Report by phone to 0131 338 5844 or email <a href="mailto:trams@edinburgh.gov.uk">trams@edinburgh.gov.uk</a> or write to Tram Depot, 1 Myreton Drive, Edinburgh.</p> <p>Please report such incidents even if they were in the past and you have only just discovered this reporting method, and even if you have already notified the police or anyone else. These contacts can also be used for any queries about the tram or tramlines.</p> <p>Please also report your crash to Spokes – for example, if you email as above to report your crash please cc: to Spokes. <a href="mailto:spokes@spokes.org.uk">spokes@spokes.org.uk</a></p> <p>If you are considering making a claim for damages – Spokes has prepared an <a href="http://www.spokes.org.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/1301-Tramline-crash-claiming-v5-final.pdf">information sheet on claiming for a tramline-related incident</a> [pdf 106k]</em></p> <p>From: <a href="http://www.spokes.org.uk/documents/public-transport/tram/" rel="nofollow">http://www.spokes.org.uk/documents/public-transport/tram/</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18365#post-266583 Wed, 15 Nov 2017 11:47:32 +0000 Broony84 266583@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Nice one thanks.<br /> Is it worth contacting the council? I've witnessed a lot of poor driving here recently and believe the road layout does not help </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18365#post-266577 Wed, 15 Nov 2017 10:59:56 +0000 I were right about that saddle 266577@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yes, the most important thing is for you to get yourself checked out. Adrenalin covers injuries beautifully, that's what it's for. Expect to get shaky and stiff later on. Maybe just go home and have a hot bath?</p> <p>Secondly - get the bike checked. Tell them you were in a collision and want the frame and wheels checked for trueness.</p> <p>Good luck! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18365#post-266576 Wed, 15 Nov 2017 10:55:34 +0000 Frenchy 266576@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Go into a police station (or possibly just phone 101), tell them you want to report a road traffic collision. </p> <p>Get your bike checked out, too, and be aware that any injuries may not become apparent for a few days.</p> <p>Hope you don't have any problems, but don't delete that video! Always possible the driver will find some damage on their car and convince themselves it was your fault. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18365#post-266573 Wed, 15 Nov 2017 10:42:55 +0000 Broony84 266573@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I had a collision this morning with a car at Haymarket. The car basically cut me up and I ploughed into the side/back of it. After a few expletives when I was lying on the deck I spoke with the driver and they were very apologetic. I told them to be more careful, told them I was fine and we went our separate ways.</p> <p>How do I go about reporting the incident? (purely to highlight the dangers of that section of road/turn from the Dalry Road junction to West Maitland Street)</p> <p>I managed to capture the incident on my go-pro. </p>
