Homer Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Can't believe it, my sensible low mileage BMW is wrecked I was driving steadily along the road when a car on the side road on my left jumps out of the road right in front of me! Couldn't have had even a second to react, so only managed to turn the wheel right a little before hitting her. She was turning right out the side road so crossing the road in front of me, the entire front of her car is caved in so I'm pretty sure it's her fault... even though she tried to blame me! Thats rich considering her first words were "I didn't even see you" Thankfully no one hurt, I've just got a stiff neck and for some reason a bruised knee. Hopefully no aches tomorrow. Insured through Sky so hopefully they'll be able to sort me out a hire car before the weekend (sister is due to give birth in a few days and my father goes into hospital for a major op, so need a car in the next two weeks).

Doesn't look too bad from the pic. Sorry to hear this btw. What is it with people trying to blame others when they are clearly at fault. Scott =op The inner wing is folded up so can't see it being worth repairing, the car isn't worth very much even though it was mint. She was in a Y reg megane, the whole front was caved in but she still managed to drive it home... Turns out she live 10 doors away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 The inner wing is folded up so can't see it being worth repairing, the car isn't worth very much even though it was mint. Worth a shot though eh, if her insurance company takes the blame then surely you have a bit more clout with asking to get it repaired?

Homer Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 Some more pics of the road. Whats the general consensus on fault? I think it's her fault, there was nothing I could have done to avoid her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
