This is the horrifying moment a hit-and-run driver knocked down a 12-year-old girl on a zebra crossing as she walked to school.
Shocking footage shows an unidentified red car overtaking a bus as it waited at a crossing for the student to walk across the road.
The girl had crossed out in front of the stationary bus on the zebra crossing in Birmingham on her way to school at around 7.30am on November 21.

What a massive generalisation, I drive in all over the uk and Birmingham is no worse than most other cities. They're all full of knobheads!Edited by BlackLabel on Sunday 21st December 12:29
Article says.
The footage, captured from a bus-cam, shows the young girl walking across the crossing before disappearing from view as she is mowed under by the red car.
Police are appealing for the driver to come forward and described the girl's injury as "serious".
PC Laura Loy from the Road Trafic Investigation Unit said: "Despite the collision being captured by the camera, we have been unable to identify what the unknown car is.
Sure that's a focus?

Shame the camera is so crap, almost defeats the point of having one.
Either that person is near suicidal for overtaking on a cross, or just plain unaware of his surroundings and thought the bus was making a passenger stop and passed it. Either they are f
ked if the Police catch up with them.

What a ridiculous comment! The point is that he mowed down a young girl, and didn't stop. Either that person is near suicidal for overtaking on a cross, or just plain unaware of his surroundings and thought the bus was making a passenger stop and passed it. Either they are f

Ps about 8 years ago I started a thread about hit and runs in Birmingham.
I was working and living there at the time and people would bring in local papers. I started the thread because almost every day there was a story about yet another hut and run.
Never made the news just page ten on whatever free press rag it was.

When I did my bike test some years ago, I questioned the need to do shoulder checks when turning right from the centre of the road. Who would be stupid enough to overtake there, I asked?
People on drugs or driving stolen cars was the answer. That nugget stuck with me. It's not directly applicable here, except that there are some retards on the road who either don't look or don't give a fk.

Hope the girl recovers,
She'll be OK - Broken ankle I think is the outcome. She'll be a bit shaken up but she'll also make sure she checks what's going on around her even when she thinks she's safe.O/T - I have noticed in the UK that people think a Zebra Crossing has magical properties that can stop a car doing 30mph within five feet. Try that in lots of other countries and you'd get mown down.

I have. There are knobs everywhere. In any group of drivers you'll have a proportion who (a) drive like knobs (b) won't accept they drive like knobs and (c) justify their knobbery by saying "well, no puppies were killed, were they?".Edited by BlackLabel on Sunday 21st December 12:29
As a rule I think the UK has pretty good overall driving standards because the vast majority of drivers follow the rules.

I find the minority of pedestrians who bother to use the crossings provided more cautious than the swagger-casually-across-the-road-at-any-point-you-like-in-low-light-dressed-all-in-dark-expecting-every-driver-to-know-you're-there that seems the standard way to tackle road crossings today, she should have been on the lookout for the idiot moped/cyclist but FFS 12 year old girl.O/T - I have noticed in the UK that people think a Zebra Crossing has magical properties that can stop a car doing 30mph within five feet.

whatever any other rights and wrongs, anyone who drives off after hitting a kid needs to be duck taped to a polaris missile and fired at the sun.

I have to agree with him tbh. I've lived and driven in Chester and Bristol until last year. I moved to Birmingham for work and since my move I swear I've used my horn more than in the past 6 years. Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
