The Valver Was Back For A Day Before It Gt Wrote Off =[

not many people saw it in the flesh...only a few at the cliosport meet last week. =[

can say that again.
even worse when you watch it get crushed and you know the 2 months you worked all day everyday to afford enough to buy it...and the further 2 months working silly hours to insure it was a waste of time....

absolutely gutted for you!
did i read this wrong, or did you say that you can't do anything about the truck running you off the road?

no you read it right drhowser....cant do f**k all about it.
even with my witness's it would be deemed as my fault.

the thing that made me think about it was that you said the driver claimed you were racing with your mates. if he knew that then he must have been watching you in his mirrors. so, he is either lying or he deliberately pulled out on you? just a thought.

bare in mind we were in convoy of 15 cars....you always get the dicks in them! loads of people went booting up the motorway...whilst about 4 of us stayed behind.

he has 0 witness's to prove his story.

i have 4 witness's who were random motorists who stopped to help....

you should go to citizens advice if you haven't already. obviously there is the thing about the driver behind being to blame in a rear ender. but you might find you have a case for due care and attention/careless driving from the lorry driver.
it has got to be worth looking into?

had a similar thing happen to me i was half way past a lorry when it decided to overtake a tractor.
had about 3 inches between me and the barrier and me and the lorry luckily he noticed me and anchored up was bloody scary

ask at citizens advice, you might be able to phone them? i think the fact that the driver claims to know you were racing, yet still pulled out on you contradicts himself. if so he has lied in his statement, which would definately give you an opening.
i'm just going on what has been said on here, but i would definately go and ask the questions. if you have grounds to start a civil case it costs almost nothing, and you would have a good chance of the haulage company paying out to end the whole thing.
