Taxi "love" tap

[Guest Jamaica Mechanic]

I had a taxi give me a little tap in the behind the other day. Just enough to push me forward a foot or so.

 

We both stopped and got out. The taxi driver looked at my bumper and said "No damage, no damage" ignoring the 50c coin sized star that he had just marked.

 

The he got back into his cab and drove off. No license produced.

 

I reported him to the police but nothing has happened so far.

What are you expecting to happen? Did you also try calling the taxi company?

Reported to police...

 

I did report the matter to the local police. They told me to call back in a few weeks, and I did. No progress.

I will call again in a few days and see what happens.

Progress...

 

Finally the girl who answered the phone at my local Police Station took pity on my and told me it was being handled by another station.

She gave me the phone number of the station, the name of the constable handling the matter and the COPS event number.

I rang but the constable is not available till tomorrow night.

Phone call not returned...

 

My last call to the police officer handling the matter has not been returned.

Taxi:Letter of demand following not at fault accident

 

I have received a letter of demand from the solicitors for a taxi company asking for payment for an accident for which my insurance company has determined that I am not at fault.

 

Has any other Forum member had this experience, and what was the end result?

Its not the Cops fault....no offense Jamaca Mechanic but i wouldnt have allowed him to leave before i got his details. That way you would have had no issues at all because you can prove who he is.

 

Just my opinion
