Hello All,
I was riding my scooter and then a bus finished picking up passengers and turned right. I am sure he did not see me as he was concentrating on the bus in front of him, so as not to hit him. He turned right and did not give me way, and it was a near miss collusion near the front of the bus. I emergency braked and lost my balance and fell down.
The bus continued driving and did not stop. I stood up, picked up my scooter and followed him to the next bus stop. I parked in front of the bus and asked him to open the doors, which he refused to open them until I started banging harder and harder on the door, until he finally opened them. I went in and start asking him loudly why he did not give way and that he nearly killed me.
Long story short, I was angry but did not use any bad language or even hit the driver. All I did was shout as stated above and then I asked for his ID. He pointed to the bus number which is written, so I took a picture of the bus number and the transit ID which is displayed. Then I left the bus and went to police station to report it.
I was informed that as there is no damage or casualties and the police will not interfere and it is a matter for Transport NSW, which I did. I reported to Transport NSW. I asked what will happen to the bus driver and they said they will deal with it internally and will not disclose to me what action taken.
I am very angry as this guy nearly killed me.
I would like to know if I can upgrade or change from a traffic incident to attempted murder for the following reasons:
He did not stop: same basis as if a car is driving and someone crossed the road from an area which is not a crossing, so a driver can not just run him down because that person did not cross at a traffic lights....
Also, as he did not stop, he did not prevent the traffic from stopping. If he stopped, the traffic would have stopped, but because he did not stop, the traffic kept going on which caused risk on my life as a possibility of being run down by coming vehicles.
The other reason is fleeing the incident location - he should have stayed to see what happens and not just drive off without caring. He did see that I fell down. I knew that when I was talking to him on the bus and he mentioned there is give way sign on the back of the bus.
For the reasons I stated above, can i upgrade from incident to attempted murder?
I thank you all for your comments.
