Just had a crash...

[Sam the Mut]

Well first of all Im alright, but the cars fked. Proper fked! My own stupid fault to fast into a downhill tight right hander should of know better. Twigged inevitable pretty early on so for some stupid reason gave it a boot full to try and clear the ditch and hedge as they are lower than the road. Half worked hit the hedge hard.

I have informed the local plod, but how do I get hold of the farmer as I took out a few trees? Im not going to claim on my insurance. So it needs recovering with a hiab or the likes, any idea of the cost of that roughly, will be phoning tommorow?

Pretty stupid expensive mistake, but live and learn.

You not got AA / RAC cover?

They will usually recover your vehicle post accident...

[sherman]

If you have RAC etc cover they should be able to recover you. The farmer probably wont be far away and will want compensation for his trees so you will probably have to put it through the insurance.

Sorry had to be done glad your ok that's what matters.

[Sam the Mut]

no. have always got my self out of troble before, first crash but hit a deer before, well 3.

[Ray Luxury-Yacht]

In that case - best of luck matey...

[sherman]

The farmer may help remove your car so he can fix his hedge.

Phone the local independent garages in the morning. The bigger ones may have a tow truck that can pull you out but it will cost you quite alot.

Glad you're okay, chap.
Trees can't be that expensive, shirley? I assume they're only small/young.

Bad luck and good that you are in once piece!

The RAC recovered my skyline when I "parked it safely" front end first into a wall/ditch a good few yrs ago.

Ok I lied it wasn't safe at all and was written off - but the roll cage did it's job

[Sam the Mut]

any idea how much a few saplings will cost?

They can when the farmer claims that they are something rare and non native and not just a native species

[Sam the Mut]

I wonder if the scrap man will pick it up?

[Baryonyx]

Sadly, the Saxo VTR is a nice little car but many of them have been binned in this fashion.

Surely that'll be hard to do without proof? Also, wouldn't a farmer want less trees, but is likely to be prevented from removing them by tree protection orders etc?

Might be OP has actually done something good for him.

[moronic]

I know nothing about cars and recovery. But I do know about trees, my area of expertise.

If they are just saplings then you arn't looking at a big bill. If you have damaged mature tree's and they need work doing to fell and replace then get the insurance involved. Think thousands and not hundreds. Especially if they are mature.

[Pommygranite]

Why wouldn't you claim on insurance?
