If anybody hears anything pass on information to me or Naas Garda station Today at about 8.35am I was going to Mondello with the Fvee on the transporter. I went past the petrol station without topping up the FVee so I decided to to the "loop" of roads in Prsoperous to bring me back to the petrol station. I turned left at the junction near the GAA. I had to slow because a car was coming down that road. At that point I heard and felt the bang. I pulled in at the front of GAA and got out to find the right rear lights and their mounting brackets mangled. My witness who was waiting to turn right into the same road reckons the car that hit me was a dark maybe black SEAT That was the hit and as you gather from the title of this post the driver did not stop. So if anyone hears anything pass it on to me or Naas Garda station Thanks Gerard

You possibly won't be able to, but if you could lie in wait so to speak next Friday there is a strong chance that you might get them again (presuming they are regular commuters)

That is my only consolation. The level of bent metal on the trailer would hopefully indicate a significant amount of damage on the car |

This happend me last year, guy did this with his Megane wing mirror on Abbey St and drove off.... I went straight to Store St. and they told me that there were over 100 '99 Blue Megane Saloons in the area and they wouldn't look at the cameras in the area as they were pointing the wrong way I had to shell out for a new wing in the end. Hope Naas are more proactive than Store St. and they track down the idiot Gerard.

Got a price of Ł79.60 inc VAT plus carraige from the UK for the metal parts demolished. I might have to beat out the old part s for the time being. |

Thats crap Ger. But I'd be certain the other car came off worse looking at
the photos. You're lucky it's not worse. It'd be nice if the Gardai could get them but unlikely. A similar thing happened to me last week. We were parked on the road in Tallaght outside a shop. I was double parked but had my hazzards on and could be seen for 300 yards each way. I was collecting five 7 foot tall glass display cabinets which were all standing up in the trailer about to be tied down and as you can imagine not the most stable things in the world. Just getting the straps we hear a CRUNCH. A girl in a Micra with the L plates up hit the outside wheel arch with her front left wing. We ran around just as she tried to drive forwards again and we had to shout at her to stop. She was very flustered. We told her to turn the wheel to the left and reverse so not do any more damage. So, of course, she turns RIGHT and reverses back. More crunch. Luckily the cabinets stayed up. Her front wing was badly scraped and dented. Then she drove off. No real damage to the trailer though. Wasn't in perfect nick anyway. Edited by flyingalexf68 |

It amazes me. If they can see the vehicle that the trailer is attached to, the trailer becomes invisible. You probably don't get as many idiots running into the back of horse boxes
