Wyatt Earp Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 I'm am calm, lolI think you should calm down, don't you think? :-)How can it be a hit & run if she returned to the scene to check if all is ok then immediately reported it to SAPS? She probably left the scene as she maybe felt threatened, I don't know, but it's a possiblity? I am calm, which reflects back on my logical thinking.Returning is also not an excuse, she hit and run in the first place, became over ridden with guilt and then returned, by doing she also failed miserably by offering to stay with the victim till some help arrived . Also where was it mentioned that she went to the SAPS immediately.Now lets also entertain her feeling threatened. M'am, you hit the ivtim with your vehicle, drove off and came back. "Yes, I wanted to see if he was OK but he threatened me" I am not really interested in that as we all know that one action results in a knock on effect, what we are interested in is why you bumped him in the first place and why you drove off initially ?
Skubarra Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 only 1m was passed not the 1,5m we were hoping for. Sorry if this is a stupid question milky but if there was a 1m gap when she passed how did they connect?

She probably left the scene as she maybe felt threatened, I don't know, but it's a possiblity?This might be semantics but... wouldn't the fact that she ...returned... to the scene. Imply she had not stayed there in the first place (which we already actually know) thereby making it a hit and run. I'm not sure of the laws etc. but I'm fairly certain returning to the scene of an accident later doesn't change much?Hearing another side may help sure, but I get the feeling it won't be entirely accurate..
GerrieTruter Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 only 1m was passed not the 1,5m we were hoping for.Ok, thanks for the information.
Wyatt Earp Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Sorry if this is a stupid question milky but if there was a 1m gap when she passed how did they connect? Skub's, I say we blame the cyclist on that one.Why the heck was he not tucked in to the gutter ............

Doesn't add up to a responsible and reasonable driver to me
Wyatt Earp Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 have you been or seen this road before? you can't just exactly stop in your tracks & pull off to the side, hence I'm assuming she made a U turn & came back OP doesnt state how long before she returned.She reported the accident the same day. But not immediately.And she still failed to wait for the police to arrive.Now let's look at the picture on the opening thread, quite a bit of space to stop a vehicle point #1Point # 2 me being a logical and half decent human being would have slammed on brakes, turned on my hazards and I would have bolted away from my iron bucket towards the vulnerable cyclists I just hit with that sam iron bucket. Then we have a great summary here and to top it all, a kid in the back seats.

Didn't ask the question to stir the hornets nest even more.

Skub's, I say we blame the cyclist on that one.Why the heck was he not tucked in to the gutter ............ How about sharing the other version with us milky?sorry guys for now I'm going to keep quite on that bit as I don't want to divulge any info & potentially ruining the OP's case against the driver, all you need to know is her version is different to the OP's.
Wyatt Earp Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 sorry guys for now I'm going to keep quite on that bit as I don't want to divulge any info & potentially ruining the OP's case against the driver, all you need to know is her version is different to the OP's. The OP's case couldn't be more clear cut, unless this is a lady friend of yours ? Edited. Even if he was riding in the middle of the lane.
Mousea Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 only 1m was passed not the 1,5m we were hoping for.Going to be hard to Police.The traffic guys cant get the basics rite
'Dale Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Hub Court in recess with this post. RECESS OVER back to proceedings
milky4130 Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 The OP's case couldn't be more clear cut, unless this is a lady friend of yours ?not at all ,loljust trying to defend that IMO it wasn't a hit & run, as i stated before after reading her report the OP has good case against her.
milky4130 Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Doing to be hard to Police.The traffic guys cant get the basics ritesadly it will only be "policed" once incidents like this occur, if it gets to court & make news headlines.
Jester6 Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 not at all ,loljust trying to defend that IMO it wasn't a hit & run, as i stated before after reading her report the OP has good case against her.Just for interests sake. The basic definition of a hit and run is where the owner or driver of the guilty motor vehicle is unknown and needs to be sought out. So her returning in this instance doesn't really change the hit and run part. It doesn't literally mean ...SLAM CRUNCH. OH #&$@ Screeching tyre noises... but it would apply in that situation too
