Paul Firstly I hope the young lady is OK and the bike not too badly damaged. I saw something simular when on my way home from the British GP some years ago. We were filling up at Thurrock services when another couple on a bike pulled up at the pump behind. As the passenger was getting off a car sped onto the forecourt stricking her a glancing blow. This was before the law changed to make the forecourt a public place and therefore the rules o the highway were not applicable.despite this the police charged the driver with "furious & wanton" driving a charge that first applied to in the horse & carraige days. It still carried a maximum scentence of life imprisonment.Stangely enough on this occassion the CCTV was not operating either I hope I have a better trip home from Donnington today |
