the reg etc, take it to the police station.

I always make room for bikers, especially in traffic so they can get to the front, or move to the kurb when they want to get past, but...

Bikers can be idiots at times, taking chances and cutting you up, they are on a bike and want to cut tight in front of my car when racing past!!!

I had one instance that i am a little ashamed of looking back, i was approaching a set of red lights with some cars waiting, a biker decided to race up and try and get infront of me, no room without me slamming on, so i didn't and he had to either drop back or go to the head of the que.

He decided to sit next to my drives side wing, as the light change and we move over the lights he stays on my wing, trying to bully me in coming to a hault on the other side of the light behind some parked cars while he would be able to ride off

At this point i saw red and went for him, he saw i was going to move over and not stop and decided to take off, but if i am honest I wanted to knock him off his bike!

It was stupid of me and totally out of charicter, but the guy was a cock, he is on a bike, you don't try to rile someone up and force them off the road on a bike!! Bad enough in a car, but on 2 wheels you are going to come of worst.

Since then my cousin died over taking his mate on his bike on the wrong side of a country road doing over 80mph and hit a car head on and my mate fractured his neck in 3 places after a car pulled out on him.

Muska, been in, they are nice guys but suddenly speak broken English, so clearly don't want to get involved.

I know the camera work as he has talked to me about them before, explaining that it is to prove to the police that people are coming in to buy booze for kids outside, not hm selling it them!
