Hey Peeps

Today I got smacked in my car by a hit and run driver !

I was totally not in the wrong at all ! i was at a round about 3 lanes i was in the left hand lane turning left man in a white van sped past and smacked me in the side at about 40mph. where my wheel was turned abit left to turn left his hit me by the wheel not done much damage to the body work just scratch wing mirror bumper alloy. but he shunted me so hard my car landed on the kurb. I smacked my head so hard on the driver window that it almost knocked me out. i sat with my head in my hands coz i was really dizzy and shaking un controllabley. the man opened my door and was like u ok u ok so i got out and staggered resting on my car coz i thought i was gona pass out i couldnt talk properly coz i was really dizzy he then went oh your cars ok only a scratch then went u ok i said think so then he ran back to his van and sped off gave me no details and left me shaking in my car.

Only Description i got is that it was a white transit van, with a blue s surrounded by a circle, the top half of the circle is light blue bottom half dark blue Ring any bells ??

i gotta go to the police station to report it but seems like my front suspension is f**k or my steering rack !

He just left me sitting there ! but because i was so dizzy i could hardley see anything and couldnt see his no plate or the company on the van !

Im so f**k off my cars now f**k and im out of pocket if that van description does ring a bell id be very grateful for any info im so pissed i couldnt see nothing

It was on the dual carrage way coming from the twin lakes at felmores heading towards pitsea, i was in the left had lane to turn left towards the back route to go to tescos the part where it brings you out by the school opposite tescos at pitsea, you could go forward to go over pitsea flyova above tescos or right to go to barstable.

So pissed off and got a head ache !!

I can't believe someone would do that and just leave you on the side of the road after shunting you at 40mph! Absolutely despicable


Best thing you can do is report it to police and maybe they can put an appeal for any witnesses. Hopefully your memory twigs at what van company it is.

First off have you thought about going to the hospital? If you had a blow on the head like that which made you feel dizzy you must have had a fair old impact. The hospital can record your injuries so if you catch this scum bag you can put a personal injury claim in against him.

Secondly, get the accident reported within 24hrs. If an injury has occured then they should investigate it. Let them know what route you took as they may look into CCTV to try and capture the reg of the vehicle. Also write down a description of the driver if you can remember.

Hope you get your car and head sorted

I must admit, I think I almost got a semi at the thought of you being semi-dazed and bending over your bonnet

Exactly!!! Plus turning up on foot at a police station id love to see how they can legally enforce a producer!!????? If your with your vehicle they can ask ypu to prove its legally on road but at a police station???!!???

If someone was driving illegally and went into a station then surely theyd just retract the report or say it was on a "private" road!! The cops would have a hard time proving illegal driving based on a verbal report!!!

So the only people the 7 day wonder effects in this case is the innocent public who are inconvienienced!!! Why the fuck cant the knobhead cops check the databases and then, only then demand a producer IF discrepancies occur!!!
