Title: Bugger !
Post by: Bartop on July 20, 2006, 22:03:27 PM
Just getting the Foz where I wanted it and some muppet in a Land Rover Discovery runs into the back of me on the way home tonight whilst Im sat in traffic on the M25 :(

Looks like a new bumper but the tailgate is creased as well :cry:

At least the rear lights survived as they are off a Forester STi and not so easy to replace..

Oh well, one of those things I guess but seems to be a lot of it about at the moment !

Any rear shunt is always their fault, Id imagine they have to cough up.

I cant see as there will be much to contest, I was stationary and the guy drove into me...

If you know that stretch of the M25 at that time of day youll know there wouldnt have been much speed involved ;)

..although now you mention it my neck does seem to be stiffening up ! :twisted:

Guy admitted it was his fault but tbh its just the hassle factor of getting it sorted..

Dont bother fraudulently claiming, Why do you think everyones premiums go up every year?  Theres no such thing as free money, the insurance companys get it back eventually.
