Oooooooouch, that hurt a little bit
Out with Karen & Hannah today. For the 1st time in years Karen's driving and because Hannah is in the baby seat, I'm relegated to the back seat. Just coming onto the A12 at the Moby Dick, Karen stops at a Give Way sign, but the bloke in a Focus behind us thinks it's best to use our car as his brakes 
Upshot is, one Ambulance, One Emergency Ambulance car and one Metropolitan Police car attended. Got to say we had excellent service by all concerned (even more so after a chat with the Old Bill
).
Bloke has admitted liability, looks like the car could be a write off though

Ouch - am assuming you are all, especially Hannah, okay?
Not nice - though I should think the other guy did admit it was his fault seeing you unfold yourself from the rear seat!!
Just what you don't need in the lead up to Christmas - one car down!
Glad to hear the emergency services treated you well!

all over her.It was quite amusing. It's a 3 door car I couldn't get out at first as Karen was in a bit of discomfort and couldn't move, Hannah wasn't going anywhere fast either. Eventually I managed to move her car seat and squeeze my way out. Suffice to say the other driver had a bit of a surprise when I got out
Do you need a lift anywhere this weekend ?Trending Topics

Glad to hear all are ok Ed & hope there are no lingering aftereffects. Just as well you climbed out from the back unaided as it could have ended as a "roof off" job.

Stu, thanks for the offer, but we're sorted.
It wasn't the Polo that bought it, it was the Fiesta. It's still drivable, hence it was me that brought it back.
Rear bumper & tailgate are fooofed, no idea what damage there is to the underneath, I'm going to have a look tomorrow in the light. Quite by chance the neighbour is an insurance car assessor. I might ask him his opinion to have a clearer idea if we should be looking for another car or not.
Perhaps we can put a down payment on a 911

I must admit I had that going through my mind for a moment or 2. It would have been strange seeing it from the 'other' side.

To be fair, he was really concerned and called for the ambulance and the rozzers. He was confronted with me in the back unable to get out, Karen hunched up over the steering wheel worried that she'd done her back in again and Hannah screaming her head off.

There's a similiar story I can tell you about one of our 'works' cars with about 500 miles on the clock.
We had a convertable Vectra within a week of taking delivery of it

The story goes that the poor guy couldn't claim as he had "invited" the damage to be done to his car by offering his help. Makes you think twice about being a good Samaritan.
