My poor E500

[IlovetheW140]

Hi everyone,
I am new here. I own two Mercedes: a W211 E500 and an W140 CL420 Coupe. Today on the roundabout just around from my house, an old lady ignored the right of way and smashed into the front passenger side of my E500. I was turning off to the right. What a mess. She was following her husband who was driving another car and whom I just narrowly avoided as her cut me up on the same roundabout. I invited them in my house to exchange details and for a glass of water/cup of tea as the lady seemed a bit shaken. All they could go on about is how it wasn't their fault. What part of the Highway Code did they not understand . Anyway, my car is a bit of a mess. I can't believe that I just returned from Hungary (working for MB of Hungary out there) with not so much as a scratch and then .....

Just plain Bad Luck John. Hate it when it happens like that.

All the nause now of insurance claims and form filling and all that blx.

Hope you get a good result from your insurers.

You have my sympathies - I'd be mortified .

Unfortunately your act of kindness is unlikely to be reciprocated when they start the insurance process, elderly or not.

Hope you get it sorted out OK, and with the minimum amount of fuss.

All they could go on about is how it wasn't their fault. What part of the Highway Code did they not understand .

The part which states that one must give way to traffic already on a roundabout?

Hope you get a good result from their insurers.

Fixed that for ya, TJ!
