The red car in the Google Earth image is not the car in question but is in about the same position as the silver WRX was when it decided to turn left without indicating (the red line in the image is my track as recorded by my GPS) As I happened to be going straight across the roundabout we collided ... me into his passenger side. It knocked me off the bike but I was able to land on my feet, realise there was another car coming my way locking its brakes up as I dragged the bike and myself off the road.
.... and the silver WRX didn't stop!!!! After I checked for obvious injuries and bike damage I headed down the hill looking for the WRX which had driven up a side street then when the driver saw me coming down the hill, they sped off. I got close enough to get most of their number plate and have reported to the police who will have a chat with the driver in the first instance.
The Edge 305 gps recorded the whole event including my speed and heart rate. Understandably, as my speed abruptly stopped my heart rate went up.

Hey Gaz, that's crap news. Well I hope both you and bike are ok. If the police don't catch up with that mug, I hope karma does;)
