Pig Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 So after doing loads of miles today and even stopping for a sleep to make sure i was safe on the road. I pull into the yard at work. I stop the car as a car was reversing out of the valeting bay. Unfortunatly the lad reversing the car out hadnt seen me and everywhere around him was clear apart from directly behind him where i was. I was stationary and looked down from a moment, looked up and saw him coming towards me, i slammed on the horn but by the time i hit the horn, he had hit me causing the air bagto force my wrist / hand into my face and throw me back in my chair. Cut my hand open and have a very saw wrist but feeling less sorry for myself now. Big drama, ambulance and all, gotta love first aiders (did save me having to wait at minor injuries for hours though) thought i would share my luck with you all as less than 2 weeks ago my wife was approaching a cross roads and a driver got her foor caught under the brake pedal and plowed right into the osf corner of our voyager! 2 non fault accident, no one badly hurt in either but lots of paperwork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 bloody hell, i cant keep up with you lots sorry to hear that what car was you in hopefully not the sup Nope, was in a company seat Ibiza, returned to me yesterday by a fellow member. gutted for you matey, hope your hand heals fast as it must be awkward doing it with the other:d I dont know yet, but im bloody worried Jesus that don't sound good mate. The guy who reversed into you sounds like a clown as he obviously werent looking Was there much damaged on the car and more importantly was it the supra???? Anyway mate hope ur ok, could have caused a serious face injury that It was a young lad and was a very easy mistake make. We all get things wrong, especially when young. Both cars are superficial damage, i think it will be about a 5k claim in total. Could be worse. the first of second thing i asked the bloke that hit me was "hows my face" How bad is that Ow Jon, what car were you in? What did the lad say to you? He was very apologetic and upset with himself. I was very nice to him as these things do happen, doubt i would have been the same in the audi or the supra.
