Are all 4x4 drivers the same?
richo:
My mates wife went shopping the other week and park her golf soft top up in the car park and when she came back some one had knocked the front bumper off and she had both her young uns with her .My mate had to come from work to pick her up as the car couldn't been driven due to the bumper only being fixed to the car by 2 wires for the lights.

However on one visitation, she had to park on the other side, someone knocked on the door, to tell her an old lady had gone into the Mondeo & driven off.
Witness gave her the registration & the approximate location on site. SWMBO went up to the shop/site-office & asked.
Manager said "Not Again!!!"
Which didn't sound good!!!! :evil:
Joanne found the car & her husband apparantly 'T-Cutting' it :shock:
Upon being challenged she admitted it, but said she panicked & wanted 'to go home'
She offered to pay cash for the repairs, but Jo refused, as it was a company vehicle
It was later revealed (by someone who knew her) that she had over 10 claims against her for damages of this sort!!!!!!!!

on a similar note to this i has a crash with an old lady (she pulled out on me from a minor road to a major road she drove off and pulled in the nearest available pull in, got her details and when i claimed she told the insurance company she was parked on the near left hand side of the road and i hit her from behind, hitting her in the nearside front wing and damaging my offside front light/indicator ????? :roll: :roll: not impressed as insurance company would not pay for my repairs but cancelled my policy as i said i was not paying my insurance untill my repairs were done , never got done :evil:

Ben you are still entitled to claim from her insurance compay directly, well legally from her in fact. How long ago was it? if it was recent then a nice letter from a solicitor might help things along.
This is unfortunatley why it's worth having uninsured loss insurance, years ago my dad had DAS on his policy and they ended up putting a bloke in prison for not paying for a repair that cost about £120

I think it's almost worth installing a camera system in the Disco, with cameras to front and rear, running continuously.
Such systems are cheap enough, and worthwhile if it stops all the nonsense people seem to have suffered.
Some of you may have to keep the audio off though, the language in the car can get interesting if confronted with some of the plonkers we see on the roads.
It would certainly have helped in the prosecution of a minicab driver last night, that overtook me on a the brow of a hill in a built up area with extensive hazard markings, including hashed area for those making a right turn.
Absolutely crazy thing to do, and I passed him two minutes later making a pick up in a pub car park, but what evidence do I have if I reported it?
Nothing.
What would the local Police do with such video evidence?
Nothing? Caution? Minicab Licence revoked? Court? Strung up by his wedding tackle?
They just keep getting away with it, until they grow up or kill someone.

She claimed she didnt realise she hit us, then broke down saying it was hubbys car and he didnt know she had taken it out and wasnt insured!

sorry but this really P+__((* me off,
how can you get into a car, drive it. and not know if you are insured or not.?
I dont think i would be able to live with myself if i killed a young child, or come to that ,take someones wing mirror off.
And if you look in the Court's Attendances in your local paper, there is no short supply of uninsured drivers.Even without license's..
How do they do it?
