Hit a fox. Who can I sue?
Discussion
Back in 1996 I hit a fox with my new at the time a Peugeot 306XND. Rather than lose my no-claims I paid for the damage to be repaired myself. Can't remember the full amount but it wasn't cheap. It wasn't my fault so who can I sue.
Also isn't this the sort of thing that confirms foxes should pay roadtax and carry some form of third party insurance or be banned from the roads?

You could use horses and beagles, but thats against the law now.
So your first port of call is getting the fox hunting ban overturned.... Best of luck!
Still happens in many parts of the country; police just turn a blind eye, fortunately. Wasted, crappy piece of legislation.You could use horses and beagles, but thats against the law now.

I'm sure there will be many wealthy country type members of the court that enjoyed taking part in the hunt when it was legal, and will take your side against the fox menace, 'for they would be deceased at the hand of thy faithful hound, not inconveniencing motorists, if it wasn't for the blarsted government and darn protesters'.

I hit a fox in my nearly new (at the time) Rover Sterling, I was traveling at around a 100 leptons and there was a huge bang ( I did see the fox come out of the hedge), pulled over to have a look and there was no damage at all. I can only think I hit it that hard it vapourised it or it was a glancing blow. It did help the car had the biggest bumpers known to man. Certainly more effective at controlling foxes than the hunt, not such a great traditional spectacle though.

Wish my car had no damage. Strange thing was that inspite of the bang and damage that indicated the fox had taken a huge hit there was no sign of it after the accident. Vapourisation hadn't occurred to me but now you mention it.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
