I normally work at home Fridays so I wasn't best pleased to be called into the office for a meeting. I was even less pleased when on my way back home after the meeting an undercover cop on a motorbike side-swiped my car leaving long dents down both doors on the left hand side!
Spent an hour at the accident scene in the company of six police officers (two in two unmarked traffic cars), three scenes of crime officers (who came to collect the motorbike in an MPV), a colleague of the officer who hit me, an ambulance crew (for the officer who had come off his biike) and just for five minutes two other paramedics in an emergency response car. The traffic police took my details, gave me a breath test (negative result of course), wouldn't let me speak to the officer who was on the motorbike and then sent me on my way promising to send me their insurance details (we'll see what happens about that). Luckily my insurer was able to identify the police insurer from the motorbike registration plus I've got an incident number and the name and collar tag of the traffic officer so hopefully there won't be any issues getting the police to pay-out. Taking my car into the repair shop for an insurance estimate on Wednesday - hopefully it won't take them too long to get the car in for repair. :mad: |
Sorry to hear...not what you'd expect from the "strong arm of the law" :-)
...or was it a crash test dummy of the law? I hope things turn out OK. |

They should have given the police officer the breath test.

I do not like two wheeler motor bikes in general - their irritating and polluting noise(pollution, effects on our hearing-ears), - Two bikes driving in the same lane side by side and even single biker do not stay in middle of the lane - the way they dress and look with extras - O my God - when they go in groups or single and the the way pass/overtake They need some laws/regulations. |
