Thanks for the heads up. I hope to start cycling through that area once the doctor gives the all clear after a broken ankle.Huff&Puff wrote:I agree redned, but I can live in hope. Unfortunately cops aren't interested unless your dead, then they may look into it. Looks like I'll have to invest in a helmont cam. I have been thinking about for some time now.

I've often thought about going for a ride south of Rockingham and doing that same route.
I assume you're going east along Safety Bay Road, over Ennis Ave, past the train station on the right, then up the PSP?

Do they treat motor vehicle crashes with the same disdain?

Needs to be reported, obviously, I presume that's been done. All the best for the recovery Huff&Puff!

I read a horrific set of circumstances that even at it's least is careless and life threatening. However, as with many/most such posts here I am wary of accepting it at face value. Just because Huff&Puff says it, does not make it so as I see lots of stories here that are less than convincing.trailgumby wrote:The cops in your state need a rocket up them, preferably with a cluster payload.

And with police reports many interpret a cop not putting it at the top of their list of immediate todos or not to investigate regardless of minimal leads or minimal chance of prosecution as being cops not caring.
Sorry Huff&Puff, I'm not trying to offend you or call you out as your description may, indeed, be totally valid. Perhaps you have described things as they were but I have no idea who you are. And, as you will find once you have been in this forum, not everything is described fairly.
I did not note any reference to reporting the matter. I trust that you did report it as it does, as you described, pretty much makes it a no brainer to do so. And you suffered a injury. If the fuzz do nothing this time but enter it into a computer then, if the driver generates further reports then it will hopefully be looked at more seriously then.
btw Huff, welcome aboard. Rockingham and Safety Bay was my stamping ground when I was a kid, Dixon Road was as far back as the town went and when there was an easily walkable sand bar to Penguin Island. (The more cvilised "grown ups" took a ride in an army duck.)

Good luck with the clavicle. Forget the hang glider, the abseiling and the mountain climbing for a while. too But keep riding.

However, if an idiot behind the wheel wants to hit you, this can happen along any road.

SAFETY Bay grandmother Kaye Tonzing is lucky to be alive.
The 66-year-old has called on motorists to drop their “ludicrous attitude” towards cyclists after a nine-tonne truck hit her, knocking her off her bicycle into the path of traffic about 5.45am on February 12 as she completed her weekly 40km recreational cycle.
Same day, same location, same description of truck, roughly the same time.
Huff&Puff, is this you? Hope the injury's fix quick.

Are you beat me to it Roland. I was having the same thoughts. Hope all is good and the Police are being responsive.rolandp wrote:From My Community:

It just says "unmarked truck" so I am assuming not but do we know if the truck stopped?
Huff - were you riding East or West? Perhaps same driver returning?
(Edit: I see that the pic indicated hit-and-run. Clears that up.)

on the other hand if they have not then one would hope they would be seeking some detail further than your existing statement to assist in identification. if not them that would strong reason to be cynical about either their systems or their commitment.

The WA Police policy is to notify the reporter of the outcome of the report. This applies if there will be no further action or if a TIN is issued.ColinOldnCranky wrote:if they have identified the driver by now then I don't suppose they need you until or unless it is to strengthen a prosecution.
