ben_harmer32 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Whilst parked at the side of the road last night my car was hit by a drunk driver. He collided with the back and pushed it into the car in front. Fortunately I wasn't in the car at the time but I am gutted! Police arrested him and got all his details so fingers crossed it should be a straight forward claim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slink116 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 F¥*#ing hell, it looks really bad, I feel pain for you, hope you'll be able to sort out the mess. Really gutted for you mate :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 What a mess. Should be a prison sentence for sure but nothing will happen but a slap on the wrist. I assume his insurance (if he has any) will sort out your car and his will be void. What car was he in? Just had one on the Z4 forum where he has been hit by an uninsured Lithuanian. Got to love the Uk. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus GTE Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Gutted for you mate. Hope everything works out for getting it repaired or replaced. Seen a drunk driver crash into a centre island fence and veer off the rd accross the pavement taking out a junction box on his way the other week. There was a bus stop with kids at the other side of the rd. These idiots don't care if they take a life. He was a young guy and his family showed up at the scene and his dad assaulted him as he was getting out the ambulance Is the car likely to be a write off? I know I was once given the option on another car I had where they said they couldn't get bumper clips so we're prepared to make me an offer to write it off and I was able to say no, just do your best. Ended up a good job. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_harmer32 Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 I got the police report through. He is insured and he blew over the legal limit. He's being interviewed this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slink116 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 He should face the Supra firing squad, let him stand in the middle of a circled Supras with full throttle, blast him with the exhaust fumes, add a few flame throwers with the circle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buster Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 not sure I'd want it repaired looking at the damage hope it gets sorted quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_harmer32 Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 I am so gutted. Police have given me a statement and in it it says his insurance company and policy number, and that he is entirely to blame. Hopefully it'll get sorted quickly.

No deterrent for people these days. For me if you get caught over the limit it should be a week in jail at least (more if well over), car confiscated and sold to fund victims and licence gone for 5 years. H.

Scott Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Definitely think that'll be a write off as far as insurance are concerned. I'd be fuming, feel for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew K Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Gutted for you mate and hate seeing things like this happen! As already said the poor supra isn't looking good and wouldn't be surprised if it's a write off but hoping not and you can get it sorted and back on the road.
