Police on my side for once.

[Lilreg999]

I had a small bump with another car today, was coming upto a junction where the 2 roads merge, and was watching in the mirror, A bmw flashed me out, so i pulled out then all of a suden bang, a Micra had gone from the far lane into myne as i was pulling out, i was only doing 5/10mph. I pulled in as did the other driver. I got out and admited full liability for it as i wasnt looking infront as i pulled out. The passenger of the micra got out and started moaning at me, i kept calm and admited it was my fault and i went to speak to the driver to swap details, i went to his window and tapped it, he wouldnt look at me, put the window down or anything, the passenger was like he dont speak english etc. I went "look love i need to speak to the driver of the car not you" she said

"my car my car my details, my insurance" which then led me to think he was driving un-insured. So i called the police as i wasnt going to hand documents over, when they turned up explained it all to them. They said not to worry at to go on my way. So i did so.
leaving them to deal the other vehicle. So he must have been un-insured driving his wifes car

Bit of an essay, but am so glad they sided with me for once

[xtt63]

lol your lucky fucker

[Lilreg999]

I know yeah. I could of put my hands up and swapped details with passenger. But as soon as driver refused to co-opertate i knew something wasnt right.
So i called police. I was tempted to just do 1 and leave them there. But thought if they call police ill get done for leaving scene of accident

Bloody hell. this one gets loads of punishment. Pulling heavy weight constantly. in the winter has to deal with country lanes. (steep hills) never had a problem with it. well only the front brakes. Has had 3 sets in 18 months. Discs kept warping.

[2K7-JWA-2K7]

Lol it was up in oban so in the middle of nowere no cameras a tried to get the police to come out but they said a wasn't obstructing a road or damage a lampost or fence so they didn't need to be involved was well raging a day after a got 1 years no claims :(

[Lilreg999]

Police can be cocks most the time, I fed up of being moaned at, or they tail me for few miles... does my head in...

I think they just run the plates through to check its legal hence why they follow me. But its damn annoying

[2K7-JWA-2K7]

Ye a always get followed got pulled 2 nights in a row after work because my number plate light was out was waiting for the wire then had to get it stamped and sent to prove a fixed it :( and then me and ma pal we're at the petrol station I was putting air in my tyres and they searched the car and breathalised me just for the sake of it then the guy told me it was him that tried to do me for careless driving (speeding) and the case got dropped :) so he was bitter the other copper dint give a f*ck :)

[Rudpud]

Still dislike feds...

At least taht maybe another illegal deported?

[Lilreg999]

Theres a few cops by me me and my family know on friendly terms, they dont give 2 shits.
But then you have the arses...
I have very bright LED gauges and i have 3 gauges on pillar pod. they pulled me saying i was on my phone. my word against theres.. but i won anyway.
My cousin has even been asked to pop his bonnet

[KINGVTS]

you should never admit liability even if it is your fault

[Lilreg999]

you should never admit liability even if it is your fault

whys that then lol?

[Rudpud]

Your an extremely honest guy

[D_Coombsy]

Your dads car eh?
U insured on it? Or Was you trying to hand over your dads documents

[Paul]

whys that then lol?

Because you're not qualified to determind whos fault it is.

Honestly, never accept responsibility at a scene of an accident, just pass on the details of your insurance, tell your insurance what has happened, let them decide. Also get contact details of any witnessess (preferably independant ones).

[2K7-JWA-2K7]

that's a funny one pulling you for yer pod gauges saying its a phone. Police are mental lol
