@Jaylee, I understand
Lol I get what you mean, I don’t drive but I Cycle a lot back last year when I got knocked off my bike due to a driver reversing into me. This did get reported but he never got traced and I stupidly forgot to get his details that day. I didn’t make a big deal out of it as I didn’t get hurt and everyone’s makes mistakes. My mum offered to pay my bikes damage which was £15 that day and well that driver has dents in his car that he has to Pay which was his fault. This would of been different If I got hurt, I could tell in his face that he was sorry. Although he never apologized. But becuse I only had pain in my ankle but too the point I couldn’t walk on it. Bystanders called paramedics (bexusse it felt very painful and i couldn’t walk on it) I got checked and the paramedics didn’t say anything just to keep an eye on it. (My blood sugar didn’t help I was perfectly fine before and well I guess your sugar gets messed up in those incidents. I could hardly talk to anyone. ) I guess i just twisted it. Anyway I haven’t been hit since luckily. However when people decide to damage my bike on purpose that just annoys me and like the 4th I don’t know why I didn’t call the police straight away. I guess I was afraid I would get in trouble as when I saw my bike was damage d I kicked there car. They originally tried to assault me but I used my bike as a block and I told them if you do anything, I’ll damage your. I wasn’t going too I just wanted them to realise. However they didn’t and them started damaging my bike and tried to steal it either they saw my sticker on the bike saying it was registered, it was already damaged so they couldn’t ride and as soon as I said I had a camera they damaged it more
And drove off I did kick there car as a
Warning. (My friends said they were probaly drunk as it turns out to be the same car that Almost hit me before but didn’t luckily) They didn’t say anything. For some reason mt fight response got set off and then I just started kicking things around as i was struggling to
Talk etc.. it was my way off asking for help so I suppose this was more rage or both but was able to eventually explain after they drove off but by that point I was too late. It’s lucky my road bike wasn’t expensive as some road bikes are over a million pounds. I got mine lucky when it was on sale. Unfortunately reporting this the case got filed because I didn’t know the person and didn’t know if there were any witnesses even though the incident Is on camera and I got his number plate. Yeah it costs me £181.99+ a new water bottle + a new saddle so that’s around £200 or more. I haven’t got the new water bottle or saddle yet. But things could off been worse they could of hurt me if I didn’t use my bike as a block.
I get what your saying but as long as there’s no damage as far as I know it’s not illegal if there not driving and there’s no damage. Unless there’s a law I don’t know.
Interesting, it’s hard to tell if it’s that or my PDA or both when police have become involved. but perhaps it’s both. Because if things happen not to the point that it sets my flight or fight response off. That’s probably why but when it does set my flight fight response off that’s when I think the PDA gets in the way.
. Before and when I have eventually been able to explain to police they seem to be aware it’s soemthing to do with my mental health that’s why I’m seeing a phycologist as they referred me and then my mum knew one and it’s also why I’ve never been arrested but I’m on my last chance now. So it seems like some officers are more aware then others
You know there’s worse damage you can do anyway. I assume the more important areas like the glass areas and lights are a lot more expensive as you wouldn’t be allowed to drive without them. Like it would be worse to damage a shops or house window. But anyway I’ve never damaged anything as far as I know except for tiny stratches when i get stratches on my bike I just paint over them or ignore them hence why I said stratches can
Be painted over because they can be. I’m not saying it’s right but I’m saying there worse damage you can do. I get damaged are classed as criminal damage but if you don’t damage anything how Is it illegal?
