some complete idiot helped my lad off his motorbike on conway street tonight ,he now has a badley damaged bike and a broken coller bone and the nice person drove off .the police say they should get them on cctv so hopefully justice can be done .

That's awfull:(hope your son is ok?

Sorry to hear this Lansyp,lets hope justice can be done.

Agree!

cheers the main thing is he walked away could have been worse thanks guys

Damaged bike and collar bone mmm just say hope the cctv identify him Lansyp,let us know the outcome!

Yeah man, hope you find the prick, what vehicle was it?

Could be male or female cctv should tell all!

How awful,barstewards,hope they catch him/her and your son makes a speedy recovery.

Discrace isint it!hope your son is ok,and they catch the arsehol*!

Hope your lad will be ok. Seems to be a lot of w*nkers on the roads in this area. I get a lot of tossers tailgating me, just 'cos I drive a mini and they think they can bully me.

When ever people tail gate me, I just slam on the brakes, they soon get the message and back off.
There is plenty of cctv on conway street, they will find who it was

There are some bad people about. Hope your son recovers quickly Lansyp

Sorry to read this about your son Lansyp,as you said it could have been alot worse though.

hi all just to update a little bit .all craig remembers is the car was gold ,he thinks it may have been a rover but is unsure we havent heard from the police yet but they told my daughter that they had the main accident on cctv.and where investigating other cctv images. what pisses me off is that the "person" didnt even stop to see if he was ok .will keep you posted cheers

The person who it was is peobs sitting at home shi*ing it waiting for the knock on the door, if they where drunk driving the police will never know now, so i hope the punishment they get will be the maximum, but no doubt they will get a slap on the wrist and a 12month ban.
If the car was stolen, lets hope the police can identify the driver from cctv.

Hit and run case!

Shocking, sick that they could drive off without checking your son was ok, hope he has a speedy recovery...

Cnuts :m:

Hope he's ok soon.

Lets hope they find out who this is and they lose there licence and spend a bit of time behind bars as it is out of order! Hope he gets well soon!

sickening this, could have been stolen/no insurance and so may never know who the driver was. Either that or drunk driver who didnt want to be identified- its shocking how anyone could drive off not knowing the impact of the collision- I hope the person responsible gets his just deserts, how anyone could sleep easy with this on there conscience beggars belief- how awful I feel so sorry for your son and hope he makes a speedy recovery, thank the lord it wasnt fatal which it could have been, the driver wouldnt know

This is terrible hope they catch the person who did this !!!!

quick update .police been on they still trying to trace the number plate but they have confirmed its a gold colour vauxhall mariva

Thats good news getting somewhere now!

The best trick when they tail-gate is switch on your side lights and accelerate, leaving them in panic.

Gold rover? Most likely to be a 25 then...

cheers, my bad for not reading the whole thread

they will get him ,,,, hope ure son is ok

An elderly person knocked my husband off his motorbike and didn’t even realise she'd hit him, and then promptly reversed over him while he was lying on the ground. He was very seriously injured took him 3 years to recover. So it might be a similar thing they might not even know they've hit him. It doesn’t excuse it obviously don’t get me wrong, it makes it worse that they can hit someone and NOT EVEN KNOW!!!!!! It’s frightening. She got banned from driving and had her licence revoked. Either way not knowing or deliberately driving off doesn't change the fact that this person is a danger on the roads. Hope you son is ok and they trace the person. x

There can't be many gold Merivas on the road with panel damage. I for one will have my eyes peeled for you.

are we allowed to advertise this hit and run on our facebook pages, i for one would like to get the piece of crap caught asap, my daughter was knocked off her 600 a few years back and very luckily got away with lumps and bumps, nothing happened to the driver who was rolling out of a side road onto a main road with a white van parked on the road blocking veiw of my girl,but the stupid bint was not looking at all,she was too busy messing with something in the car (according to witnesses) bit nice Mr Plod decided nothing would be done cos of the van.....her bike was a write-off....no points...no nothing....so lets get the word going round for the car involved. And my best wishes to you and your son x

I think it might look like this,eyes peeled folks

will do

have they said if they can tell if its a male or female yet?

hi can i just confirm that there is no damage to the car .he cut craig up turning into europa boulivard he came from the left lane right across him ,craig managed to avoid the car but lost the bike and went over the handle bars just missing the car so the driver has got away scot free ,but if he or she is caught it will be a dangerouse driving charge they think

As you know, i've been a biker for over thirty years, you soon come to realise that the roads are swarming with people suffering from tunnel vision, hope Craig is o.k. , hope this doesn't put him off biking.

