shims Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Isn't amazing how a simple q from the op about costs to insurance companies has turned into a bad tempered rant on driving ability? It didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteMorris Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I can't believe the OP has been the subject of such a vitriolic attack on her driving ability. Yep she made a mistake! She learnt a valuable lesson, and won't be doing it again in a hurry. End of. Can everyone on here truthfully say, and I emphasise the word 'truthfully' that they are such excellent drivers they have never made a mistake or done something silly in a car? I've been driving for 38 years and never had an accident, but that doesn't mean I havn't done something daft on the odd occasion. I've been lucky!

If you were driving a (quite possibly never damaged) Mondeo of a mere three-years-old, that you may care about and were clipped by someone pulling in too soon when overtaking you, you might feel differently. Some people care a lot for their cars, others don't. Maybe you wouldn't call that dangerous driving but the police might differ. The main concern seemed to be the perceived high cost to repair the innocent party's car and the fact that they wanted it to go through their insurance.

Conrod Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Your post is worthless, as it's rather futile trying to be sarcastic about the driving of another person you don't know and haven't observed. A remarkable post, coming from somebody who draws all sorts of conclusions and accuses somebody else of dangerous driving without knowing the details of a minor accident they've just referred to. Indeed, it's drawing conclusions and making accusations about "the driving of another person you don't know and haven't observed". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other poster is wildly speculating for no reason at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only things that are 'monumental' are your disinterest in processing the information supplied and your preference for trolling myself. :love: etc. The information is limited for all of us to what we have been provided with. I guess you must also overtake cars at a few miles per hour faster than they are travelling, despite being legally able to do considerably more and perhaps, sometimes, clipping the car you are overtaking despite having plenty of space. As I stated, if the overtaken car had been a police car the outcome would be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sccsux Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 And I suppose you're a paragon of immaculate deriving at all times Never had an accident (nor caused one), never had a claim against me, never had a speeding ticket, nor a parking fine, not a tram gate contravention fine nor a "fine" from Excel/VCS:hihi:. Can everyone on here truthfully say, and I emphasise the word 'truthfully' that they are such excellent drivers they have never made a mistake or done something silly in a car? Not made a mistake whilst driving, done many silly things in cars, though not on public roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if we're sensible and reasonable about it that is . No one ever does unless they have some decent video footage of the incident. I find nothing unreasonable in expecting another driver who has, after all, chosen to overtake you, to be able to do so without colliding with your vehicle. Period.
