from Durham street to Kennington lane 
i was following my sat nav. i was going to go straight on at the lights but i needed petrol so i decided to turn left at the lights. i had been to Camberwell and was heading towards the A1 to get home. i dont know what i passed or anything, it had just started hammering down so everything looked grey

You sure about the road names ?
Camberwell and heading for the A2 maybe ? Or you were heading INTO town to the A1?

lol this is messed up. Not many main roads that sat nav use turn left onto Kennington Lane. Sure it was not Kennington Road?
As for the location you mentioned the police being. I know a few places round there that the police are based but Durham St aint one of them.

What other road names do you know, before you reached this point?
Coming from Camberwell I would assume you used Camberwell new Road to get up towards Kennington Lane... Up by the Oval ? Or Walworth Road up towards Elephant and Castle... Both would bring you near to Kennington Lane.
Aaaah I know where you were... Newington Butts by any chance ?

Coming from Camberwell New Rd, the sat nav would take you up on to Harleyford, South Lambeth Rd, under the railway arches, on to Vaux Bridge etc....
Not got a clue where you were going lol

There is no way in hell you can go from Durham St to Kennington Lane, and if you did, and admitted it in a statement, I would retract it lol

Glad im not the only one thinking this though. Sara.... sort it out luv!
hehe the fact you didnt get nicked suggests you were not actually there.
If you were by the police you might have been turning left from Clapham or Brixton Rd into Camberwell New Road.
Til I know where you were..... thats me done lol

Like I say it would have taken you up Harleyford St etc with nav.
Still not sure exactly where you had the bump though, to be turning left. Were you following a bend in the road or turning into another road?
If you were coming to a bend in the road near The Oval cricket ground that would make sense. Pathetic piece of road there. Harleyford St, just near Durham St

there was a huge sign up above the drive i pulled into, it said Kennington Place (police training). the road was very long, i only turned up it to get petrol then i turned round and went back to the lights and turned left to carry on home. i ended up outside Hamleys you dont want to know the rest but it got dark

Heading to the A1 from Vauxhall, you should have been heading towards Blackfriars Bridge etc, up through town that way... not through central london lol
"the road was very long" but unlike this thread............. it went somewhere

the reason i ended up by Hamleys was because i couldnt see the route on the screen as there were so many symbols on the map. i had to guess where the red line was
i havnt changed any settings from when i got the European card so i think its set for everything to appear

The evidence of what happened is on the CCTV she's trying to get. She's hardly likely to be trying to track that down if it does not support her statement that the bus had been stationary, she was making a correct left turn that was not in the bus lane as that had ended when the driver pulled away from the stop into the side of her moving car.

Its difficult to obtain CCTV footage if you have no idea where you were!
Fingers crossed this all gets sorted out, but at the moment, the main thing is to work out where the bloody accident happened.
