My partner resides in Everthorpe Road, In the early hours of Friday morning we heard a large smash outside her place, looked out could not see anything. I was awoken by a neighbour in the morning who stated he had seen a grey fiat punto come around the corner with a damaged nearside front wing and flat tyre. the vehicle lost control and hit my parked car with its front off side causing extensive damage, the vehicle limped on another 50yards and parked at the junction of Everthorpe & Oglander, the driver( a female) got out and locked the car and left. I inspected the offending Fiat and it was secure and not barrelled( Not stolen). I informed the police and my insurance company. A full fail to stop accident report has been given to the police. The car is not stolen and is fully insured. My insurance company have contacted the Fiats insurance company. My car has extensive damage and is undriveable, may be scrapped by the Insurance company, I have not been able to get a hire vehicle from my insurance company as the name of the driver is not known at the time of reporting.I have therefore been unable to work. Today my insurance company informed me that the Fiats insurance company have contacted them. The female driver has stated that she was driving along when my vehicle which was travelling at speed and being driven on the wrong side of the road, hit her vehicle and drove off.!!They are therefore disputing liability. I find this most strange given I was in bed asleep with my partner at the time.

My reason for posting is as follows, I believe the Fiat was involved in an accident prior to hitting my car which caused the damage to the drivers nearside and burst tyre, as detailed by the witness.The Fiat driver ( Probably drunk) has then driven off at speed from this accident in a bid to evade the police or provide details, they have driven as far as they could until they hit my vehicle. I have searched the local area, Copelstone road and nearby to see if there are any damaged vehicles parked up that the Fiat may have hit but to no avail. If your know of a car that was hit as detailed above please message me and I will provide you with the details of the Fiat, paint samples will prove the Fiat is the culprit, and at least your insurance company will have someone to try to make a claim against. I am sure the driver of the Fiat is local, the Fiat is still parked where she left it.

Yeah she did not bank on the independant witness and also half her valance caught in my wheel arch, showing that her car went into side of mine,snapping track rod which could not have been done if I had hit her then driven off. Hopefully she will get arrested for fraud!!

    • If you are against the increase in fuel duty then you are surly against fuel duty full stop.  It has not kept up with inflation, I'm talking about getting it back on track.  Ultimately road user charging is the solution. Labour will probably compromise on agricultural land inheritance by raising the cap so it generally catches the Clarksons of the world who are not bothered about profits from land beyond, in his case, income from a highly successful TV series and the great publicity for the farm shop and pub
    • Were things much simpler in the 80/90s? I remember both my girls belonging to a 6th Form Consortium which covered Sydenham Girls, Forest Hill Boys and Sedgehill off Bromley Road. A level classes were spread across the 3 schools - i remember Forest Hill boys coming to Sydenham Girls for one subject (think it was sociology or psychology ) A mini bus was provided to transport pupils to different sites, But I guess with less schools being 'managed' by the local authority, providers such as Harris etc have different priorities. 
    • There are teachers who have extensive experience of working with children with SEN but cannot access training to become SEN assessor (sorry cannot think of the correct title - senior moment ) as schools do not have the budget to undertake this. 
    • In certain cultures, it is the norm to have a period of singing at certain times after a death.
