jeebowhite Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Thanks again guys and ye couldn't agree more with Kurt except one point, I don't feel safer, I just feel slightly more confident that if it happens I will be better covered as to prove my innocence... With any fortune his black box will nail him, he's insured by a box company, if they get his speed at the time, they may prove he was driving without due care and may result in a police visit. Sadly I don't feel this incident was an accident, I feel it was more an idiot damaging a car through bad driving at best 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixmasterlooney Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Thinking about it that is some seriously dangerous driving, what if someone was leaving the same exist as James with a child? Or a cyclist? They would have been killed by the impact. Truly dangerous driving Thankfully he didn't smash into your driver side door that would have been so nasty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil 87 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 How??? Did the driver of that horrific Corsa go into a jealous rage at the sight of a good car, and decide to ram it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixmasterlooney Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I can only wish lol but if a corsa wrecked my Julia it would be on the same level of a corsa wrecking an Aston 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianb Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Video should be working now hopefully... And yeah Cheers matey I don't see how I could have been at fault. You're at fault because his piece of s**t should have ended up head on into the wall, you blocked it!! Not been a very good day for me either, not car related, but it wouldn't surprise me if the half wit drove a !Removed! vauxhall... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Well, I just reviewed the footage again. The pratt was saying how he was driving quick because there was a car behind him, sadly I watch the video and shock horror, there is no car behind him, no car passes my camera in his direction of travel after the accident.... Im glad I didnt want it back then, I would have thumped him 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As such I apologise to you all for not allowing him to go careering off the roads! :p 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marks12 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Hope u and the missus are OK bud specially worse when its a corsa Ian's right that wall had that corsas name written all over it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Sadly dont I know it! Thankfully the Mrs is uninjured, not so much my fortune. I was beginning to wonder how the pain could have come about, and having watched the video, he has actually hit me so hard he has moved my car slightly across (the camera jolts and you can see a shift in the direction of view!). I wont be going into work tomorrow, will be going the police station, I am just writing up my statement and its all coming back to me! so many details. I was waiting and indicating for 8 seconds before the crash, he didnt come down the road until about 3 seconds after I started, and about 5 seconds later he hit me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you're right, I just watched the video again and it's very clear your car shifted from the impact. Easiest way to see is to put your cursor over something like part of the wall ahead, and you can see how much the car moved. That must have been a real jolt. What's more, you have the time and date, plus the number plates of several drivers who (hopefully) witnessed it. I say press charges and take it as far as you can - the longer he's off the road the less chance he'll kill someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Sadly I can only get the plate of the mondeo, after a few combinations I tracked it via the is the car taxed system. The others are not clear enough sadly, but it's a start. Sadly the date is one day out I still don't appear to ha e changed it (I kept forgetting) but it's clear from everything that it was today... Sadly there appeared to be no skid marks from my tyres moving that I saw anyway... I agree though the police need to be involved now if nothing else they need a chance to determine if they should follow a prosecution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanW Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Jeeez!! Ever thought about giving up driving? Don't seem to be having much luck with it!! Glad to see that (on the whole) you're both ok! Take it easy and hope you nail the bast...git! Not managed to watch the video yet (not loading on my phone) How??? Did the driver of that horrific Corsa go into a jealous rage at the sight of a good car, and decide to ram it? Noo...isn't it obvious?The Corsa driver must be blind!!

AdeMk1 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Christ James, if you didnt have bad luck you'd have no luck at all lately! Glad you and the Mrs are ok though, thankfully you had the camera to dispel his lies to the police and insurance. You should buy a Helicopter next ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianb Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 James I wouldn't consider giving up driving... Just stop being stationary Sent via carrier pigeon using Ford OC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 Haha ade a mate of mine is a glider instructor, I momentarily considered this as a hobby lol and Ian, that's exactly what my wife said, although I'm not sure what the police would say about running all red lights or speeding out of corners lol would be awesome trying to explain there's more collision risk being stationary than if I'm doing anything from 10 to 120 through the red light lol Well I'm laid in bed just woke up and surely enough with all hangovers the day after is worse, back, neck, shoulders all done for. I suspect if you left turn grand by my bed free to take if got within 4 minutes I wouldn't get out and claim it on time 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I'll have to watch the vid next time I'm at a PC as my phone doesn't seem to like it. Really feel for you mate, the cmax, the joy ride and now this.... A corsa driver too. Glad you and the Mrs are OK and hopefully it won't be too long before you get your car back on the road.

alexp999 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Yeah just saw your post, we must have been writing around the same time. If the hospital gave you the all clear, hopefully it is just aches and pains which will be gone in a few days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 I can only hope! Well, been to the police, given my statement and hoping they will take this guy for driving without due care (I reallly hope they do! and will be disappointed if they dont consider it!) Anyway... Always took a trip to Ford and they had a look, thankfully (somehow?!) its all superficial apparently, around £900 is a very rough guess! so no write off (thank chuff) and all the main bends, buckles and impacts can be cut out and repaired. All I can say is I am grateful for that much! Anyways, waiting on painkillers kicking in, still they havent after 2 hours... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L666JER Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Haven't had much luck lately have you. But it obviously wasn't the corsas fault - they do have steering column issues you know :p 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 87 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Let's hope the police come down hard on the guy, and it's good to hear the car isn't as bad as you thought. At least now you can focus on getting better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
