    Maybe he was Spanish and was heading off to celebrate? They are mad yolks on the road.

    how could he see me, he was in a hurry. right lets call a spade a spade here. he reversed out of his drive way without due care and attention. the reason he didn't see me was because he'd no lights on. i was at the front near side of his car wearing a dark cream jacket. i was half way across the road before he even started to reverse out of his drive way. i'm not one for getting the guards unless it's something serious. your talking the guts of 30-40 feet from his drive way to where the impact was. it only took literally seconds for this to happen.

    He is wrong, report him to the guards and let them deal with it.

    Yep a hit n run :( Now Hondasam explain :p


    It was not a hit n run, the driver did leave the scene but spoke to the op/ip.

    My post count is because I am sad, lonely and anti social with no life outside of boards, according to some, not me of course:pac:

    Is the car ok?

    Seriously OP, you're a big boy - you decide whether to call the police or not. Why are you asking strangers on the internet for advice?
    Have you been drinking/taking drugs?
    Were you injured?

    In such a hurry that he travelled faster the speed of light? That's the only scenario I can think of that makes sense of the above statement.
    You should call an ambulance, maybe you suffered a brain injury?

    You were run over, yet your first port of call is not the guards or ambulance, it's an internet forum full of people you don't know that will most likely make fun of you......................

    Wise move OP. Wise move.

    And they posted in AH to make sure they get useful replies!

    OP you have to report this to the Gardaí, you where involved in an RTI and they have to be reported.

    No point calling the authorities OP, what happened was actually intentional. You see, the man that hit you is a member of the Grammar Police. Suck it up.

    maybe this is what happened .. out for an stroll on a winter' evening wearing a dark cream jacket with his darling wife... while crossing an unlit road he gets an auld tip of a car, gets a bit of a shock and exchanges words with the driver.. walks home, not hobbles or crawls but walks. wife nags about getting new curtains in time for xmas and maybe painting the hall,stairs and landing.. op has an idea of maybe reporting the incident, tells people that he just had an operation which is now quiet sore.logs onto a chat forum to gauge the reaction to possibly reporting the incident and with a glint in his eye, he is hoping to get some financial reward to pay for aformentioned curtains and paint..
    correct me if im way off btw...

    Trying to grasp the thinking behind getting a smack of a car and the first thing you do is post on an internet forum. Can't do it.

    Reminds me a bit of this.

    Dirtynosebeps, I think the decent thing to do here is find out who knocked you down and pay for any damages you may have caused to the car.

    Why? The OP is ok if s/he is on here talking about it?

    What will this achieve ?

    Op unless you wearing a full high vis vest, carrying a bright torch with good batteries & a bulb that works while you got "knocked down" it is entirely your fault, nobedy is else is even in the least bit wrong so all you need to do is man up and get on with shagging your wife before someone on here realises your not paying attention and decide to throw one into her anyway. ;)


    Forget this crap of he only had reverse lights on, If he had reverse lights on that is all he needs to reverse. Hence your reverse light does not come on when you move forward thats what headlights are for.

    WTF asking on here like? whats that about?
