If you visit another police station, they'll listen sympathetically, try to persuade you not to bother, then advise that you'll have to visit the local one anyway.</p> <p>I'd suggest that this time-wasting step is skipped...</p> <p>Robert </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14227#post-177989 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 11:11:32 +0000 dougal 177989@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm fine; he only attempted to hit me for the amusement of his passenger, rather than succeeding. Had the wherewithal to write down reg# and company name while it was fresh. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14227#post-177988 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 11:01:29 +0000 SRD 177988@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>sounds really horrible. hope you get decent response from the police. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14227#post-177987 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 10:57:14 +0000 Kenny 177987@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hope you're ok. What happened? I appreciate you may be unable to say, depending upon circumstances / investigations. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14227#post-177985 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 10:40:08 +0000 dougal 177985@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yep, I've emailed LRT already. Will be reporting the incident at latest this evening back in Edinburgh otherwise lunchtime today. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14227#post-177984 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 10:34:09 +0000 condor2378 177984@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Dougal</p> <p>Lothian Buses CCTV will be held on the bus DVR for 3 to 5 days depending on the model so if you wish to proceed with this then you'll need to move quick. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14227#post-177983 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 10:30:54 +0000 dougal 177983@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yeah, there was a Lothian Bus behind me. I've tried phoning 101 but it's a pointless exercise of being on hold for five minutes before being told you can't actually report crimes on their "report a crime" hotline. Am in two minds about reporting to my nearest police station ASAP (Linlithgow) or waiting until I'm home this evening and reporting to Gayfield Square which is local to me and the incident. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14227#post-177982 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 10:20:27 +0000 wingpig 177982@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Go and check out the area for CCTV. Were any Lothian Buses passing nearby? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14227#post-177976 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 09:33:36 +0000 dougal 177976@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>This morning struggling uphill on Haddington Place at ~7.30 (16 Jan). I have the details of the van but no video evidence. I was passed by one other cyclist who I hope may be a forum member. </p>
