Girlfriend was putting petrol in her bike today when a nice man who had just paid for his fuel got into his car,reversed into her knocking her and the bike over and spilling petrol everywhere. He got out, took a look and ignored her appeal to help get the bike off her, got back into his car and drove off. Ain't there some lovely people out there !!!.

Question is; was it "hit and run" ? and would the police be even remotely interested in catching this pillock of society so he can pay for the damage to the bike.

Spoke to the lady at the filling station and to my astonishment was told that the video cameras were not aimed at the forecourt today. When asked what they did to aprehend non payers she informed me that they got very few. I managed to stifle a massive laugh at this one but where does it leave people in these circumstances ?.

Most pay by credit/debit card these days so it's fairly likely that this guy did so and would have paid shortly before the incident took place so there is a chance he could be traced that way.

Anyone else come across similar problems ??
