Nothing is being done about it.

A few weeks age a school mum was hit by this lady in her car- the driver was looking down, music blaring and she was lighting a fag, she clipped a woman who was waiting to get into her car- dragging her down the road for a few meters when she then fell to the side of the road. The driver panicked and drove off returning about ten minutes later. Myself and some other parents helped the woman who was hit and said we would be witnesses. The hit lady then had a very heated conversation with the driver.

Turns out the lady was pleading with the other because she had no insurance and explained that's why she drove off.

The mum is driving recklessly still and has not been stopped. I have reported her to the police and then have said they will get a PCSO to come down to the school and still nothing. Other parents have complained to the school who in turn have said it is not a school matter so they cannot become involved.

Is there any further I can take this? I'm bloody cross, what if she hits a child next time? There is a rumour that is unsubstantiated that this lady does not even have a licence. If I did this I'd not get away with it. I pay tax, insurance, to service my car.

Fuming!

SGB, the fact that you don't own a car speaks volumes. If you did, you might have some idea just how dangerous bald tyres are. You would also perhaps be aware that this cannot be a case where the woman has been charged with the potential offences of driving an untaxed uninsured and dangerous car but is allowed to keep driving it whilst awaiting a court date: she simply wouldn't be allowed to get back in that car unless and until she had sorted the problems out. In fact, the police have powers to seize and destroy uninsured cars.

The injured woman might be able to claim compo. Show her this link, that might do it!

Meanwhile, keep on at the police.
