-=JR=- Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 I bought a brand new shiny silver Skoda Octavia VRS on Tuesday. The missus has just phoned and told me some bloody woman has reversed into the side of it. I'm just off to smash my head against a wall...

Look on the bright side.....if your lucky the woman might even be insured, unlike the little chav that reversed into my Son's car at Easter. :o :o :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-=JR=- Posted May 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 I think your all looking over the important fact. It was a skoda That badge is actually a sophisticated anti-theft device - 180bhp Turbo and no-one will nick it 'cause its a Skoda I've calmed down a bit now I've seen the damage. A new door should be enough to put it right. But how the hell do you not see a bloody great sparkling silver car on a sunny day like today?!

Ask the woman who pulled out in front of my MOTORBIKE the same question. Lights on Indicators going bright red bike jacket on sunny clear day her excuse when i went for a Burton was ("sorry i didn't see you") The policeman took her details and about a week n a half later i got a letter from HQ telling me the woman showed " poor judgment " it took near 2 weeks for them to come to the conclusion I came to within less than a second of unpowerd flight over her car Scratch one Kawak Ninja and 2 years previous on the NEXT roundabout up (about 700 yards) ANOTHER one did the same but luckily i was in a car at the time. She just kept on motoring away after the incident and when i eventually caught up and told her to pull over HER excuse was I didn't feel a thing!!! So i pointed out the huge crater in the side of her car and mine being devoid of lights grille and my bodywork mangled Makes you wonder LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axe Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 LG, The same thing happened to me. Out for a Sunday ride with the girl friend on the back, so I was actually riding within the 60mph limit! Oncoming car appears to stop for a right hand turn accross my path, then just as we approach the junction out it pulls and hits me dead on. It was a typical overcast but dry day and my head lights were on. No justice, after crushing the wifes back and me being left for dead and in a coma for 4 weeks, before finally leaving the hospital 3 months later with a few extra metal plates holding things together, I learn that the guy got 3 points and £150 fine. As for the Skoda, well its proving poular with the local taxi cab firms. I did have a look at one, wasnt my cup of tea. Good peice of engineering but sadly let down with the interior quality. Good value for money though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavman Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 My mates just been written off by a Turk driver who works at a local take away, the mate is 3rd party insurance the Turk has none, nor tax nor MOT, Police say he has two chances of getting a new car, slim and none and slim is out of town! The car is on the never never and he has three years to pay for a car he cant drive and no fault of his own! a new door sounds a better bet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little known fact is there is a scheme running (a lot of them dont want you knowing about) where some of the premiums are sent to another body for non fault accidents such as your friends. Get him to take a stroll to the Citizens advice bureau (spelling) and have a word with them. The law as it stands stinks and i think people who drive uninsured should face a real stiff penalty and in the case of Migrant workers they should be deported LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossy835 Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 ya deported after they pay for it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Thing is, they are being paid with Tax payers money, so therfore we would be paying. I think its fair to say that people who drive uninsured should really be made to pay and harsher penalties should be introduced. But unfortunately, with increasing premium costs, kids (and you know who I mean) are less likely to bother. Especially when they have nothing to loose.

My Wife, Son and myself have all been involved in no fault of our own accidents in an 11 month period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftycarper Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Nothing wrong with Skoda, don't know what the fuss is all about. They did quite well at rallying few years back, anyhow if you look at most cars these day's take off the badges and wheel trims they all look the bloody same. Oh and by the way i don't own a skoda...
