You can clearly see the guy inside, and once he's bought his food, he can be seen at the door pointing at me and 'gesticulating'.
Just need to ID him now. He was the passenger of the car he got into, so the reg will only ID the driver. I'm not sure what the situation is, if the driver refuses to tell the Police the name of the goon who threw coffee on me.
Anyone got any thoughts there ?Science adjusts it’s beliefs based on what’s observed.

He's probably the sort that won't even care if he has to go to court or prison.0 -

I seem to remember a few years ago someone suing McD's for serving scalding drinks. Can't remember the outcome, it was probably "Do you want fries with that?"0 -

The Rozzers will probably be able to work out who he is anyway if he's got any 'hstory'.
Failing that, I imagine that the driver will immediately tell the Rozzers the name of the tw@t.
Rozzer: 'Ello, ello, ello. What's all this then. You seem to have assisted a caucasian male assault perpetrate a vicious assault of han innocent member of the general public. Give us his name or we'll bang you up for some trumped-up charge that you're too stoopid to understand.
Getaway Driver: All right, all right. You've got me banged to rights and no mistake. I aint no grass, but he's called Dave 'The Costa Killer' Dawson. Just don't tell 'im I told ya or he'll slice me up good an proper!
Rozzer: Much abliged Sir.0 -

That's why I'm glad I live in Britain and not USA.
It's bad enough what's already happened and Matt, I hope the irksome tw@t gets what he deserves. But Nutter_bed to express a desire that such altercations should end up in a person being shot (beit dead or not) is just a rediculous escalation of violence. People would be being shot all over the place everyday not good.Tail end Charlie

Matt,
Seems to me it serves you right on two counts:
- Driving and not cycling - had you cycled to McD's you would not have gone through the drive-in
- ordering a coffee from McD - going to such a place can only end in trouble as it places you in cose proximity to muppets such as your new matey :?
Once all that is considered good to know no long term damage is done and that el federales are taking it seriously although had this happened to you on a bike rather than sat in a car you know they would have told you it was all your own fault and that Rule 5 applies

What a complete and utter w&*ker!! Hope you're ok Matt - and the scumbag has now been nicked.
Any more news??0 -

No more news just yet, although I think I missed a call from the police this afternoon.
Splitting headache again; it was ok this morning, but every movement of my eye hurts, so it's resulted in a headache again. Should be fine in a few days though.Science adjusts it’s beliefs based on what’s observed.

You're right, I guess I should count myself lucky that he wasn't armed with said pie

I'm assuming the Police took an initial statement from you? If they get the bloke who did it, If it goes to court make sure you give a victim personal statement, then it can be read out to the court and it shows that the pain he caused you wasn't over within a few minutes, but has caused you pain for several days after. A good victim personal statement can significantly impact judging decisions and what punishment the offender can get.0 -

Yep, the Police came round to my house yesterday afternoon and took a statement.

Where do you stand on criminal injury compensation? Eye injury and permanent facial scarring sounds like a very, very sexy new bike to me.0 -
Yup - don't forget the criminal injuries compensation scheme .......0

To be honest I've no idea where I might stand on any form of compensation. My suit's wrecked, the inside of my car is in a right state and I've now had a screaming headache since yesterday morning

If you had said you prayers the night before the incident and every night after that and asked forgiveness from God, this would have never happened to you. Its 'cos you're a non-believer. Its all your fault.
Keep us posted. Get a personal injury lawyer and litigate the bollox of the bastard - have them stuffed and mounted and sealed in perspex. Imagine if you had lost an eye, fuk me wtf is the matter with people?seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

Bloody hell Matt hope you're OK.
If the driver wants to go down the path of not naming names then the police will either do him for withholding evidence or maybe even assisting an offender. But what will the drivers argument be, "no sir no idea who he was, I just let this random guy sit in my van as I drive about and then we got peckish so stopped at McD's".
Seems like your pretty well sorted. Police will find out who he is, match his face to the CCTV images and then laugh at his excuse, court will see the evidence and it sounds like he will get convicted, especially if it's all on CCTV and the witnesses too. Just hope he doesn't have a good lawyer so gets a proper sentence and not some 40 hours unpaid work crap.***** Pro Tour Pundit Champion 2020, 2018, 2017 & 2011 *****0 -
As always in law it isn't that simple.
A person has a right to silence. The driver can exercise that right. Rice v Connolly defines you cannot be guilty of obstructing an officer by passively saying nothing.
It is down to the police to charge the silent driver with a correct charge, unfortunately they often get it wrong and the case is dismissed.Peter0 -

FWIW Matt, Autoglym vinyl and rubber care (yellow sqaure) will get most crap off your dash and trim and their interior shampoo (greeen square) will sort the rest out.
I had a bad reaction to an insect bite a few months back, which lost me the use of my left eye for a week or so, hurt like hell and I had a few bad headaches so I can understand how you feel (but burns too, must be worse!).

Matt get yourself off to a local car detailer ( not a carwash!!!) These boys barely leave a spec of dust anywhere in the car.
Get a quote for full interior detailing and shampooing,hell if you want go for a little paint correction on the outside too. Use this quote to claim expenses back.0 -
