Hi all

Bad morning!, just finished refitting my new wings and brackets last night so gave the car a little try on the way to work this morning, wings are fine but

AARRGGHHH soddiing (can't swear on here) secretary just reversed into me! I see her reverse lights come on and i've positined the car so she can see my headlights in her wingmirrors, stil reversing so I'm sounding the horn, I can't reverse so we end up with wallop!

yeah i'm fine, car's fine, just bent the headlight and bracket. (straightened now, will check it tonight at home!)

but she pulled forward got out thecar and never said a word, just walked off.

I'm livid, mind you the bracket has pierced her bumper so thats £400 off her company lease when she hands it back so i may well leave it at that

Oh the car is BRIGHT Orange

JUST MAKE ME ANGRY

If she reversed into you mate then you should get her details and claim, why should she get away with it!!

^^^^^

Wot he said.

i'd agree with that too. don't let her get away with it - the attitude of some people on the roads and the sheer lack of respect for other peoples' property never ceases to amaze me!

I would also not let her get away with that... It's just not on..

Just walking off without saying anything? That kind of attitude stinks. You should throw the book at her just for that.

I'd at least print out some posters saying

"Warning- I drive like a complete muppet and reverse without looking"

and spray-mount them to her car...

What she did was an offence.
Not stopping at the scene of a road traffic accident and giving her details.
Let your insurance company know and she'll be getting a visit from Plod.

Time for Dr Nick from the Simpsons

"and that smudge on the Xray that looks like my thumb:- brain damage"


02GF74 - 26/10/07 at 09:55 AM

hhmmm, wonder if she will say you have riven into here. get witnesses etc. or it could get nasty. .... but seem not mcuh damage/cost so don;t worry too much.

Write in mirror image on her rear window (so she can read it in her rear view mirror)

"should have gone to Specsavers"

Take her for all she's worth, these ignorant fuckers need teaching a lesson. Reminds me of the time someone pulled out in front of me, I ran in to the back of them and they waved and drove off!


nib1980 - 26/10/07 at 03:04 PM

just found my headlight bracket is broken tooo!!!!!!!!!!

AARRGGHHH


Dangle_kt - 26/10/07 at 04:44 PM

why not just ask her?

I'd just be polite, maybe she didnt realise.

I mean she didnt notice your horn so maybe she didnt notice the bump. It aint gonna be a big bump to bend a locost headlight is it?

Seems pretty easy to me...
