Hit And Run

[Steve]

Was at the petrol station putting air in my tyres. Some ford galaxy came reversing straight at me at speed, just missed my head luckly move, smashed into the side of my car, then sped off, nearlly hitting another women getting petrol.

Took her details like, stupid cow.

She drove out the wrong way of the petrol station through the pumps nearly hitting all other cars.......

Got a witness aswel and her details.
Guy at the petrol station was a dick... said they dont keep CCTV for more than 24 hours.

Rang the police aswel....

Door wont open properly and a scuff on my arch....

Fucking gutted and annoyed but luckly she didnt crush my head :(

[Peejous]

WTF?!

What you mean they don't keep CCTV, surely it was done there and then?

[Steve]

WTF?!

What you mean they don't keep CCTV, surely it was done there and then?

guy was a nob saying she wouldnt be on cctv, i said she fucking will shes just put petrol in, turned around, hit my car then drove back through the pumps.......

[-Jason-]

Garage should have the CCTV if the delete it then the police will deal with them ;)

Hope the car gets sorted

[Steve]

proper pissed off.... what a fucking slag.

[Liam]

Get the head office phone number. My dads mate had this problem, he had to go to head office. Give them a call. They wont say no if you tell them the police are involved. And they will keep it longer than 24hours.

EDIT : Although, he didnt have as big of a problem. Its was a broken mirror, but you get the point!

[steviee90]

yeah mate, theres some law about if you are being filmed, you have the right to view the tape when you ask to see it

[Peejous]

If you are on the CCTV camera's data protection act says you can have a copy.

If they wont release the tapes, go to your nearest police station report the incident and let them know about the CCTV and say its all on there.

Garage HAVE to release the tapes to the police / show the footage or they are breaking the law.

http://www.saxperience.com/forum/images/buttons/edit.gif Also minimum time they can keep tapes is 31 days / 1 month.

Not 24 hours

[phillyh]

Guys chatting utter sweaty balls about the CCTV.
If she drove through the pumps they'll have her on CCTV 110%


I work in a shop and we keep our cctv recordings on the internal HD of the
system for 14 days. Sometimes police obviously cant make it 24 hours after
a crime etc.

So its certain they keep it for at LEAST 7-14 days iirc.

[Steve]

spoke to garage, told them the police are involved AGAIN said they will happily let the police view the tapes.

Cant believe she didnt stop. Nearly ran a women over (dawn ;)) aswel getting out the car,

[Steve]

got to wait till 11pm tonight for the police to come to mine to take a statement :(

[Barry123]

nightmare ste, what a bugger. how's the damage? why the fuck was she driving like a lunatic?

[Peejous]

spoke to garage, told them the police are involved AGAIN said they will happily let the police view the tapes.

Cant believe she didnt stop. Nearly ran a women over (dawn ;)) aswel getting out the car,

The reason they can't let you view them is because it has other people on as well.

When / if you get a copy all other peoples plates / faces will be edited out like a channel 5 porno.

[Barry123]

you got her reg number yeah?

[phillyh]

I bet they turn up at half 10, lol.
At least its getting sorted though dude!

Good luck

[JamieLee2k]

The should keep film for about 48 hour normally, Yeah just talk to the police

[Chris_87]

i'd be blowing the cobwebs off the olde sawn off...... gutted for you mate, hopefully the english legal system will do right for once and kick her butt to the kerb...

[Peejous]

Are these laws or guidelines?
http://www.met.police.uk/crimeprevention/cctv.htm

There are a few simple rules to ensure that CCTV is not rendered useless:

1. Change tapes daily
2. Use them no more than 12 times
3. Keep tapes for at least a month
4. Use good quality tapes and check them by playing them on a different machine
5. Ensure that the picture is clear - it needs to be clear enough to identify people and vehicles
6. Check that the time and date displays are correct
7. Check that the picture is covering the right area
8. Make sure there is enough light for the camera to give a proper picture

[JamesR]

Surely they must have to keep the CCTV? and if it had only just happened how didnt they have it?

Get her number plate?

[Peejous]

Some more info for you mate:

wasn't sure what happens when an uninsured driver smacks into someone :ponder: I thought they got a telling off and told to pay about 5p's worth of damage to the victim per week or something

[Steve]

hahaha... she's going to the cleaners... how the fuggle did she think she think she could speed off and get away with it.

o fuk... bet she aint insured. o man not good ste

even if she isnt insured, she will be paying....

even if its not money, and her loosing her license for dangerous driving that will do me.


One way or another she will be fixing it...
Never know with a saxo probably be a write off at the slightest ding.

[Barry123]

even if she isnt insured, she will be paying....

seriously man I hope she gets a good seeing to for this... I can't understand the mentality of some people. Keep us updated y0

[Steve]

will do.

Honestly when she hit it, first thing i did was get her reg.
Then i thought she was going to stop again at the pump, then fucking wheel span it off...

She will end up killing someone imo.

[Steve]

[leeroybrown]

[betty02]

Jesusssss Ste you ok? Dippy woman she wont get away with it tbh!

[Liam_]

I can't see how she's gonna worm her way out - damage on her car will indicate she hits yours, tapes at the garage etc. Hook, line and sinker. :p

[CampDavid]

Hit and Run, that'll hurt her badly, both with points and a ban, as well aas insurance.

Going through your insurance shouldn't be a problem, it'll all come off as her fault and they'll claim all costs through her insurance.

Be sure to put in for any out of pocket expences and take legal advice on what you can actually get out of her on a personal level,

[Peejous]

If she has insurance....

2nd that

[Steve]

UPDATE

Just made a statement to the police.

The car is a rental car, she had just dropped the car off when they seen her but let her go.
There is a fair bit of damage to the galaxy, all the rear bumper is buggered.
The rental garage is just round the corner from the petrol station aswel.

Didnt realise but my arch is scratched and actually bent thats why the door is catching (think the inner arch is bent aswel), and front bumper scuffed, the garage are contacting me this afternoon to book my car in and they are repairing it all and not going via insurance.

Police are now en route to petrol station for CCTV and going to hers to get a statement from her.

All in all apart from still feeling a bit shaken as she could have hit me, seems like my car will get sorted and so will she.

[Peejous]

Good work mate.

Least yours is been fixed with nothing affecting your insurance etc. :y:

Pics of police? No? Ok then...

[RobVT]

I hope she gets royally raped for it.

[Steve]

Good work mate.

Least yours is been fixed with nothing affecting your insurance etc. :y:

We have some nice cars here.

MD's here have an A8 quattro, other a one of those massive amg mercs, the other a posh jag, next door, ferrari f430, other next door there is a GT2, cararra, gt3 and another porche, then there is m3's and some other smart white bmw's lol plenty of x5s and the big 4x4 porche, then my saxo :D

[RobVT]

[Steve]

[Steve]

Effect your sex life
You are scared to drive
Any personal expense

If she keeps denying it she will prob have her licence removed for even longer, rather than just admitting she hit you and drove off in panic.

At least alls sorted now old boy

[Bickerton]

Love how she still pleading ignorance, i must say the sound of one car hitting another is one of the worst noises goin (in the car)

[RichM]

[Weathers]

'Guy at the petrol station was a dick... said they dont keep CCTV for more than 24 hours.'

They love to lie! Probably be to much hassle for him to look through the tapes
