I was going round a roundabout in very damp weather, when a woman drove out in front of me. I hit her side on. I wasnt going fast, but because the road was slick i skidded. When I asked her why she pulled out in front of me, didnt she see me, she said, "I thought I could beat you". As if that wasnt bad enough, I told her to hang on as my bumper was hooked under her wheel arch, I wanted to try and unhook it. She drove round the corner taking half my bumper with her. Initialy there was very little damage, but by the time she had ripped half the front of my car off, there was tons of damage. When the insurance investigator came to esses the damage to my car, he was more interested in how clean the inside was. What has that got to do with my crumpled and damaged car? I got full marks for interior cleanliness though. Lol |

But you wouldnt believ it, that insurance man even checked in the ashtrays. Duh, as if that contributed to the accident. I didnt even smoke at the time. |
