Gutted for you mate, same thing nearly happened to me this morning, for some reason I just knew the woman driving wasn't going to stop and slammed on the brakes, she just flew out in front of me with a embarassed look on her face and a "whoops sorry" wave, I was so stunned I didn't even hit the horn . Unbelievable! Hope you get it sorted quickly.

Gutted to hear about it matey.

Hope the presence of the police there is going to result in a charge of "Undue care and attention" or something?

Are you going to be able to get a replacement Spec-C strut???

Sorry, no police charges!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unbelievable, due care and attention if ever I saw it!!

Take her for everything she's got. Had this happen to me and the bird legged it into the nearest pub while I was on the phone to the old bill. she'd necked 2 whiskys to 'steady her nerves' by the time the old bill arrived.

Generally unless its an easy case clear up to get the figures up they're not interested. Bloody useless. Why do I pay tax again!!?

Rant over!!

I tend to think that men are in more crashes than women but thats only because women drivers cause the accident's in the 1st place.

By the looks of the damage at least I hope its a simple non-fault claim for you.

I really wonder what some people are doing when they approach roundabouts... then you get the gormless looks from people when you yell at them to use their indicators...

That is such an excellent camber modification. Your tyres will only last about 150 miles but at least you will stick to the road like glue under heavy cornering - well at least 1 way lol.

Sorry to hear that though - i had a woman nearly take off the front end of my scoob along with the gf's legs because she didnt notice the big round thing in the middle of the road was a mini roundabout she needed to give way to the right on.

Easy mistake to make - she didnt even looked phased as she bounced her 15 year old fiesta across the top of it. Silly Bint!
