awwww - its ok, we dont mind you chucking your dummy out every now and then........just dont make a habit of it.

Oooooooh......good job i like you innit.....else i be doling out my "spethul" punishment Traffic warden indeed - methinx you have uniforms on the brain m'dear What about this one then: And no coronaries in the forum please - i dont do resuscitation............

She would probably kill you

Yeah but have you seen the Thai women when they hit 40 - they look like they have literally hit 40

Well go on then lol

Really? If the reason you're dog being killed by a speeding driver is the reason why you seem so bitter and angry, then i suggest you get yourself some counselling. Obviously this has affected you quite deeply - and before you start and rip me to pieces im not having a pop, i am making a genuine suggestion - but you seem unable to cope with this and maybe some professional help would be good for you. I am genuinely sorry your dog died in this way, but take a step back for a moment eh. Yep ok if you say so. But this is both idiotic and very very worrying. If you REALLY were in this situation and you REALLY do behave as you have led us to believe you do, then again, please seek out some help, because clearly there is a major problem. Salford is a shit hole as you will no doubt know.

You have NO idea

And our Akitas were show dogs! Trained to the highest standards as required by Crufts and the Kennel Club. Whether a dog is trained by Dr Roger Mugford, Mic Martin or Cesar Millan - in the eyes of the law this means jack shit. And at 15 months old the dog would still be classed as a pup - therefore unpredictable. As i keep saying - your dog was not on a lead and that is what counts as far as the law is concerned. No he shouldnt have been speeding Yes he should have stopped But because your dog wasn't restrained - THATS what makes a difference. You could have been in serious shit for that if the driver had stopped and pursued it himself - wrong as it may seem. What point is it you are trying to make? I cant see one apart from in your eyes the driver had committed an offence and the police did bugger all - there was bugger all they could do anyway! No i am not trying to piss you off but for fucks sake - you're the one going on about how you dont ride anymore because your mates were knocked off their bikes and your dog was killed by a speeding driver, and that you would rather go out for walks with your dog than risk your life on the road, and how you're so tough you can tell someone with a knife to your throat to fuck off - I think you have a few SERIOUS issues you need to deal with before having a pop at me for giving you some facts that you didn't like. If its too upsetting for you then stop bloody mentioning it in every other post you make!!!!!! Anyway - this is a bike site not a damned dog site so back to bikes now if you please. mason - i agree with you 100%, but there are folk who DON'T think like that and wont ever think like that. It just means the rest of us have to be extra cautious. Ride/drive like you're driving/riding for everyone else on the road and dont take any risks.

Awwww honey. This is shitty, BUT you didnt do anything majorly wrong that cant be avoided next time. Book yourself a retest ASAP. <BIG HUGS>

And you can prove a dog was BEHAVING OUT OF CHARACTER how? It makes NO difference whatsoever. Your dog was not on a lead - end of, and that is how the law views it. If it had been restrained it would have been a different kettle of fish. You can NEVER EVER know what a dog is going to do no matter how well you THINK you know it. My ex-husband bred Japanese Akitas and is extremely knowledgable on all things dog. One of our very soft and loving bitches who had never shown any aggressive tendencies in the 8 years we had had her suddenly turned viciously on him one day - for no reason whatsoever that we could see. We have a very large Dogue De Bordeaux who is a fabulous dog in every way, but would i trust him 100% and say that i truly know him - would i fuck. And i never would with any dog no matter how long i had had them. Dogs can turn at the drop of hat for no apparent reason so proving they were behaving out of character is a hard thing to do. And yes - i do know the law.

I never said i knew anything about what happened, but i do know the law. Your dog was not reatrained therefore YOU were responsible. You know what fuck it. You come on here banging on about how fuckin pissed off you are about your dog being killed and how the driver committed an offence blah blah blah. I just pointed out that the driver did not commit an offence if the dog was NOT restrained - which by your own admission it wasnt and you have the nerve to tell me to leave it alone and swear at me! I am extremely sorry you lost your dog in this way and am in no way condoning the actions of the driver but dont you dare have a fuckin pop at me - in a forest or not the law is the fuckin law and YOU WERE RESPONSIBLE for that dog not being on a damned lead. when there were vehicles about Its called RESPONSIBLE DOG OWNERSHIP

Yes it is. If your dog was not restrained you are responsible in the eyes of the law. The Road Traffic Act (1988) states "A person who causes or permits a dog to be on a designated road without the dog being held on a lead is guilty of an offence". Therefore if your dog was not on a lead and in the road there is nothign that can be done, and in reality you could have been in serious shit if the driver had pursued this. the driver should have stopped and given his details to you at the time of the accident if you were about. If you werent he should have reported it to the police within 24 hours. If you gave his reg number to the police he would have had a bollocking for not doing so. Hitting a dog IS different to hitting a person IF IT WAS NOT RESTRAINED.

