Homer Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 What is it with drivers these days, does no one look where they're going? There I was queuing to go into a set of shops when the car in front inexplicable shoves it in reverse and reverses straight into the front of my car! Only a smashed headlight and bumper, so will still make it to JapFest tomorrow, but it's infuriating how inattentive some people are on the road This was only 30 foot from where my last car was written off by another blind driver!

BASHTHEBISHOP Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Ouch! I hope the claim goes smoothly for you. Did you need new headlights/bumper anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 Did you need new headlights/bumper anyway? Nope, the car was fine! It's only done 60k Not good at all. What was the drivers excuse/reason for reversing? Same as last time "Didn't see you". At least he was a decent fella and unlike the last one, had the courtesy to say sorry.

Pete Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 This was only 30 foot from where my last car was written off by another blind driver! I'd avoid that area if I were you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 Is this the Mondeo? Yep. It's no big deal really, it just hacks me off that it could have easily been avoided. Same with most accidents these days I guess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 same thing happened to my mum in the supermarket carpark. a guy was waiting to turn out of the row of spaces and my mum was pulling up behind. the guy saw a space as the carpark was full so whacked it in reverse and reversed a good 20-30 foot before hitting my mums car. i dont understand how you can reverse for that far without looking in your mirror.

He never looked in rear view mirror and wrote off my old Omega. I had to bite my tongue and not vent my anger out at his blind stupidity.

Homer Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 Bad luck Homer. They getting it sorted out? Yeah, he was a late 20's asian lad who had his wife and kids in the car, kids were crying and all It was a hire car which he had a £600 excess on. He's local so will probably sort it out with him direct as he'll get raped by the hire company if it goes through them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 What speed was he doing?? Not much, I left plenty space behind him. It was about 5mph as he reversed in fustration at the pump not working. The car reached the % of its value. Then it took a year for his insurance company to pay out as he would not reply to their letters or calls.
