Scared,biting dog

I've posted this in another forum before.I'm posting it here to get more help. I have a dog called Scotch. He has been neutered. He is 1 year 8 months. I got him when he was 11 months on 14 July 2007. I got him from the Independent Pet Rescuers. They told me he got knocked twice by a car which led to one of his back legs to be partially broken. Scotch is VERY scared of people. He poops and pees when someone comes too close or when someone wants to pet him. But one day, I got him used to my cousin and the next day, he completely forgot her and pooped again. The other thing is, while he's scared of other people, he loves to bite me. I don't think its a dominant gesture, I think its just playfulness but he doesn't seem to understand that it hurts. Especially at night, when he tends to go mad and barks and starts biting my leg really hard. Even when I say 'no' loudly and firmly, he thinks I'm playing and barks. I don't think he's stupid though. He knows how to 'sit' and 'down', but normally just does it for food. The first problem is much bigger than the second one, please help me. Do you know anyplace I can take to socialize him?As he's very good with dogs. I'm thinking about bringing him to one of the trekking sessions in Gasing Hill, but I'm not sure. He might see a lot of people there and get really scared. Or he might just ignore them and play with the dogs. Please help!