If a dog is not on a lead and on the road when the car hit it, it's the dog owners fault and the police won't investigate im afraid. Dogs (and cats) are not like people when involved in an accident -- it is not considered hit and run, nor can the driver be charged with anything even if he had stayed around.

And this thread is almost 3 months old. Added that Handai the forum troll has not been seen on here for a couple of months wouldnt it be better to leave it alone rather than resurrect it cos he aint gonna answer.

What he said. I put both me feet down anyway - always have done, but then again i am a shortarse and both feet give me extra confidence so i know im not going over

Thats cos us Mancs only drink quality liquor

My OH is a bodybuilder. If you PM me with what you want to know and how old you are he said he will let me know what you should be taking etc when he gets home from work.

Now that is rather tasty

Very. If someone tried to hit you with a MACHETE on a public road then the police should have done something. I cannot undestand why they didnt and why you have not complained that they didnt. If this was captured on camera it would have been dealt with and swiftly. Section 1 of the Prevention of Crime Act 1953 outlaws the possession in any public place of an offensive weapon "without lawful authority or reasonable excuse", therefore if this was on camera and you reported this to the police then it should have been looked at. If not then you should have been asking SERIOUS questions as to why such a serious offence was not investigated and put a complaint in to the Police Complaints Authority. This would have gone all the way to court without a doubt. The CPS states that where there is sufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction, the public interest will normally require a prosecution. - if it was caught on the motorway cameras that is sufficient evidence. Where the evidence discloses that the defendant has used a knife to cause injury/threaten violence/cause fear, or has carried a knife in a way which contravenes a possession offence (which he clearly did), there will be a number of compelling public interest factors in favour of prosecution which should be accorded proper weight. These include the following: a conviction is likely to result in a significant sentence: [use and carrying offences; see guideline case of Celaire and Poulton 20031 Cr.App.R (S) 610 and the Magistrates' courts' sentencing guidelines]; a weapon was used or violence threatened during the commission of another offence; the offence is widespread in the area where it was committed; the offender was a ringleader; evidence that the offence was premeditated; (obviouslt because he stopped and got out with the INTENTION of trying to hit you with a machete therefore he had thoguht about it previously) there are grounds for believing the offence is likely to be repeated; prosecution would have a significant positive impact on maintaining community confidence; or a culture of carrying weapons encourages violence and may lead to more serious criminal behaviour. I would chase this up if i were you.

If you ask nicely.......i'll do it for you for free.......

Bunch o' fekkin pervs

Oxford are about the best. Try something like THIS

Also see my reply to your otehr post regarding this HERE

Write them a letter. Something like this: Dear Sir I am writing regarding my Yamaha XVS125 (reg No: xxxx xxx) which i brought into your garage on 00.0.2008 for an M.O.T. I had booked this appointment a month before on 00.0.2008. I informed the mechanics that the front tyre would need changing and was told that it would be done in 1 day. 6 days later i am still waiting for my motorcycle. I have called your garage several times, and have been told that a Dunlop tyre for the front, which will match the back, cannot be found, but i have been offered a Pirelli tyre for the front. I am not at all happy about this and am finding it a little difficult to understand why it has taken so long to sort this out, and why no one has contacted me to keep me informed of what has happened. I rely on my motorcycle as my main form of transport to and from work and have had to pay out for public transport over the past week - something i would not have had to do had my motorcycle been back with me as promised. I expect my motorcycle to be returned to me by (insert date here). I also expect some form of compensation for the length of time you have kept my motorcycle and the fact that you have failed to keep me updated, despite promising it would be back with me in 1 day. I look forward to your response. Yours Mr Hugoverdog If you put it in writing you can take it further if you do not get a satisfactory answer.
