i know most of them are decent but there seems to be the odd few that aren't demonstration point is the video below first issue - 55mph when his limit should be 40 second issue he's lucky those two cars weren't seconds later it must be something in the water because this is the 3rd dashcam video i've uploaded this week...

Hi all, I am hoping someone can advise me of the likely outcome of this situation that I find myself in. My car was recently hit by our local recycling firm causing some damage to the bodywork - car itself is ok. No note was left by the driver, although he apparently got out and had a look at the damage before driving off! A note was left by an independent witness however. I have contacted the company in question and they have moved quite quickly so far. Called them on Monday, they came and viewed car on Wednesday and then called me on Friday to say their insurers would be in touch soon. The car is probably worth about the same as the cost to fix the damage would be, maybe less. My questions really are: 1) Do I need to inform my insurers? 2) What is the likely outcome? 3) Is there anything I should know about this process as it's all new to me!? I don't really want to lose the car but feel aggrieved as something of mine was damaged by a third party - and the fact that the driver left without reporting it. The company's rep was very quick to point out that they encourage all their drivers to stop and report incidents. This is probably because I mentioned the word 'criminal' in the conversations we had prior to his visit. Any thoughts would be much appreciated

I turned down a side road to get near my local supermarket, (its the only way to get to the entrance) but a lorry was parked up, i thought it was making a delivery so i gave a good 15 mins for driver to come out and move. But nothing, then i call the shop as it was up the road, to ask the to ask the driver how long he will be as at this point there was 4 cars behind me and it was causing traffic on the main street, the lorry was already parked up on the pavement and out of the loading bay due to the width, then a guy who had been hanging around the truck appeared telling me the truck had been there an hour, and was delving i told them it does not take an hour to delver furniture,the guy then says look you gonna have to go on the pavement (not easy to do with ballads on the edge) I then called the store again who informed me that they could not get hold of the driver, i personally feel this guy was the driver as a few residents had contacted me telling me he was the driver just pulled up on side road to have lunch, i then had to kerb the car causing damage to the alloy and wheel, I went to the shop up the road and ask the manager why the driver had not moved and caused traffic, he commented saying look if he there an hour to deliver then thats how long it takes, i made it clear that residents had told me about the driver just eating his lunch and that he was just on break! and that i had to kerb my car as he refused to move. I have a camera fitted in the car and have video evidence to show the driver obstructed the road and pavement and where i had to kerb the pavement causing damage to my car. I not to bothered about the alloy i just wanted an apology for it, I'm livid how i was treated by the store manager!

a few days ago my wife ,myself her sister and our daughter went to Doncaster , our return journey (incase anyone knows the road layout) consisted in coming down the road behind the market to the traffic light junction . when the lights turned green we approached onto market roundabout into the middle lane labelled A19SELBY /A638 WAKEFIELD. which as a spiral roundabout takes you over the bridge towards sprotborough etc in the left hand lane as you exit the roundabout onto the bridge. a few seconds onto the roundabout at a speed of less than 20 mph we were hit in the drivers side rear quarter panel by an articluted lorry of at least 7.5 tonne (has a forklift truck on the back ) so could have been of a heavier weight . the lorry spun the car around 90 degrees and we were fully across the front of the truck . the only thing we could see from the drivers side was the full front of the vehicle . we have no idea wewre the lorry come from ,it either come from over the bridge ,or come from wheatley hall road . the car wasn't ours it is my brothers car on loan to us from time to time on the understanding I paid for a separate insurance policy . (as he is a garage owner and has trade insurance so we wold not be covered) I did this in march (maybe earlier) and also included him on the policy as he is the owner and registered keeper as the car is usually kept at his home address. then wagon driver jumped from the cab and shouted its your fault not mine . I didn't respond at all I was in shock my 3 year old daughter was on the side that was hit . luckily the car was an audi and seemed to take the impact well , hate to think if it had been a small car like a corsa . police attended the scene made sure everyone was ok they exchange details not us and then let us go on our merry way . I took pictures of the damage to the car , the rear quarter back door , front door and front wing are all badly damaged .the rear bumper has a slight crack and the rear wheel is scuffed , im devastated and feel wholly responsible to my brother , when I phoned my insurance they stated that as my no claims was unprotected I will lose 8 years ncb if it ends up been a 50/50 split . as there unprotected policy does not consider any ncb over 5 years I wasn't even driving my wife was and Is a named driver. I have been in contact with there transport mamager who was very polite and said don't worry we will have your vehicle sorted in no time as the have a very good insurance company , he said the drivers pride was dented and he was been ribbed by his colleagues . also said if it was my car I would have throttled the guy . I know we are not to blame I know we were in the correct lane on the roundabout , but I have no idea were the lorry came from so quickly I have attached a picture of how the car ended up on the roundabout me and my brother are now in the process of assessing whether it would be better for him to fix the car , in case it goes 50/50 as the car if taken to audi for assessment would be wrote off due to the cost of fixing it. further upping an insurance premium next year as the car was valued on the policy quote at over 11k the wagon didn't seem to suffer any damage except blue paint on it from the car seems my insurance is worth nothing , and all ive had is personal injury specialists phoning me to claim for injuries , all of us eneded up with none , except it effected my sciatica , but I am due to see a neuro surgeon this week as I already have 2 slipped disks the small picture attached is from a mobile phone taken by luck from a girl who works at the public house my sister and daughter work at in scawsby.

Hi all, i am new on here just need some advice please. I took an 18 ton lorry down a 7.5 ton limit and got caught, this was on 25th jan 2013. Have got court date of 20th august 2013. This is 7 months, i have been told they only have 6 months to get you into court is this correct. Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi guys Appreciate comments based upon experience as well as the law on this issue To my utter disappointment the lorry driver involved in the accident is no longer standing by comments made at the time of the accident. They are claiming I went into their vehicle. My insurers are pushing to settle 50/50 which makes me angry. The facts: As both vehicles approached the roundabout, the lorry in the left hand lane and my car in the right and both heading straight ahead, the lorry started to move into my lane, so I quickly put my brakes on, moving as close as possible to the roundabout in an attempt to avoid the collision. To my horror, the lorry appeared oblivious to my presence, collided with the left hand side of my vehicle in the rear quarter panel, the side of his vehicle scraped the whole of my car, knocking the wing mirror off and only then did he straighten up and move back into his lane; he then applied his brakes and stopped beyond the roundabout. The driver of the vehicle: 1 First said "Where did you come from?", clearly indicating he had failed to drive with due care and attention. 2 Had a dog in his cabin. 3 Spoke to somebody on his mobile phone after realising what had just happened, saying that he had "just gone into the side of someone" and he was going to "lose his job". 4 Apologised to me, saying he was "really sorry". 5 Asked me to write down that I had suffered no injuries. No witnesses stopped to offer details. My insurers are not willing to push further than 50/50. I want justice. I have become very weary of lorries on roundabouts since this eventful day What are my options? Thanks
