Car

Last night a disqualified driver crashed into our parked car. Steve had popped over Tim's and had parked his car where he always parks it. thank goodness Steve wasn't in the car , or that Tommy was in the car.The disqualified, uninsured driver's car and landed in a front garden. The disqualified, uninsured, possibly inebriated driver tried to make a run for it, but luckily neighbours helped to restrain him and the police quickly arrived.
Steve has spent all day talking to the police and insurance company. Our car is a write-off. If an uninsured driver damages your car you're as good as uninsured. There are no words to explain how angry we are. I know the main thing is that no one was hurt. Well, apart from our car.

How awful, I really feel for you. A few years ago an old guy hit Alex's car, which was parked outside his Dads house. Alex ran out as the driver carried on down the road (his car was barely damaged). Luckily he was insured - although he too had tried to get away. Hope it works out.

Gawd, what a nightmare! Is that right - you'd be tantamount to uninsured because the driver was uninsured? What do we pay our insurance for if the insurer won't pay out for what your car was valued at?! I thought they'd pay out - I mean if it was your home that was damaged, say, by a hurricane, they'd pay out and they have no third party to claim their costs back from in that scenario. I hope it all works out in your favour. Bless ya, what a nightmare for you both. xXx

Yours and Mr Robbo's anger was entirely justified - if some idiot is so carefree that they're prepared to get behind the wheel without insurance then I guess he wouldn't have cared less if he had injured or even killed someone. I wonder how our "justice" system will deal with him...

Whoppy love to the three of you!
