Ive had my new Van / Bus / Truck for 2 weeks..... £ 32k's worth and yesterday in Lyndhurst....... BANG..... SCRAPE........SCREETCH and then some MAJOR abuse from me at the Stinky Iti..... done about £2k worth of damage! Fecking Europeans...... he swung round a hard R/H corner and swiped me with the rs end of the trailer on his blind side!

Off to the bodyshop it'll go.... New Wing, Mirror, Headlamp, Bumper.....

I dont think he understood me but SHOUTING LOUDLY and use of the F word every other word seemed to help..................(me)

Actually felt a bit sorry for the bloke...... really it was just "one of those things".... "wrong place, wrong time"

waveydavey:
Surprisingly common this: Wing mirrors are sided to bring things closer or show them further back. If you get a left hand drive Artic in the UK they have a huge blind spot, the chances are he did not even know you were there.

Next time on the Motorway if you pass a European truck look at his mirrors and see how much space you can't see the driver, that means he (or she) can't see you!

Where abouts? We were out and about in the forest yesterday, Lyndhurst and Brokenhurst way.

daggie:

We were staying at Ashurst, on the Forestry Commision site and popped to Lyndhurst for Gas on Sunday afternoon!

Admittedly I was not parked legally but I was parked and he had passed me before he turned Right to Lymington after comming down the high street, where I was pulled over was a wider part near the Ferrari / Maserarti garage oposite the butchers, and I was on the pavement side of double yellows not on the road, there was a car in front and a Galaxy behind me in the same place, I was the unlucky one!
