Hit & Run

[tintin22]

This morning ~ 6am. My Dad & I were hit by a car. Luckily, Not serious. But the events were as follows:

 

In Durban, Essenwood road.

An oncoming old white Toyota Camry sped up, did a U turn right in front of us and then slammed on brakes.

My Dad went into the back & I bounced off the side.  Stopped in front of his car to assess any damage & injuries. SHouted at him to "wake up" and ask him "what ARE you doing". At this point he revved his car and started straight for us. I thought he was going to hit us now standing on the side of the road. He wound down the window and started screaming " F@#$ you F@#$ off " and sped off.

 

The number plate is NPN 49702

And he appeared to drop someone off in Essenwood Road.

 

I would like to take this further and make an example if possible as this pig headedness cannot be tolerated.

I am making statement at the police station later.  

I am also doing a name & shame campaign next week.

 

Would be much appreciated if anyone has legal advise on my/ cyclists  rights??

You have reg number. Go straight to cops, open case, get SC contact details and hound him till something gets done.

Probably a false number plate (I hope not!!!)

 

Glad to hear you ok, but yes take it further!!!

I'm sorry to hear about this. Just terrible. If I rode a road bike much my training partner would either be Mr Glock or Messers Smith and Wesson.

Phone it in to the "report bad driving" line. 0861 400 800. Chances are he's a habitual reckless driver so the more times he gets reported the better.
