Hit & Run - Parklands

[TNT1]

 

I've only really noticed that people driving in Cape town have problems with using circles. Jhb/Pta (where I'm originally from) is fine' date=' the circles flow well and people unserstand the concept of first come/right of way etc.

WTF? Either I'm in the wrong part of JHB, or not stoned enough...

When did this happen? I feel like an absolute noonoo...............I'm still using the redundant give way to your right concept.

 

Sheesh, I'm mostly tempted to give up on that and gas the honda-zooki straight over the middle of the circles...

so my saturday started off at 5am as usual and left home around 5.30 to the southern suburbs....wind and all' date=' it was a good ride and i was feeling great, even taking some pics of simonstown from redhill...anyway, 135kms later and i'm 2km from home in parklands and i cross one of the two circles in the area....BAM!!! i get taken out by an idiot who did not yield or stop when entering the circle from my left. he then proceeded to speed away, but not before i got his registration

 

i am so lucky that he more hit my rear wheel and frame, but my left leg also took a hit. needless to say i went flying but am thankful that i could walk away from the incident relatively ok

 

now i have no bike, and my 1st attempt at the DC seems gone with the wind

i'm all drugged up now, but with the pain i am in, i think i'm out. and of course tomorrow morning i'll feel even worse!

 

the car was a red Ford Sierra with licence plate VKJ268NC. i did not get a look at the occupants

i am pretty sure i got the plate right, but am not sure about the NC part. a witness said it was nothern cape plates...do u get NC plates? i thought i saw EC though

 

so if anyone in my areas spots this car please let me know...it's a long shot but worth a try

[/quote'] I doubt whether it is an EC registration as we have only just reached the F's a short while ago. Unless it is a personalised plate but this also doesnt seem likely.
