I’ll give a précis of what occurred:
driving home on a sunny Sunday morning after walking the dog I stopped at a road junction to join a slightly larger road. A small 4x4 car drove past followed by a black cbr600. I pulled out after the bike went past.
50 yards later the bike swerved, accelerated past the 4x4 and then gesticulating at the driver pulled ahead and stopped his bike. Thus preventing the car from going further. The rider got off the bike and continued waving his arms in the air in a menacing manner.
I pulled my car alongside the 4x4 and was about to say to the elderly driver that I’d call the police. Whilst alongside the biker pushed between us, banged my car door and door glass.
I saw red and decided to get out to confront him and drove past and stopped the car further along the road. As I got to where he was still having words with the driver he realised I was approaching, turned towards me and.......
fuck me it’s a girl!
I’m not going to engage in a confrontation with a female as it’s an unequal battle. So I turned and went back to my car. As I did a couple of cyclists came along but had not been close prior to that.
I drove home.
a couple of days later a pair of coppers came to my house for a chat. They asked me what had happened as a complaint had been made about me and what did I have to say about it. I told them the above. At no time did I speak to her at all. they said she’d suggested I’d run over her feet and driven away. *** failure to stop etc. is an offence, I seem to recall? ***
at no time was I under caution or asked to provide a statement, it was simply a chat.
I’ve not heard anything else subsequent to this that occurred 8 weeks ago, certainly nothing from the Police.
Imagine my surprise on getting home from holiday to a letter from my insurers asking for information about an incident I’d been involved in, please provide details etc.
I phoned them and said wtf, let me know more. Apparently she has made a claim for damages for a pair of boots I’ve ‘driven over’. But not through her insurance company, directly to mine.
How the hell does she have my insurance company details.
how should I respond to this as I don’t simply want my insurance company to say sod it and pay up and claim my excess from me to settle it?
