Re: just been hit by a bus.

Im starting to think i gave out the wrong email address, not a single picture back yet, will phone the old bill and see if they can get some cctv footage, i was in the bigmarket so someone or something should have seen it happen..

Re: just been hit by a bus.

Also give them the names and addresses you got of all the witnesses. How are your hips feeling today?

Re: just been hit by a bus.

sorry to hear about the off mate, ive had the same type of thing happen to me a few times, most bus drivers seem to have the same " im bigger than you, get out my way " driving style. (sorry if anyone here is a bus driver)

Re: just been hit by a bus.

there fine today thanks was out on the bike from 09:00 till 13:00 and didnt really feel it to much it is stiff but no bruising, just glad i was on the bike today and not on a cold slab..

Not to sure what to do about this accident, cant be bothered to claim, I just want the pictures from the witnesses, should I inform my insurance company or just leave it..?I mean am I meant to tell them even though im not going to do anything about it..

Re: just been hit by a bus.

I'd bloody claim, new lid and indicators are something you shouldn't have to pay for if it's his fault.
Like GG said (i think) buses tend to have a video rolling on board of what's happening in front of them, well newer ones anyway, for insurance reasons/crashes - should make a good watch! pulling over,setting off, SPLAT.

Hope yer feelin ok

Re: just been hit by a bus.

surely the police should of been informed of his driving without due care and attention? its worth claiming a new £200 lid off him and to have the bike looked for damage you cant see, get a new indicator put on, they can polish the bike up with its in the dealership as well.

How to request CCTV footage

You have the right to access images of yourself that may have been recorded by a CCTV camera system. This is because the Data Protection Act of 1998 means that public bodies like local councils need to make any personal data available to you if you request it. Personal data is information that relates to an individual and is held by the public body.

You will need to make a request in writing to the owner of the CCTV system. The details of the owner are usually written on a sign attached to the camera. You will need to give them enough information to identify you, for example a specific date and time, and a description of yourself and your clothing. They may charge you a fee of up to £10 for a copy of the footage.

If you contact a public body that holds CCTV footage of you, they must give you a copy of those images within 40 days. They may send you an edited version of the CCTV footage to protect the identities of other people shown in the footage.

Re: just been hit by a bus.

I think it should be pursued because there are some people that don't learn from their mistakes and next time, the rider/pedestrian may not be so lucky!

Re: just been hit by a bus.

will call the bus company in the morning..