How is your son Lansyp?

anymore news on that car and driver yet Lansyp? x

hi all just a quick update,craig is ok he is in a lot of pain at times but good considering .still no news on the car but fingers crossed will keep yous informed cheers paul p.s. cheers formo it hasnt put him off he cant wait to go back on it

Thanks for the update and let him know that we are all wishing him well.

the saga continues ,craig now has to have an operation to either plate or pin his coller bone he is so pissed off and still no sign of the nice person

Sorry to hear this pal, that's terrible.

oh dear thats not good i do hope they find the tw.at!!

Could turn out to be a driver thats over his or her alcohol limit!

update .craig is in hospital awaiting surgery,still no arrest though cheers paul

Bad news, sorry it resulted in surgery. How can they not have found the person responsible, isn't there meant to be CCTV bloody everywhere around B'head for obvious reasons!?

Best wishes to him anyway and a speedy recovery.

If I can do anything to help with the bike, give us a shout.

Cheer s Dave the bike we think is just cosmetic he has had his op now so can't ride for about 8 weeks or more .his friend picked his bike up and rode it home said it felt ok cheer s mate

have the police said why they haven't found the car/driver yet? seems strange that they haven't found either yet?
i witnessed a failing to stop on mill lane and the police went straight round to the drivers house once they'd taken statements.

also if you ask them for the reg of the car, you can tell the you need it for an insurance claim, and get form V888C from the dvla they will give you the registered keepers name and address. just in case you want to find out for yourself

apparently the registration is hard to read from all the cameras they have seen so far but they recon they have more to see yet .i would like to see justice done his mother would like to throttle the s**t out of them lol.

Hard to read? I'm sure they can make out SOME of the reg, and it's easy to check all possibilities of the digits they can't make out. How many of them are going to correspond to such a shit coloured horrible French POS car?!

Having said that, I once had a lump of limestone thrown at my car, causing about £3k of damage. A witness saw it happen, told them the colour of car, type of car and a description of the driver.

Unfortunately he got the registration wrong by 1 fcuking digit i.e. W253 XGJ and the reg of the car was W254 XGJ - so it was pretty obvious as the other reg related to a completely different car down south and I also had a good idea who it was.

Police weren't interested.

It happens, a good solicitor would say it was an unreliable witness, and that's the problem.
They're both VW registered numbers, one is a white panel van the other a grey luton, if they'd have described the van and said "I think its...." with the reg number then something might have been done, but if they say "It was..." and it wasn't....

Sorry, drifting off topic a bit.

I used the reg numbers above as an example.

hey lets hope the police catch the ...,

Hope they get to the bottom off this Lansyp!

Sorry to hear this Lansyp, hope he makes a speedy recovery! There are some right tossers on the road these days, and the police drive me absolutely nuts with claims they make and generally being unhelpful, blah blah blah! The worst one is when they say "The cameras were pointing the wrong way", have had that one said to me earlier this year when a car reversed into me after overshooting a red light and trying to get back over the line >:(
Have you considered asking Conway Park train station if they managed to catch anything on their CCTV footage? Dunno if the police would ask them, but they might have caught something with their cameras if they point that way. Just a thought!
Hope he gets better soon, and hope you can get a result from the old bill!

new update .nothing to report nothing from the police about the car ,craig still in pain from his op ,he may be able to claim some compo but not sure will keep letting you know how it progresses

How is your son now Lansyp?

Latest on Craig is that he is selling his bike and going for a car there isn't a lot wrong with the bike so he should get a decent price for it .still no sign of the knob who helped him of it but he should gett ompo for his


injuries

what about the cctv coverage?

Lets hope they do catch them in the end. Good Luck to Craig,does he need to pass his driving test?

Sorry for late reply but yes he needs to pass his test but he is giving up the bike and he deploy.g it and putting in for his car test .still no sign of the git that caused the crash

for those who are still interested lol .no sign off the car that caused the crash and police havent been arsed if you ask me .craig still in recovery but has decided not to give up bikes (new one arrives today) just thought i would update as i know alot of you read this cheers

well im glad hes still into bikes it shows hes moving on

good luck craig

Good luck to the lad with his new wheels. Getting back on 2 wheels is anyway a good idea because it will get the past problems out of his system - and at some time in the future it will make him a better car driver.

REMIND him that every other road user AND pedestrian is "out to get him" and that he should not take too many risks. No point in saying no risks because it would be a boring life.

Snod (old but still using 2 wheels when the weather is fine)

hi all .the saga continues .craig just been to arrow park and now has to have a further operation and a bone graft to put his collar bone back to right. has to go in friday just thought i would let you good people know thanks for caring paul
