Update:
My brother just called me he was riding his bike home from work last night ( same night!!) and was hit by a copcar!!!!
Man!!!...there's something wrong with bicycles and cops this weekend!!!!

Wow...So we went to a theme park today...a little anxious about the rides..you know. .what if something breaks!
We had a nice time, had some thrills and were off to home.
As we arrived at home, while I was out of the car already ( friend drove)I heard a dirt bike coming down the street. REALLY FAST!!!
Suddenly he saw a cop on a bicycle and almost rode(sp?) straight into him..
He avoided the cop but lost control and hit the side of the car where my wife was just about to step out.So was my friend .
He almost ripped the back door off and buckled the front one, swirled a bit and got his control back and kept going!!! Unbelieveble he didn't fall off!!!

Damnit!! I really wanted to get him so I asked my friend if we could pursue the guy, but with a door hanging the way it did, it wasn't very safe.And he was going too fast

That's what I call a hit and run.
The speed he was going he would have cripled my wife if she had been out of the car just a bit further!!

Talk about a near death experience for her!!!
Now why did we go to a theme park to find thrills again???

Do you live in the city? Sounds like it, cop on a bike. What did the cop do/say? Take a report? Chase after the guy? Get on his radio call for backup? Dam kids on dirt bikes! Post some pics of the damage, i want to see.

I hit a car head on once it was rather drematic i bouced of the bonnet and the windshield and messed up the front of the car,not a scratch on me and i was going 60km but got in a bit of trouble.Well the cop was on a bicycle so he would of had no chance of catching him but what did the cop do?

insurance to the rescue? wow ripped of the door without falling off
lucky for your wife eh?

The cop was pretty shook up.He just stood there for a while.
I had to ask him to use the radio and get a cop on a motorbike to find him.
The guy on the bike was well in his 30's.

And yes I live in the city and dirtbikes are illegal without a lisence plate and headlights and all that.

It was dark and the guy was riding an offroad bike through narrow streets at 80-100 km/h!!!
THe cop didn't even know what he looked like or what kind of bike it was!!
I could see ( and hear) it was a 500-ish cc kawasaki.It had the typical kawasaki green.
And it's pretty sure he lives around my neighbourhood.I saw him before...might have to go "middeaval on his ass"

No damage pics, it was towed off. It will be fixed sometime this week.I'll ask if I can take a picture of the door that was ripped out, well almost..
the back door can now be openened up to the mirror in front, but it can't close anymore.

DO IT

I know revenge is tempting, but it'll end up making the situation worse. However, with a decent lawyer, I'm guessing you could get a few thousand bucks out of him.

If you decide to go after him, don't physically assult him. That would end in jail time. Plus, a pile of thermite in his front yard sounds like much more fun, anyway. Not that I'm suggesting you do that.

Peace,

or maybe on his gas tank................

Dutch laws are different.Can't really sue people for large sums.

i think he means for the damage. u can make him pay for what he did. so you cant sue him for the emotional tramua he caused your wife?

Nope.I can't sue anybody for damages either untill they find him.

well that blows, if you were here, you could: find him on your own, break his jaw, then sue him for the damages to your car, and if you were lucky, drain the rest of his cash for tramua. there was a guy here that got 2 million because he spilled mcdonalds coffee on himself and it was mcdonalds fault because they made their coffee too hot.
