driving home this afternoon through the centre of Bradford, in the outside of 2 lanes of traffic when the cars in front stopped, i stopped but the twunt on the scooter behind dind't. he tried to get round me but didn't make it & hit my nearside rear quarter. he stayed on the bike & rode off - i managed to catch up a couple of hundred yards later but soon as he saw me he was off through a traffic jam & i had no chance of catching him. he's left 3 separate dents & a 10" long scratch right down to the metal. the police can't do anything 'cos i didn't get his full number plate (plus the likelihood is he wasn't insured if he legged it). CCTV on the road isn't good enough resolution to record a number plate on a bike so i'm now left with a fault claim on my insurance which will knock my no claims, plus i have a £250 excess anyway which will probably cover the cost of the repair. i'm guessing its too big for a chip repair company. so now i have to chase round getting repair quotes. i'm starting to think the car is jinxed
You aint having much luck with this car, are you Pat?? As long as the metal isn't creased, it needn't be a bodyshop job - the photos dont show up too well though
Shhhhiut! ... sorry to here this Pat, know how you look after your car and for some twonk to do that must have peed you off to say the least, hope you get it sorted soon mate.
Whatever you do dont let Scotthall Leeds bodyshop loose on it, they resprayed my bonnet with there eyes closed I think, am having it done again in a couple of weeks by a professional
Sorry about your car, can't believe irresponsible people who won't own up to their actions, when you work hard to have a nice car and they just come along and damage it and drive off. Never fear - I'm a big believer in Karma. Let's hope he falls off his scooter and scrapes all the skin off his ar5e!
Makes me sooo angry when people dont have the decency to admit to this kinda stuff. Hope you can get it sorted quickly and cheaply.
My mini is still at the body centre because some kids threw a brick at it! the police coudnt do anything cos noone would admit 2 it iv got some contacts though
Sorry to hear about your incident Pat What with your side windscreen now this you must be REALLY PI""ED OFF At least you were not hurt( physically)
Hope the little barsteward gets his just rewards
