Thanks Patty for the new thread :beer:

Lagging behind at the moment, OH's Mum isn't well and is in hospital after collapsing, so he's had to go to Glasgow. Still don't really know what actually caused it, but they are keeping her in, so it's fingers crossed at the moment that she will be ok.

Going to try and have a quick catch up and relax for 10 minutes

Hope your OH's mum is recovering well

need a bit of advice please..

A couple of weeks ago i parked my car in an asad's car park. I parked on the outskirts of the car park and there was a kerb at the end of each parking space. The kerb looked just like any normal kerb you would come across.

Anyway, i drive a 7 seater vauxhall zafira as i have 2 kids and 2 sets of grandparents, and as it is a long car i tend to drive right in to the parking space till my wheels touch the kerb so that i know the car is definitely fully in the spot. I did this, as usual, but this time, i heard a grating noise as i parked. I stopped immediately, however when i reversed, my bumper was pulled off the car by about 2 inches, the headlight looked dodgy and the whole front of the car was boogered.

I have had to get the car repaired through my insurance so have lost my no claims bonus and had to pay an excess of £200. The repairs came to approx £700 in the end.


So, the question is, am i..

1. a bad driver who should suffer the consequences of my bad parking?
2. a good driver who hasn't claimed on his insurance for 25 years who should seek some kind of compensation from asad's?

i have no idea what the answer is, just hoping one (or more) of the elite can assist. If i should try asad's, is there an email address i should contact?

Thanks

Edit: What if there was no kerb but you didn't notice and there was a cliff, would you have driven off the cliff ?

You lot sidled off to a new thread while I was catching up, how very dare you! :D:D:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
I thought it was odd that my quote button was missing.
I wanted to quote one of FK's robin pictures, and thank him for posting piccies again. I've missed them, as have many others I know. By the way FK, no dinner pics if you please. I'm back on SW and your dinner pics make me hungry.
Early night for me, none of this posting at 2am and up at 5.30 am lark tonight.
Thanks to Patty for the new thread. Have you told the glitch fairy where we are?
Hugs to all in need, night night. xx

Or...
[*]a good driver who hasn't claimed on his insurance for 25 years but who should suffer the consequences of his bad parking.

Edit: it's just I cant really see you getting anywhere with Adsa, it's just one of those things. Bad luck though.

A standard kerb height is 125mm (5"), but it is not written in law i'm afraid.

Oh I just saw a woman doing very similar to this in sada carpark tonight - the bumber scraped along the pavement but didn't come off.

Did you report it to sada at time of incident and had you any witnesses apart from family? Difficult one.
