plane^driver Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 So I was the victim of a hit a run this morning. It happened on Bonaero drive next to the airport around 6:30. Guy in a bakkie came up behind us, he hooted so I moved over, as he came passed he swerved towars us and hit me with the loadbin knocking me down! I just missed his mirror and he kept moving over so it was deliberate that he was trying to prove a point or something. Luckily for me a lady stopped, she was pulling out of her driveway across the road and saw the branding on the vehicle! The company in question has been very helpful and has found the vehicle via there tracking device and given me the reg and drivers name. Criminal case has been laid and ive consulted a lawyer who will be taking things further. Grazed knee, elbow and badly bruised right hip with strained muscles in the groin area and before you ask the bike is ok! A couple of scrathes but not major. We both live to ride another day!
HappyMartin Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 Glad you are OK. Well done on following up and laying charges. Keep us posted here if that's possible.
BDF Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 Thanks for sharing this. And because you started the topic now you will need to give regular updates. The hub is all ears..
Bateleur1 Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 First of all glad you live to tell the story. Second Kudos to the lady who gave you details to the Bakkie. Third kudos for laying a charge. I hope you laid a charge of attemped murder and assault. I am sure the lawyer would advise. Hope we would be able to follow the case and see what happens with it.
Allrounder Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 Glad you are okay. before sharing anything, check that you will not hurt your own case. As for the company well done for giving you that details.
Allrounder Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 I disagree. No need to name and shame the company. They did all that they needed to at this stage. If they refused to give info it would have been another story.
MTBeer Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 Name and Shame.what's the point of naming the company? He said that they have been very helpful after the incident. Can't blame them if one of their drivers acted like a chop.
Allrounder Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 Would love to know the details as it becomes available.....
Lexx Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 what's the point of naming the company? He said that they have been very helpful after the incident. Can't blame them if one of their drivers acted like a chop.Talking About the driver, not the company!
HappyMartin Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 I think you should name the company. They deserve praise for helping track the vehicle and name the driver. Well done to them.
Allrounder Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 Talking About the driver, not the company!AAAA okay then. My apologies.
