Ok I put this on another board and suggest I ask on here.
basically hubby crashed in to a horse on the dual carriageway luckily just got a cracked windscreen and a dent in the 'A frame'.
Will have to pay an excess of £75 to replace windscreen through auto glass.someone suggested going to the scrapyard and getting ur done there. Can I do this and is it safe?would they fit it etc?
Thanks!

Have you contacted the owner of the horse? They might have public liability insurance.0

Hope the horse was ok.0

Im not 100% but I think it will depend on the age/type of car. I used to have a 92 Nova and you could easily change the windscreen on my old 98 BMW the screen was glued in and broke when it was removed.0

Modern windscreens are bonded and need to be fitted properly as they are structural. Contact a few local independent fitters for a quote.

A dent in the A Frame? Do you mean that you hit something so hard that you've bent the A Pillar? If so the car needs on a jig to make sure its square and unless the cars fixed properly any new screen will leak like a sieve.0

something as bizarre as this must have been mentioned on multiple reputable news web sites but I can't seem to find any.
Got any links?0 -

They run horse/trap races up dual carriageways, blocking all lanes with their vans and the Police do nothing.
The OP said nothing about a trap - anyway, if the horses owner had been around, I'm sure they'd have been quick enough to want the drivers details to claim against the driver for the damage/loss of the horse (to have bent an A frame doesn't sound like it was good news for the horse
) Please forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.0 -

What claim would the owner have?
Loose horse on a highway and they are liable.0
