Why do I never see such sad individuals in real life. Only on twitter.

What you need is a firm of top-rate solicitors. May I direct you to Messrs T, Bone & Winalot .

Ok, not a crash but it did scratch my bonnet a bit. This made me jump at work yesterday, trees falling down are loud! The tree surgeon said he wanted it to go the other way. If I'd parked in the row in front my car would have been crushed, so got quite lucky probably, although I want a new car and I'd have had a much more interesting picture to post 
. My colleague's 1 Series got a nice dent on the bonnet.
Biggest disappointment, somehow my dashcam's "parking mode" didn't capture a tree landing on the bonnet. Can't be a very good motion sensor.
Presumably the tree surgeons insurance covered all this?. My colleague's 1 Series got a nice dent on the bonnet. Biggest disappointment, somehow my dashcam's "parking mode" didn't capture a tree landing on the bonnet. Can't be a very good motion sensor.

Yep, they’ve organised for the cars to be repaired by a local garage. We’re both happy with that outcome, the damage is pretty minor. They were very apologetic about it, and very embarrassed too. Mistakes happened and the damage was minor, added some excitement to the work day, though my heart sank when I first saw the tree on my car.
After 2 years of driving, I learned many important lessons very quickly, including what lift-off oversteer is and not to drive like a 
.
I was overtaking another car, spending way too much time looking in my mirror to make sure I was clear before moving back over, look back at the road.... crap, I'm on the corner already.
In 4th and the back stepped out, I lifted my foot off the accelerator, resisted the temptation to brake but just couldn't accelerate out of it.
My front wheels touched the grass and I thought, it's fine, I'll slide to a stop in the field and find a way out.
The next thing I know is I'm barrel-rolling through the field. Turns out I hit a concrete gas marker post with my rear quarter panel.
I was very lucky that day, lucky I had no passengers, lucky I escaped with only minor scratches, lucky insurance paid out, lucky a very friendly police officer arrived on scene and *cough* helped me remember the details of the accident for the report and even gave me a lift home.

We did however buy a dog shortly after the crash to help us cope with the trauma.
We bought it from the local blacksmith.
When we got it home it made a bolt for the door.
I know it's a groaner, but this made me laugh We bought it from the local blacksmith.

Stumbled across this on FB
"I’ve had the opportunity to take delivery of a brand new car a couple of times and my excitement was through the roof on both occasions. I can only imagine buying a Lamborghini must be on another level, but this Huracan owner will likely want to forget the day the dealer handed over the keys to this Performante Spyder, 20 minutes later all hell broke loose, it had mechanical failure in the third lane and stopped, a van rear ended it on the M1"

Joking aside, I once woke to find a drunkard tree caressing the rear end of my girlfriend's car.
If we're doing trees on cars then this is what happened to my dad's BMW 528i back in 2000 - the car was 3 months old and we were in Australia at the time - he'd parked it at his bosses house so it didn't get damaged in the airport car park!Incredibly it wasn't written off - it was completely reshelled by our local dealership. By the time he sold it it had over 250k on the clock.
