on my way to work this morning and got cut up by a woman in a 307 , which forced me to break hard, then next thing i know, the bloke who's been right on my arce on approach to the island has rear ended me
granted it's not major, only cosmetic infact (luckily), but there are some stupid w*nkers on the roads ...
looks like i'll be doing more work then just fitting reversing sensors into it!

Don't you just hate the ones who are in the inside lane of a dual carriageway until they come to a roundabout when they think it is just dandy to carve across to the inside lanes of the roundabout and then drift back to the inside lanes again glaring at all who shout and curse at them and totally bloody oblivious to the fact they just made 5 cars brake and swerve out of the way!!?

Another blind toss-pot!
What's the matter with these firking people. Can't they drive? Really annoying when somebody does this to your pride and joy.
Fortunately not too much damage, but I'd have stung him for at least £100.00
(to pay for the repair/respray of the damage of course)!!  .
Well, and maybe for your reversing sensors!!
Well he wouldn't have wanted you to report it and up his insurance premium....now WOULD he!!

Add the peeps who enter the roundabout in the left lane then with no signal go all the way round to the last exit . The number of times I've nearly been shunted up the @rse, good job some of us use our mirrors/signals...
Another thing which really narked me, parked in a carpark the other week (what else to be done in a car park lol  ). Had a friend sitting in the car, when I came back she tells me some woman in the next space just thumped it, didn't stop when she hit me, kept going and carved a dimple along the length of the drivers side of the rear bumper, even scuffed the bloody tyre. Apparently had a surprise when someone got out of my car to take her details, very sorry she hit my car, apparently. It was 8am and nearly every space was empty and she had to squeeze in right beside my poor Scorpio...
I let it go, I can do paint and I don't want an insurance claim at my age (yes, I'm 22 and trying to build my ncb) if I can help it, even though someone else's fault. Still got to remove the designer dimple though.
Regards, TiberiuS.

Yes Matt, the insurance is a b****r, when I bought my car the first year cost me £1500 (paid monthly ). Its a pain but the only way through is to grin and bear it, I wanted a 'decent' car and now with a couple of years driving and no claims it's halving each year (now in the high hundreds).
There had to be some lucky devil on here younger than me with a Cosworth  .
Regards, Bruce.

use 2 spaces and park in the middle of them! also write to the car park owner and complain about the allocated sizes and give them a repair bill with a threat of small claims court if they fail to compensate you. after all, it is their greed why we have tiny parking bays...
