Guest Smimby Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 I'm guessing you didn't have a phone/camera on you whilst riding, and took the shot from the road later. I applaud you for not just shaking your head and letting it go, it is a sad state that this behaviour is not unusual. I'm thinking that despite the general feeling of tow trucking industry, there has to be some with higher moral standards than the rest. Maybe taking the story to the company in case is going to be the best bang for buck in terms of protesting.http://www.dals.co.za/about-us.htmlDals Motors was founded by Mr Dal Gill in 1963. Starting with fifteen employees, Dals Motors, grew into a success story up until the mid-nineties. As Mr Dal Gill went into retirement, the company was bought over by Mr Tommy Nel and family, which is now known as DMG- Dals Motor Group. At present moment DMG has an employment rate of a hundred and thirty staff members. DMG has grown into three branches, consisting of 7200sqm workspace, with another branch opening mid 2011 in the Southern Suburbs, consisting of 4000sqm. DMG- Southern Suburbs will be exclusively a Mercedes Approved Auto body repairer. they're on tweetbook too.http://twitter.com/DMGMotorhttp://www.facebook....218536004840073 The picture is from Google earth...... :-) MTBc 1

Gomario Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 In South Africa it is standard procedure for a drunk driver to IMMEDIATELY leave the accident scene at ALL COSTS! I am a cop with 20+ years experience and in the last 10 or so years this phenomenon is sadly very very common. It is much much cheaper for the driver to act this way.
Cassie Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Whish I knew how to do this.... Maybe a trial by social media??? perhaps not a bad idea to post your observations & facts on the FB page of the tow truck company...dunno how /what effect that will have though...

Cellar Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Whish I knew how to do this.... PM me the relevant details, I can get it to the people in charge of claims at M&F if you like. Steven Knoetze (sk27), Rata Del Spruit and DIPSLICK 3

Send a message to the big insurance companies with the number plate info..Teach the prick a lesson. Insurance has no way of proving he was drunk. Would be his, the mates and the tow truck drivers word against the cyclist. The horse has bolted on this one unfortunately! Steven Knoetze (sk27) 1
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 I love the way everybody rallies around this cause.We need to get these guys off the road. If somebody had been walking or cycling at the time it would have ended with a death yet because it was only a fence and shrubs damaged it's fine. Shocking!!!Get hold of the owner of DALS, describe the driver and have ameeting with you 3 parties and have him reprimanded bu the boss.Then start sending the reg number to the various insurances.Well done on taking this further.

Tumbleweed Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Insurance has no way of proving he was drunk. Would be his, the mates and the tow truck drivers word against the cyclist. The horse has bolted on this one unfortunately! Not necessarily. They could get a court order to force a tracking company to disclose his whereabouts leading up to the accident, for instance. I was speaking to the owner of my local Keg the other day. He was dealing with an insurance investigator who wanted to see a claimant's bar bill that he rang up prior to him leaving the pub, and any CCTV footage. Cellar, Steven Knoetze (sk27) and Hairy 3

The horse has bolted on this one unfortunately! Still wouldn't hurt to get the insurance claims adjuster to dig into every little detail of this guy's life, and make it as hard as possible for him before they pay out. With the amount of fraud in the industry currently, they will look for just about any reason to repudiate a claim. Just give them a reason to dig deeper. Hairy 1

Still need blood and/or breathaliser (spelling?) - that is what they are there for. Any lawyer worth his salt would get this clown off, he could simply say he was buying his choms drinks. That combined with his testamony and his mates and the truck driver etc would make it very hard for insurance to repudiate claim. That said they do not like paying out so there is a chance of them making his life painful as they pay legal retainers so no skin off their nose by taking it to court to try their luck (bar clown's legal fees should he win).
