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

sorry but its your fault IMO (not saying bad driver though;)) :A0 -

However, maybe I should suggest that rather than compensation, they offer me a free hour raking through all their bins/skips to see how many wombles I can get. Now that, I can definitely live with!!:D:D
i would word it as compensation in the form of the adsa bins from ss and out side and a genral sweep of car park will be fine my hobbie is collecting rubbish/bits and wuld help with the healing prosses:eek::rotfl:;)
