Hit And Run

[Hawk13]

So sorry to read this.

Fingers crossed the driver gets what he / she deserves.

 

[Gogs253]

Jeez, that's awful. I hope you recover quickly. I have zero tolerance towards hit and run drivers. We sometimes think that these things happen to other people but as you've shown, it can happen to any of us at any time.

 

[Phil H]

Sorry to hear that Dave, good luck with the recovery.

 

[safrane]

Swift recovery Dave.

 

[philw696]

Just reading through this and with the others totally shocked.
All the Best from France mate.
No truth in the rumour that you had bought an electric car then

 

[c4sman]

Don’t know how one human can drive away knowing someone else is hurt. Shocking and wishing you a full recovery as soon as possible. All the best

 

[lifes2short]

good to hear you're still alive and kicking, hope the bar steward gets a long stretch and all the best with recovery

 

[Tallman]

Terrible story, all the best for the no doubt bumpy road back to normal life - Hope you have good pain meds!

 

[BennyD]

Get well soon mate, all the best.

 

[P5Nij]

Bloody awful thing to happen, best of luck Dave with your recovery and let's hope the shitbag has the book well and truly thrown at him / her.

That quite a worrying number , with all the technology they have today how can 4% still be driving about uninsured, you'd think ANPR would pick them up easily enough

 

[Geo]

I’ve just read this Dave and glad you’re on the mend. Boils my **** this sort of thing, if they find the cretin that did it he/she should be locked up and the key thrown away!

It is not difficult, a large proportion of them will believe they are insured but may well be driving on an expired licence or with a reportable medical condition or incorrect declarations made to their insurers etc.

Others will be the scumbags driving cars they 'bought off a guy in the pub' (probably knowing it was nicked but making that declaration when caught means they don't get done for handling stolen goods!) for a few quid and will never have a license to loose anyway.

Still more will be on foreign plates but over here for more than the permitted time.

 

[Guy]

Wishing you a speedy and full recovery. I wonder if the driver was texting or on social media at the time. Far too prevalent in my opinion.

 

[Evo Cymru]

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

 

[azapa]

A fast recovery to you sir!
as for the tw4t that did that and left, I hope karma repays with interest.

Just heard from the police the vehicle involved was fully legal... does make you wonder why the driver didn't stop
Apparently the car has now been impounded for forensic tests, the police had already taken all my clothes, shoes etc while I was still in hospital

Dave

 

[philw696]

Just can't understand why the driver didn't stop he must have known he had hit you.
Let's hope it all gets dealt with swiftly and you get back to full health mate.

Dave

If he was drunk, he might have thought it better to risk a 'falling to stop' (up to 6 months in jail) than taking a certain 'driving over the limit' (and maybe a risk of 'causing death by dangerous driving').

Probably just guilty panic.

Sorry to hear about your injuries.

 

[SteveM]

So shocked to read this and to one of our community as well. Hopefully you are on the road to recovery now and every new day is better than the last.
