Hit a cyclist today - what sort of trouble am I in

You can make sure they get caught driving on a suspended license, and if there is a bench warrant, they can be picked up on a tip.

It's really easy to see through, the last place a non cyclist like this after what supposedly happened, is to seek out a cycling website.

Sorry lads if you think I'm on the wind up, but this is 100% serious

I need to drive because I am self employed, lost my licence for 6 months for drink diving

Only joined to see if anyone knew the law RE: motorists hitting cyclists

Anyway since the accident I have been using public transport and I've shaved my hair off and wearing a pair of glasses in public to avoid getting caught

Driving drunk, you are truly a POS. And apparently you can't drive sober either. You need to be run over. If you are self employed, you should have known the importance of a drivers license and never driven under the influence. I rarely drink, and even after only one beer, my wife drives...period.

Gimme a break. You're so full of it. I'm sorry, but THIS was over the top. And, if you're self-employed, why were you so worried about your mommy and daddy in an earlier post?

pert

Well I take the same route to work everyday, chances are this guy I hit, while his bike is getting fixed. Will be traveling on the same route as me, the same route that i hit him on. And seeing as he got a good look at me i'm sure you can understand why.

Oh and I sold my car to pay legal fees on my dink driving case, so thats why I'm using my parents car.

And you are located approximately where?

Should be a prison.

Hit & run, no license,no insurance, evading, implied consent, (priors?).
Reckon you could be right!

Well, if this is all true, then the FIRST thing you have to do is to tell your parents ...

Because, won't one of them be surprised if they are driving the car in question AND they are stopped & arrested for a hit-and-run!

Of course, THEY bear some liability for allowing you to use their car since they obviously must be aware of the fact that you are driving without a licence/etc. UNLESS they want to claim that you "stole" the car [grand theft auto!] & used it without their permission!

This is JUST MY OPINION, but I also think you should give SERIOUS thought to reporting the accident ... or, joining a monastery/whatever OR enlisting in the military OR volunteering for a foreign mission -- whatever "adventure" will extend beyond the statute-of-limitation.

Get back under your bridge!

Do you think there are "WANTED: pert ... Reward: $xyz" posters stuck around the place or something for you to do these things??? If you get caught, it will be through the license plate of the car you were driving; not by someone recognizing you.

P.S. I still can't believe that you are not trolling here.

good thing trolls aren't like vampires -- wooden stakes & garlic -- or werewolves -- silver bullets -- trolls can be killed with a t-ball bat!
