"The driver of the white Renault is understood to have hit the accelerator while reversing"

All too common.

I bet any insurance company which pledges to protect your no claims bonus when this sort of incident occurs would see business double.

EFA: Protecting the no claims regardless of outcome. Even though for it to end up 50/50 would be rare I'd imagine.

She has not beaten the effort from a couple of years back of an old guy just a few hundred yards away who managed to hit the LPG tank at the local morrisons.
Knackard old gits driving around there is normal.
Had an old guy pointed out to me yesterday who was bent double and had no muscle control- massive twitchers etc, apparently he had just driven to the supermarket!!!
