Got rammed by a Merc MPV... 3 times... then he drove off - SV650.org

10-06-09, 08:31 PM

Riding home from work tonight on the A3, and just as I was going through one of the speed cameras, a Black Merc MPV (reg X457 DLH) went into the back of me!

I was a bit shocked - he backed off a bit (he probably wasn't watching) and I slowed down and pointed for him to pull over. He then accelerated and rammed me. Twice.

I pulled to the side of the road, and he drove off. I caught up with him and asked him to pull over and he just shouted some abuse and then ignored me.

I HATE idiots like that on the road. Police will be paying him a visit, but no witnesses stopped - that annoyed me just as much.

Bloody hell. Hope you are ok, can't believe no one stopped to help you out.

Don't know how I stayed on, but I was upright and he rammed the back tyre. Scared the crap out of me.

Didn't damage me or the bike, although police have said I need to get it checked out in case it's out of alignment.

I had a similar thing a couple of years ago but thankfull it was only the once she hit me and we were only doing 10-15mph in slow moving traffic at the time.
Scary as hell isn't it

Turned out she was on the phone, but again i got the same attitude from her, shes screaming at me to get out of her way while i'm pointing at the side of the road for her to pull over.

Police who attended were pathetic sadly and just let her drive off and proceeded to try and give me a road asfety lecture.

Glad you kept it upright mate!!

Jesus! Thanks **** you were alright, wtf are some people thinking? Hope he/she gets caught.

What a *****.

Good for staying on 3 times!

Hope he gets more than a slap on the wrists.

F**king hell.

What a complete ***t. I certainly hope he gets done for that. Time for compensation for the shock, I think.

I take it you've spoken to the insurance too.
