Shopping Trolly

[nism0man]

today i was parked at a little store to grab some drinks with my brother just before work. we were sitting in my car just waiting for my car to cool off before i turned off the ignition. and to my suprise i saw a shooping trolly rolling towards my car....then everything seemed like it was in slow motion.....BASH!!!......into my passenger side door.....i got out and ran over to see wat had happened......the side of my gtr was left with a big scratch GRRRRRRRRRRRR......i then ran over to see who was to blame to what happened to my car...it was some old lady getting ready to drive off until i jumped in the way an stopped her.....i told her that she left a trolly off a slope and it bashed not onli into my car but someone elses car too. i asked for her details, she then went and told me that she was 70 and she lived alone had no insurance and that she was on pension. at this point i just left it and walked away in frustration...i still wonder to myself if i should have gotten her details or if i did the right thing an just let it go....but even now im still frustrated as hell that my baby has a scratch down the side of it.

sorry abt this guys just venting some anger.....GGRRRRR shit like this should never happen

If you've got her number plate go into the cop shop and say she did a runner. she shouldn't be driving without third party!

[dan_the_man]

Good for you letting her off (serious)

[NA_Goodness]

You earn more then she does. Stupid old lady should have at least admitted fault, or came over to appologised, but you did the right thing letting her off. Hopefully it doesnt cost too much to fix

The pension excuse.....theres no getting around that, sorry to hear bud its just one of those things u cant do anything about, sucks big time.

What if one day she fails to pull the handbrake on infront of a car yard full of Aston Martin's?

How i see it if you cant afford insurance, you cant afford a car therefore you shouldn't be able to drive.

I think that's rude, she could have at least invited you for some tea and scones.

Im pretty sure even if she was insured because its in a car park the insurance wont cover it anyway? Someone scraped the side of my wifes R34 in a car park and did a runner, we got the plate etc but the insurance company wudnt do SFA coz its in a carpark?

aww man , shopping karts drift so well too

Damn, I'd ditch your insurer,

They should treat it as someone vandalizing your car/car accident/hit and run

Wtf im 70 and on pension.. Well lady looks like ur pension is going to me for the next couple months.. Hell no karma bullshit doesnt work its all made up myths... i would of made her pay straight out

[burkill]

f*ck it, she will die soon.

i pretty much place gtrs above everything.

[R33GTRKid]

how I look at is it was not her driving or her car that caused the damage to your car so why the f**k would insurance even come into it - your insurance will however cover it as will most likely her house and contents policy, strange I know but that comes with PL insurance to cover this very type of thing most times.

as for the comment about car park, don't think so mate, comprehensive or third party insurance is to cover negligent driving of the insured motor vehicle no matter where the driving occurred.

Let me know guess, they told you that and you said okay.....

next time that happens tell them you want the decision appealed through their internal process and if that fails go to the insurance ombudsmen

[nism0man]

dammit i started to feel bad wen she said that she was old and stuff....but cant do much more abt it now....i guess ill just sit here and cry

[Inferno]

I'd roll a shopping cart into her car... see how she likes it

[ztuned]

Andrew ur bro has slow reflexes lol...nah jks

bad luck man, it's pretty hard to argue with old people, they are just so retarded

[Mayuri Krab]

I would still make her pay something, if she doesn't have the $ to pay for the total cost of the spray then make her pay 1/2 or 1/3 of it.

They get $490 per fortnight from center link!!!

Thats like 6 days of 5hr part time work for me!

Then again, I'm just very cheap when it comes to $, runs down in the family...
