accident

As a follow up to the previous poll and reflecting on yet another poll about passing first time I thought I'd combine the two. Sorry for hijack. No comments just vote. Second or greater is implied.

Hi Unfortunately my wife has been involved in a car accident today, our car was hit by a lorry. Thankfully nobody was injured as the accident was more of a severe scrape than direct impact. I have not seen the car yet, but from what I have been told, the damage is doors, wing mirror, from...

Here the BBC have mapped accident data from 2008, and provided a fairly simple way of looking at some of the analysis behind that data. The front page also has an interesting write-up on the reduction of road-deaths over the last 10 years. It makes for sobering thought - most of us on here...

Someone went into my merc so i got a courtesy car. A friend of mine borrowed the car saying he was insured to drive any car third party due to his insurance. Someone hit into him and he gave his details. We've now realised my friend was not insured to drive hire cars. What's going to...

Well, well, well. It seems HMG have been quietly cooking the statistical books to make their "Road Safety" policies look good. Short article which includes a link to the full DfT report here. I wonder why this publication didn't get the same trumpeting from Ministers as the one earlier this...

Had a little prang on my way into work this morning - turned right at some lights and had to stop just down the road for some traffic and the chap behind failed to spot the rather large, rather black Mercedes blocking his way. No major probs, pretty impressive from the insurance comapnies -...

Just went to tesco's for a sandwich and as i was driving out the car in front suddenly had to brake to avoid crashing with a bus that pulled out without indication! BANG! my car hit his and the bus was away!:doh: I have swapped details with the elderly couple that I hit and have faxed the...

Earlier on I was enjoying a pint in the beer garden of the local pub, as you may find yourself doing on a sunny Sunday afternoon. There was a bit of a screech/tinkle which made people's heads look up.. turned out to be a guy who had parted company with his bike on a roundabout the other side of...

Whilst out and about this morning I decided to call in home to make a sandwich for lunch. As I drove up my road I could see my neighbour and his wife and some other people including two police officers standing outside. My neighbour told me that there had been a accident on his property. He...

I had a small accident today on my way to work which resulted in a lost repeater plastic cover and a very slight superficial scratch on my wheelarch. Do you reckon is it worth it to buy smoked or clear ones? And how easy is to take them off? Nik

Any one else received this? A complimentary service from M-B Direct that, in the event of you being involved in an accident that leaves you off the road through no fault of your own. Quoting from the letter;- "If an accident leaves you off the road through no fault of your own the law...

While parked, ready to go home @ 3am, some muppet hit my car. Luckly managed him my front wheel and bounced off, avoding any body contact. The guy admited his fault and gave details of his rental car details. Contacted them directly, but they said the guy needs to confirm the incident when he...

Driving into work this morning through sunny Virginia Water I saw a poor soul sat on the verge with his rather sad and scratched Harley next to him. In the road was a rather mangled young deer about the size of a large dog. I stopped to see if he was alright and he said he was. He looked...

This morning (well about 11:30) i woke to a crashing sound in front of my house. I checked outside my window and didnt think it had anything to do with me then i went back to my bed, The bell rang and i went to answer, it was my neighbour, apparently he was doing some DIY and when he extended...

:( Hi all - Advice requested: I was driving past a car who had stopped for fuel in a service station today - I was going slowly (slow walking pace) and as my door was alongside the other car's passenger door the 5 yr old girl (who was invisible before as she was not in a booster seat etc)...

hi i've got a bit of a problem with my car insurance. (Admiral) I was quoted £566 for insurance with no accidents. I phoned up to pay for it as it wouldnt let me pay online for some reason.... they then told me that because i was involved in a non-fault accident last year (a motorbike...
