Walesy 0 Posted January 11, 2007 Personally, I would ring the local Hackney Carriage Office and make a complaint to them, if the car is a legal taxi they'll have the drivers details. He for-fieted the ammicable resolution when he just buggered off without leaving a note IMO , that's something that really gets on my wick. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dr_mat 0 Posted January 11, 2007 Call the taxi company first. You wouldn't want to lose *your* livelihood just because of a little thing like this. Obviously you point out to him that if they won't pay up the amicable route, you only need to call your insurance company who will call the police and arrest him for failing to report a road traffic accident. Simple logic will prevail .. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walesy 0 Posted January 11, 2007 I bumped someones car at 3am when I was a taxi driver - I got out of the car and no-one came out of their house etc I could easily of got away with it, but because my license was important to me I went and got a piece of paper, and left a note on the guys car. I had a phonecall the next moring to say thanks very much for leaving the note and not to worry about the bump because it was only a cheap car :) Also, I'd be very suprised if he lost his license over it - but it would make him think twice about just leaving the scene again!

mattnorgrove 0 Posted January 11, 2007 What a tosser! I'd approach amicably 1st for sure, if you get no joy, run him over in his own taxi. Then reverse over the c*nt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nocrap 0 Posted January 11, 2007 dr_mat, spot on...exactly the right thing to do IMHO Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackcat 0 Posted January 11, 2007 dr_mat, spot on...exactly the right thing to do IMHO I agree with this too. Try it the nice reasonable way first, if they don't respond then get the insurance/police involved. True, it wasn't very nice or reasonable of him to just drive off but you never know the reason behind it. One day someone drove past my parked car and took the wing mirror off, I heard the noise from my back garden but no one stopped. My neighbour got the reg number so I stormed down to the police station and reported them - It turned out to be a little old lady who didn't know that she had done it and was so guilty she came round to my house with a bunch of flowers. I felt so guilty I never followed up on the claim :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve_16v 0 Posted January 11, 2007 It turned out to be a little old lady who didn't know that she had done it and was so guilty she came round to my house with a bunch of flowers. I felt so guilty I never followed up on the claim Not being funny but if she didn't even notice she hit another car she shouldn't be allowed to drive a car, a wing mirror is nothing, next time it might be a small child she hits and just carries on oblivious.

blackcat 0 Posted January 11, 2007 Yeah that's what I thought at the time but whether I had persued the claim or not wouldn't have made a difference to whether she was allowed to drive or not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve_16v 0 Posted January 11, 2007 Probably not, it's possible, although sadly unlikely, that her insurer may have forced her to have a medical exam to check if she was still fit to drive. Or her premium may have gone up enough that she could no longer afford to drive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
