Brilliant !!!!

Some dozzy b1*t just reversed right into the side of my new car....despite me stopping and leaning on the horn, she just kept on going until a solid object (my drivers door) stopped her! Great, She tried to apologise but I had to tell her to get back in her car and wait till I had calmed down.....did a couple of laps of my car muttering to myself and cursing then asked for her details.

Turns out "she had her mind on other things" ....so thats alright then :incredulous:

The mind boggles.

Can the police issue points to drivers who ACTUALLY cause accidents by their "mind being else where"?

It would certainly be a more appropriate way to reduce accident casualties than issuing tickets to those doing 78 on a motorway because there is a one in a million chance they MAY have an accident.

Theres just no way to defend yourself against this kind of driver... short of riding around in a tank...

[tuffer]

Saving grace, she is insured and has contacted her insurance and admitted blame, when I rang them they could not have been more helpfull, offered me a curtousy car and all the gubbins....feel a little guilty for moaning now!!!

[tuffer]

Feeling passed....B1tch has wrecked my new car.

As well they should.

Surely an admission of "mind elsewhere", if witnessed, would be enough to make a Due Care & Attention charge stick?

Tuff,

Sorry to hear about this mate. Can't believe she even kept going when you're leaning on the horn?

Bah!

[M@H]

I trust you'll be insisting on a new door, and not a repair to the existing doorskin...?

Bad luck
Matt.

Yep, just been to the coachworks, it needs a new door and blow over. Typicall, had my last car 4 years, didnt realy like it or look after it ...not a scratch. Pick this one up and this happens straight away!! ARSE.

Had very similar in mine, the door got ripped off my Griff after having it a week, it has been in the body shop for some time now, still spoke to them today and they said it should be finished at the end of next week

Can’t wait to drive it again!
