Blue toyota damaged by hire van outside the carpet shop

[Fuschia]

On LL

I witnessed this at 10am this morning, the damaged car was WP05 EPD, a white SIXT hire van VR10 VYY hit the front driver side as it was trying to park (the van driver was chatting on his mobile)

A slim fair haired guy.

PM me if you need a witness.

Other people, anything more I should do? There was no point me putting a note on the damaged car as if the driver didn't intend to deal with it himself, he was parked right by and probably would have taken the note off.

I guess a call or email to Sixt wouldn't hurt, or maybe even letting the police know in-case that helps the van owners insurance case or something. Well done for getting the details etc.

Definitely report to police and give all details. The blue van driver, if he was holding a mobile and chatting on it whilst trying to park, has committed an offence.

[Fuschia]

I mailed sixt.

Can I report this to the police via email.. or what no do I call? I have 10,000 other things to do today...

[DirtyBox]

Definitely report to the police and make sure they understand the guy was on his mobile, no excuse for it

Try thisfor online reporting, Fuschia.

The one on LL on the same side as the police station... not far from the bottom of Whately Rd

Eh?

The car was blue, the van was white (as all SIXT vehicles are)

I have told Sixt and the police, anyway

I see what you mean but it wasn't me who said that

Did you see the driver of the Sixt van drive off and abandon the scene?

[first mate]

Hands up, it was me wot erroneously relayed the van colour- clearly eyes, brain or both need testing. Anyhow, hope they get the WHITE van driver.

No, he parked and sat in his van for a while, got out and examined the damage then went across LL. I'm not saying he didn't leave a note for the car's owner on his return, only in case he didn't, I have his details anyway.

Well done for reporting it.

(Maybe the driver of the hire van was the owner of the car too! :-S )

An update on my return from holiday, no response either from Sixt or the police....
