hi all,
i havnt been on here in ages! so sorry about that.
well, on tuesday i had an incident with another driver.
basically, i turned right out of a road as another car was turning left into my road. as i straightened up i see someone trying to overtake the person doing the left into the road i come out of. i pretty much stopped as i had only just started moving anyway and the overtaking car pulled back behind the car it was trying to overtake.
so i started on my way again, and as i looked in my rear view mirror i see him doing a 3 point turn, and then chase me up the road.
there was no way i was stopping to have a row or anything. so i accellerated to 30 and stuck there.
he caught up to me and over took me (god knows why he done this) but instead of carrying on, he decided to slam on his brakes and pull over.
at this point i proceeded to go round him as the safer option for me and him. there was no way i was stopping this thing in the wet that soon anyway!
so as i turned to go round him, he turned into my path to block me.
therefore my car smashed into his rear drivers quarter and now im left with a disabled car.
my front passenger wheel sort of hit him first so you can imagine the damage. other than that its just ach extension, wing, bumper and grill oh and headlight area.
as i hit him though, my car carried on and pushed him along a bit. i suppose thats what happens when 2 tons hits a polo.
the driver of the polo then drove off, and passers by and other drivers rushed over to see if i was ok. if it wasnt for them saying to me that they are happy to be my witness due to his reckless driving then i wouldnt have any witnesses! i was too shocked tbh..
but i have made it a little hard for myself as when i took my insurance policy i declined to legal cover to make it cheaper
and im 3rd party fire/theft
i didnt know it was so hard to get the other insurance company to deal with this! next time im going fully comp and legal cover is being taken too.
so, i think its going to be written off but i will have to wait and see.
gutted
