I totally agree although please do NOT tarnish all of us Harley Riders. Some who have scooters belong to the group of people who you are thinking of.

I dread to think what would happen if they found who they thought was the driver and got instead someone who is innocent.

I understand the logic behind what the scooterists are trying to do but lynch mob mentality is not the way to go about it.

The Volvo driver should hand himself in before someone gets seriously hurt for no reason.

Oh yeh it's such a disturbing thought all these older perfectly normal looking people looking out for a car that was involved in an RTA that led to a young girl's death. I don't think they're out to lynch him they'll probably call the police because as scooter riders they, more than anyone, want to see people who drive dangerously and put scooter riders at risk punished. The more eyes out looking for this car the better and I think the sentiment of what they're doing is nice. As for the comments about why she was riding on that road she has every right to be there. Drivers needs to SHARE the road with other users such as scooter riders, motorcyclists, actual cyclists and pedestrians where the Highway Code dictates. It might have been the quickest route to where she was going and she had every right to be there.

You can cycle on a dual carraigeway too but it doesn't make it a bright idea.

Last march I was hit from behind on the same stretch of road by a vehicle driven by and old man who obviously was to infirm to drive safely.
he drove off without seeing if I was ok and when I reported it to the police , they did nothing , so I have little faith in hampshire police traffic unit, they are a bad joke and not to be trusted.

"A silver Volvo XC90 failed to stop after the 16-year-old suffered fatal injuries on the A31 near Ashley Heath roundabout."

"Traffic Inspector Matt Butler said: “We know from our investigation so far that a number of vehicles were involved in the incident and one of these vehicles – a Volvo XC90 – left the scene before police arrived."

On the assumption that the police are correct in their comment, the Echo must be guilty of making an inflamatory statement in this report.

I actually saw a Volvo XC90 today in the car park opposite Sainsbury's when I was working on the trolleys. It didn't have any damage on the front of it however. If it was the car in question I'd say the driver would have been making a bold move coming into town. Also did have one lady ask myself and a colleague to identify a car that she thought was a Volvo that had damage to done to it, yet it was actually a Toyota that looked similar. So many more people are looking, and we will find this driver.

Oh please. This is becoming the equivalent of 'Jaws' when they first went out looking for the shark.

You sound like a bunch of clucking fish wives. Do you really think the police are one step behind you? That some plod is reading this and thinking 'my god why didn't we think of the DVLA'?

This is a tradegy and not time for some online Miss 'bloody obvious' Marples.

Whilst we don't appreciate all the circumstances, I do wonder why the Police took so long to announce that they were looking for this car ... by this time it could have been repaired and/or hundreds of miles away ... people are right, we need to have this mentioned on the national news.

...and I agree, we all need to share the roads, there is too much traffic about these days to take an arrogant stance and stand your ground ... just one second can change someone's life forever... if anything comes from this tragedy, let us hope it will be more consideration , tolerance & understanding.
