drunk driver hit me
« on: 22 August 2012, 01:39 »
hey, only joined this forum 2 days ago but my Golf was hit by a drunk driver earlier tonight while i was sitting at the lights with my mum, girlfriend and 16 month old daughter in the car  :angry:  I heard him coming cause car was bouncing off limiter cause he had his foot flat on accelerator and didn't hit the brakes at all. Turned round and seen him just a split second before he hit us. Apparently he was 6 times the drink drive limit!!!!!!!  :angry: Thankfully no one was too badly hurt just sore necks and heads. I already had a broken collar bone from a motorbike accident 3 weeks ago so that has got a bit worse I think. Never been so angry in my whole life   :angry:

Can you say jail time?!

hell yeah, I will be bankrupting him!! Can't believe someone would get into a car that drunk. If he hadn't hit us he would have hit and maybe killed someone. Haven't slept all night from neck pain and also still too annoyed about the whole thing to sleep  :angry:

Get yourself and the family up to A&E mate. I had a moral arguement when someone went into me a couple of months ago, but went to the hospital because I was genuinely in pain. Turns out I've got two chipped vertebrae, and an acute fracture of one. I'd have been fuming too mate, with a young un' in the car, it doesn't bear thinking about what could have happened if he'd have been going faster. Glad your all ok though bar the neck injuries.

OMFG!!!!.. First off, sooooo glad you are all OK.  With who you had in the car at the time I would have struggled not to beat the living daylights out of him!...

Gutted about that car too, you've not had it long.   :cry:

I hope that tw@t get's what he deserves and I hope you are well compensated!

Glad your ok, how come you didnt kill him?

Lucky he stayed about, I was hit twice 6 months apart (to the day), both idiots driving out of the pub! both with my son in the car, both fled the scene before the police got there, neither got done for drink driving either.....

Thanks for all the sympathy and good wishs people, much appreciated. Still so angry about what happened. As for killing him I was going to. As soon as it happened I jumped outta the car and started shouting and screaming at him but there was a whole crowd of people and then I heard my daughter crying so all my attention and focus went on her. Would love to do serious damage to him but the pathetic excuse of a man he was just isn't worth wasting the energy on.
