The most important thing I was not hurt. :)
So all fine me wise. So no-one panic. For those that know me I dont like driving after a bad accdent yeras ago, this doesnt help.
Was hit by a 4wd ute, the driver mounted a traffic island to go through a red light. He swiped me from the back & up the side d my car. I heard this huge scratching noise, i looked to my side & this car was right by my side. The driver stared at me & drove off. I was at the lights stationary waiting for a green light. Luckily I have A VW so nice & sturdy.
Have lodged it as a hit & run on a crime report.
Now I need to get the damage assessed & I have to pay the $550 excess unless the police can track down the driver.
It has put me off cooking today :(

Oh No Hally, thanks goodness you are not hurt. :-*
Get the police to check out car repairers too.
Do your traffic lights have CCTV cameras.
Robyn :)
-
Yes just in shock but no damage.
Good idea about repairers. I got the number plate, but they think it might have been stolen or the guy illegally driving.
I onky have a small vw golf, but its nice & strong.
Funny you should say about cctv, dh & I were only looking for cameras at this intersecton at the weekend but coudnt see any.

:o :o :o
That's terrible Hally! Thank goodness you're not hurt. It must have been very scary though :(
What a horrible person to have done that >:(
-
Alot of intersections that are bad for accidents in cairns have cameras.
I have CCTV cameras at work here, and it paid off for me when I had damage to my shop 2 weeks ago.
The police will run the numberplate in the system.

How horrible to be shaken up like that, Halex. Damage to the car is inconvenient and I can well understand you don't feel like to cooking or anything else. Well done to get the number in that state of shock. If you are uninjured yourself, all's well that ends well. Good to hear that much. I was hit last month by a fellow who didn't want to stop but the man behind me got all the observations necessary to make for a smooth insurance claim.
-
Hally, that is awful. Thank goodness you weren't hurt. It gives you such a fright though.
At least you held it together enough to get the number plates.
Put your feet up and have a drink Hally.
-
Cecillia, you too, its not good.
Yes am on couch having a cuppa tea.

-
you poor thing-you must be totally rattled. Hope they find the idiotic so and so ******!!!!!&&####. I won't swear- what an awful human being. Trouble is, it seems to be happening so much more often these days. The main thing is that you're oK.
-
glad to hear you are ok. At least you have a number plate number, so the police can follow up. Hopefully they will catch someone.
-
What a nasty thing to happen! . .by an equally nasty individual by the sounds of it . .Take good care of yourself Hally. Good presence of mind to get the number plate, regardless of who the car belongs to . . .I sometimes think guys like this have brains that have been fried - drugs, alcohol, whatever . Thankful you're not physically hurt but the shock takes some getting over. Hang in there and try to relax . . .
-
Glad your o.k. Hally!...there are such morons around :-)) hope he gets in deep!
-
OMG Halex that is terrible. You poor thing. What a inconvenience. And I can't believe some people could even do such a thing. Obviously they don't give a S**T about other people.
Glad to hear you were not hurt.
-
Hally, hope this doesn't exacerbate your back problem.
-
Good God, Hally, I'm not a drinker, but I think I would be having something a tad stronger than a cuppa tea if I was in your shoes!
What a terrible thing to happen. Even though you were so lucky not to be injured in any way, it still give you a terrible fright and leaves you shaken for ages when something like this happens. Well done on getting the number plate, at least that is a positive start for the police investigation.
-
Hally, I've just come in so missed this. Oh, you poor thing - I know how you've been put off of driving since your other accident and now this comes along to unnerve you again. I'm so happy to hear you are OK though and good on that little VW for being strong enough to survive that onslaught. I'm glad you had the insight to get the number but of course, us being honest people, don't stop to think that it is probably a stolen number plate anyway. There would have to be some damage to the vehicle so Robyn is right, the Police will check the repairers. Sending love and hugs and hope DH can come home early to give you one too.
-
Thank goodness you are ok H, hoping you aren't too affected by this idiot.
I am still shaking my head that he had no care in the world. Enjoy your cup of tea and cuddles from CP for now. I am sure DH will be home soon :-* :-*
-
Very lucky not hurt. Thank godness for my strong little VW.
Shaken up yes I was, shaking to the nearest place to stop & ring dh.
Very sad to hear these hit & runs happen quite a bit, especially when its minor danage.
Hope they get the guy, he obviously was in a hurry to want to go through a red light.
I am fine, was a little nervous driving to school pick up, managed OK. Of to auskick soon.
H :)
-
Good on you Hally. You know you were totally blameless but it's just unfortunate there are so many uncaring idiots in the world.
-
Hally how awful. I hope the police catch up with him.
Glad to hear you are all ok & that you're not going to let it stop you driving. I think you deserve to sit back tonight & relax, drink in hand of course!
Take care xx
-
Not at all a pleasant experience but alls well that ends well. It is only a car and you are unhurt. Not a bad result under the circumstance.
Another bully. His time will come.
Gert
-
Thank you everyond, I am home now for te evening relaxing with a glass of wine :)
Hope they find him.
H :)
-
Glad to hear you are ok, but so sorry it happened.
Hope all gets sorted insurance wise and that the offender is prosecuted etc etc.
Take care. Hope u r not too stiff tomorrow.
-
:( i am so so so glad that you are OK :)
-
Oh Hal, how frightening my dear. So glad you are OK. I hope the police catch the bugger.
-
You poor thing H, it's great that you were able to get back in the car for school pick up. Hopefully they are able to catch him based on the information you supplied.
-
Hope you had a restful night Hally and feeling a little less rattled this morning.
-
Me too H. I'm off out all day today in a little while so will check with you later to see how things are.
-
That is just too horrible for words.
Hope you have a much calmer day today .
Wish I could send you a big hug.
-
I hope you are feeling better today Hally :-*
-
Thank you everyone :)
Feeling much happier today.
Kitten sitting a 3 week old kitty this morning, then maybe a little shoppi g for the soul ;D
Then maybe some cooking.
H :)
-
nothing like a cute little kitty to pat and play with to make you smile again and think positive thoughts. Don't worry, they will catch up with this guy sooner or later. There are some real whackos out there, and you have to thank your lucky stars that you don't have to live with them. Whilst they drive off, you have to pick up the pieces. Main thing is to make sure it doesn't exacerbate any existing back problems if you got a bit of a jolt so take it easy, and have a cuppa and a biccy outside in the sunshine.
-
Hally, this is awful. What a B.......d he would be. You look after yourself as I and many other are looking forward to meeting you.
-
Hally glad you are feeling better today.
Robyn :)
-
Oh Hally, I'm so glad you are okay.
What a rotten so and so to do that to you and then drive off.
Hope the police catch him.
-
oh how terrible for you hally , it was good you thought to get his number plate
that you had a pen handy , l would of been too much in shock to think that quicky
its good to hear that you are feeling happier today and that you were not hurt
l hope they catch him
-
Hally how ghastly for you. Some people are absolute idiots. I'm glad you had to drive and pick up CP from school, it got you behind the wheel again.
Hopefully there are no lingering sore patches today. :-*
-
Oh Hally you poor thing to be badly shaken by your car accident.I hope you are feeling better. :-* :-*(Been away and only now catching up with the forums postings)
-
Back to normal today, just a nervous driver again.
H :)
