Bad Luck

[nicowalker1]

thought id share some pics

this is the second time this year... once again not my fault!!!

[natesvRS]

harsh mate. what happened?

[VRStu]

Nasty. Bet that shook you up a bit too.

[nicowalker1]

girlfriend turning right on a mini roundabout van driver drives across wrong side of island as shes leaving the roundabout and thats the result. no witnesses either so total balls up bye bye 4 years no claims as I've already had to claim earlier this year. To add insult to injury some scrotes have kicked in the rear panel and wing mirror on the courtesy car so ANOTHER claim coming on. I'm only 22 so insurance is going to be ridiculous come next year

[nicowalker1]

id only just polished the bugger aswell!!!

[natesvRS]

sorry to hear it mate. at least you and the gf are safe and well. maybe you got my bad luck streak with cars. ive actually managed to get two years no claims now, after holding a year at most, then losing it. for past 6 years hehe

[nicowalker1]

its a sod isnt it!!! Worst part is i have to drive a 1.2 corsa, man its slow after mine and its only the 2.0 was hoping to get a vrs in a couple of years but may be longer now. They'll all be scrappers by then lol

[Liverpool-Lad]

Well, thats slightly knackered. Sill damage too. Write off?

Im still trying to work out how it happened.

[nicowalker1]

i thought it was a write off but they are doing a repair so will see if its acceptable when i get it back, they did a good job after the last accident.

will do a bad drawing to try and show what happened

[nicowalker1]

here it is sorry for roughness

[Liverpool-Lad]

Ah, cheers, thats made it a lot clearer.

I hope there were witnesses to all this to pin the blame on him.

[nicowalker1]

nope no one would even stop to help her out... in fact they where pushing past over the roundabout to carry on their way. people don't want to know anymore, to much hassle to get involved. :thumbdwn::thumbdwn::thumbdwn:

[Liverpool-Lad]

Thats bad news, I hope it all works out for the best.

[gadgetman]

No CCTV? Buildings, council/police run?

Also pic shows constant traffic, and stationary traffic. NO ONE stopped??? :confused:

[RobKnapp2]

...I feel your pain matey! Mine got smaked in the OSF week before last (Person coming out of car park onto the road that I was on - and claiming that I cut across her path!!!)

Hopfully I should get mine back late next week. Hope all goes ok with yours...

Rob

[nicowalker1]

cheers people,

there is always a stream of non stop traffic there, and no bugger stopped

By the looks of the damage and the diagram, I would say that it should be a valid claim against his insurance. As long as your gf was on the roundabout first then he cannot deny his fault. I would seriously contest this if I were you. mini roundabouts are a git sometimes, am almost hit on a daily basis on the way to work, but if i am it will be their fault as i come from the right (accounting for right of way) and am on the roundabout before they barrel across it.
