COMPO 54 Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Went ferreting today with a lad from work we were shooting over the ferrets, went to the first farm shot two rabbits missed a few had a laugh and ate our lunch at the car, then decided to drive to another farm and to try there. on the way down a country lane and a fecking delivery van comes round a sharp bend on the wrong side of the road (well in the centre at least), the driver was writing on a piece of paper whilst driving, he also appeared to be driving faster than me, suffice to say there was not enough room for both of us, i tried to avoid him but had no where to go he locked his brakes and hit me his skid marks were about 15 feet long mine were about 3-4 feet so i guess i was driving slower, my car has severe damage to both doors on the drivers side, and both the front and rear wing......... we limped home after my mate had taken a load of pics on his phone including skid marks i have spent all afternoon on the phone, the car is at the garage, i have developed a stiff arm and neck (doctor said whiplash and has signedme off work ) i am pissed off and have only just sat down with a glass of Shiraz to ease my pain what a fecking day Quote Link to post

wilba1985 0 Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 if it was a country lane he may struggle to claim. but its worth a go. as in some lanes theres it is classed as bumb for bumb unless there was no other route to your destination. Quote Link to post
COMPO 54 Posted October 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 it was a public road, he was in my half of the road, he was writing at the wheel, and his skid marks are 3 times longer than mine :11: a solicitor has already been appointed Quote Link to post
