woman reversed into van - laughed about it.
Discussion
I just wanted to rant really.
I live in a cal-de-sac and the 'square' is big enough for three cars to be parked long ways
| | |
I was sitting in the brand new car that had just been delivered, parked on the right there was a van on the left, nothing in the middle.
As I'm sitting there, explaining the DSG gearbox to my other half and this woman in a 7 seater pulls up in the middle. I assume she's gonna park there but she starts doing a three point turn in-between me and this van.
I have previously had £1200 worth of damage to my old car, with no note from someone i guess doing the same manoeuvre a few months back so i am understandably nervous.
Anyway, the inevitable happens, she reverses into the luton van which does the tell tale rock.
She looks directly at me and the other half, smiles as in 'ooops' and carries on.
I get out and wait for her to finish, she winds down the window and i ask 'are you going to leave a note on that van you just hit?'
her immediate response was ' i didn't hit anything'
i point to the dash cam recording
she then changes to the 'theres no damage so why bother' response.
I don't look at the van, or her car because to me, its the principle of her attitude not the fact that there's no damage.
She was completely oblivious to what she had done, not a care in the world. It really frustrated me because it was exactly someone like her that put me £1200 out of pocket..
Anyway. Turns out she wasn't even visiting anyone in the cal-de-sac, she lived in a house 4 doors down out on the main road. She tells me she's going to get her husband who is a police officer..
So, i too inform her of my profession and welcome the inclusion of another party in this little discussion.
She comes back 5 minutes later, no husband, but tells me he said she didn't need to leave a note but to move the car because it would be likely that someone (me?) would damage it because i seemed really angry..
She roared off and i saw her out on the main road, pulling up back outside her own house.
i guess she didn't need to leave a note, but who are we to judge 'no damage' ? - i think my frustration of her laughing and not caring about what she had just done made me see red
anyone have any opinions ?

Gareth, do you know where i live fella? Because i can assure you it is not a a circle, its a square. Thats why i referred to it as a square.
And no, its not for lorries turning, its for residents parking. Hence there being white lines everywhere indicating this.
Assumption eh?
