Refreshing Accident Incident...

Hoof_Hearted

Dog had a problem in the back of the car and I parked up quickly on an incline. I didn't put the handbrake on properly and rolled into a parked car, scratching the bumper.

Found the owner and apologised, expecting outrage, claims for a whole new rear end and whiplash for several families. She said not to worry. It's an old car anyway. Thanks for letting me know.

Ther are some nice, reasonable, non-greedy people about.

Yes i'm sorry i was a wee bit too honest then. I'm now in great pain, but not as bad as my six passengers are.

I know you're joking. But if you said you were also from Bradford with an MX-5, then I'd probably believe it

I had something similar before Christmas- I was reversing back in horrible weather to come out a space and knocked the car behind. The owner was in the car, and although we swapped details (it was too dark and rainy to see if there was damage- we couldn't obviously see any), I never heard from him again. I was half expecting to get a phone call about his 'awful whiplash'.

It crossed my mind that somebody would probably pipe up with this one....

Driver and 6 passengers in an MX5, would that be Snow White and all of the dwarves except Sleepy, who didn't wake up in time?

Not forgetting my 20 kids in the boot. Crippled for life they are.

Happened to OH about 18 months ago, he was turning right out of a junction, car was turning in. OH completely misjudged it and clipped the wheel arch of the other car.

The guy driving was fab, no damage to ours and just a small mark from our tyre on his wheel arch. Nearly died when he looked at it, smiled and said "dont worry lad it will T Cut out" Huge relief and reassuring that there are decent folk still out there.
