Thumbs down Taxi driver bumps my old mans 750 beemer

My dad was on his way to work and going through one of the local areas, before coming upto some cross roads my dad spotted an mpv pulling out into the main road, my dad pressed his horn at least 10 times and he continued to pull out until my dad swearved towards the kirb but inevitably he hit the drivers side front wing only. His first excuse is the same given to the bikers '' i never saw you '' ( azhole ). My dad is taking the car to Blue Bell Bmw in Crewe to be fixed ( the car is serviced there ) and will cost around £1,000 to be put back to original. The new paint isn't almost 10 years old so won't look quite the same so my dad is really peed off.

It strikes me that if he had time to pip his horn 10 times then he had time to stop, or prepare to stop.
Occasionally people do make mistakes when they are driving. Everyone does it at sometime or another, people need to be more forgiving to it.
As I have got older I have started to realise that that kind of "he's in the wrong" and must get out of the way attitude causes unnecessary accidents.

I could be wrong about the horn thing, he did say he never had time to stop, pulled out because of a lorry coming the other way.
