Hi All

This is my first time in starting a thread so i'm a thread virgin.

 

On Tuesday I came out of my local shop to get back in my car. I went onto the road side of the car to get in the drivers side and saw a little blue mini coming towards me. I didnt open the door but waited thinking it would just drive by as there was nothing else on the road. The next thing I remember was coming round with three or four people around me. The driver of the mini had clipped the back of my car and hit me sending me over her bonnet and clipping her roof. I was told this by the lollypop lady who saw it all and tried to stop her with her stick, but she had carried on. I was given the reg number so phoned 999. The dibbles came to my house five hours later and questioned me saying that the driver of the mini would not be approached regarding the matter as she was 72 and it would cause her much distress, I went nuts and the dibbles left. Yesterday I contacted the head of Barnsley nick and he told me the case was not worth persuing as to thhe drivers age and the CPS would not prosecute. I went to the drivers house to ask her about the incedent and she said I was talking rubbish, it never happened, and she was calling the police to report me. 20 minutes later I was being lectured about herrasment and do not contact this person again. Today I have phoned the solicitors and they are trying to sort it all.

 

The moral is start drivng your Zed as you like after you are 70 and you are immune from the law. :asshole:

mrs is a prosecutor and i've just mentioned this sitting on the sofa....She would be prosecuted for failing to stop, failing to report an accident and driving without due care. Possible assault depending on your level of injury. Make a complaint to the chief constable ASAP!

 

For a minor offence she might not be prosecuted, but only if she were to surrender her licence. However, this is a serious incident and given the fact you were knocked over, over the car and knocked unconcious is a highly serious incident. YOu need to get witness details and pursue this. I hardly think she's important driving a mini, so get it sorted!

bull m8 you cant get hurt by a driver and hav no justice f$£k theyr age or ability its driving without due care..i agree with the tell a newspaper about it..

wot would have happend(god forbid) you were crippld by this

i not saying take the fogie for everything but prove a valuable point

good job u wernt crippled by it

You are doing the right thing going the legal route its possibly the only way to get some action now. keep away from the papers if you are going down this route though. She needs her license taking off her at least, an apology would help too. I would kill the driver in a blink of an eye if it were one of my kids she had hit, I dont think I would be able to stop myself regardless of the consequences. This is a terrible story and I feel sorry for you.
