 I have just come home from a trip into Otaki village. I was walking past the post shop when a woman in a very new looking SUV, either BMW or Mercedes backed up to get out of the park she was in. Now forgive me if I'm wrong but I am of the opinion that all modern vehicles of this type are equipped with either reversing cameras or at the very least sensors. Whatever, she backed straight into a motorcycle that was quite legally parked in the space behind. She must have known she had done so but she just drove off.However it didn't go undetected,not only did I see it but another man and a woman saw her do it. We called out for her to stop and she floored it, hurtled off down the street as if all the demons in hell were after her.There will be consequences though, the woman who saw it got her number. The bike lost it's left hand mirror and front indicator and the owner wasn't very impressed at all and was heading around to the police station to report it. Had a similar thing happen to me in the supermarket park a few months ago. cost me nearly $600 to have the rear bumper fixed!!

Good on you, so pleased she wont get away with it. So many occurrences like that, which brasses me off so much. Well done. Karen
