Crashed into a postbox

[ismi01]

So last night around 3am heavy rain and heavy winds was doing about 30 turned right onto a back road and see a fox in my lane without thinking quickly manoeuvred the car to the other side and went up the kerb into the postbox bumpers gone and radiator. Now for the Insuarance what do I tell them I’ve got fully com.

What do you have in mind to tell them? I'd go with telling the truth.

[stinkyspanner]

I'd tell them I was drunk

I’m confused. What are you actually asking? You’ve said what happened so usually you’d just tell the insurers that.

[anonymous-user]

odd time to be driving 3am in the morning on xmas day?

It amuses me that you also posted this in Motoring News.

The truth probably isn’t the story he told us.

yes our postboxes are quite solid arent they.

Phone your insurance company and tell them you had an incident with a postbox and where it was, take some pics if you can. insurance company will do the rest

That you swerved to avoid a fox and werent driving to the conditions with due care and attention.
Say good bye to your no claims and pay your excess.
Wait and see how much the post office chargeyou for a new post box.

You would of been better to hit the fox.

Something tells me that a Jasper Carrot moment is approaching (older posters will know)

Has the silly season started ?
Do you have issues with bulbs, not the Dutch type that you will find in small towns like Schermerhorn ?

[poo at Paul's]

Did the fox have his flippers on?

I’d change your story a quick google tells you Foxes tend to stay well away from such conditions as well as cars and roads,,,, how about a deer?

‘Foxes are much like cats, a fox can swim well, and does swim. However, foxes generally avoid water and prefer not to get wet. They shelter from the rain where they can.’

[p4cks]

A fox ran out and you swerved to miss it doing just 30mph resulting in you hitting a postbox so hard you wreck your bumper and radiator?

Tell them you will fill in the claim form and post it back to them, but it could take a while.

tell them that you lost control of the car in the wet as you were driving too fast, showing off and possibly drunk or lie to them and make up some story about a fox/badger/deer/unicorn.
The insurance co will know that you are stting them.
Expect the insurance claim to be large, Royal Mail will charge an awful lot to replace one of her maj's finest post boxes.

Make sure you state manoeuvre in your statement to the insurance company.

noun: maneuver
1.
a movement or series of moves requiring skill and care.
