I HOPE that the cowardly individuals who caused my niece to be 'rammed' by a car and then ran off not caring whether she was dead or alive (LET, September 11) are proud.

She is going to survive, but the pain and suffering they have caused her is horrendous, not to mention that of her entire family.

I only wish that this could be a lesson to them and others of their ilk who think they can go around wrecking other people's lives just for fun.

MARGARET FISH (Mrs), Mellor Lane, Mellor.
