Young lad, who works in my local bike shop, was crossing the A25 at Brasted on Sunday, when a car jumped the red light, clipped his back wheel and sent him flying. The slimeball did not stop, just carried on and left him. No one in the cars at the junction got out to help him, one just drove around him as if he was something that had fallen off a lorry.

No bones broken, just black and blue all over. £3500 maching mostly written off, luckily it was team issue and not his.

Because he did not get the number of the car, his insurance company is playing up.

Hope the bastard dies coughing up black blood - soon.

Did he report it to the Police? there may have been CCTV on the road somewhere, has he got insurance?
As a CTC member I have third party insurance and was hit early last year hit and run but I got his number, until they traced him the Insurance were talking about claiming from the M.I.B I think it was.
It is a fund for incidents where incidents occur with no claimant ie hit and run or un insured drivers.

Good lord! They find time to do that as well as controlling unruly aliens? We need more civil servants like them!
