Well, it had to happen sooner or later.

With all my moaning about lane discipline on roundabouts, I finally got bashed into this morning on the way home from work.

Turns out it was a farmer in his Isuzu towing his Cows to Shropshire.

I was in the right lane turning right he was in the left lane and then decided to occupy my lane with me in it.

He forced me into the kerb whilst taking out my passenger door/wing.

The car, my faithful 10 year old Seat Toledo will almost certainly be written off.

The good thing is that he has admitted it was his fault and the insurance claim is under way.

Bad thing is that absolutely no-one stopped, and even the bus driver, who was 4 yards away, failled to see anything!

I'm hoping my insurance company can phone the guy before he has a chance to talk to his insurance company!

 

bvmmer!

at least it wasn't a high speed ding. now you'll be arguing with the ins for months and looking for a new beater all a pita but rather that than your S

 

Just a lack of lane discipline?

I hate that, I almost punted an Audi into a hedge this week because of them cutting corners.

 

Actually...

Lack of lane disciple, different number plates on car/trailer, failure to signal.

Did feel a bit sorry for him though - I asked him for his details and he asked me to write them for him as he couldn't write!
