Grrrr... Someone drove into my car today...

...and promptly drove off. Gits!

It's not so badly damaged, but it's a sad indictment of the lack of responsibility in today's society.

I like Al Murray's proposed answer to the problem of 'Broken Britain': SHAME!

Gits, did you manage to get any details?
Could have been worse though :?

Someone did that to my Brother's car when we were coming back from the city center so we chased after him, me shouting out the window "pull over!! We'll just follow you!"

Finally he secummed, lol, in part due to his crappy motor and got out his car. Me and bro got out, he started to s*** himself and sweat. We were polite though, my brother said something like "its not bumper cars out there, you're obliged to pull over"

Luckily it was just a scratch. My cousins car 2 weeks back didnt fair as well.The woman who pulled out of a t junction into his front passenger side wheel did pull over, but fluttered her eyes at him and said "maybe you'd better try your car out up and down the road."

Silly little beggar, being niave too, did what she said and when he returned she'd naffed off. I said it was lucky he wasnt done for leaving the scene of an accident. :roll:

Coudn't agree more! These bu88ers are the first to scream about their rights, as well.

I was parked up in an Asda carpark last winter. It was late so it was nearly empty; there was nothing parked within 80 - 100m. I was out of the car stretching my legs when I heard a crunch behind me. A young lassie (v. cute; big brown eyes, shoulder length chestnut hair in a pony tail, v. curvy) had reversed into the car.

"How did you manage that, then?", I asked.

"It's not my fault - it's a hire car!", she said, "My car's got the wee detector things and I didn't know this one doesn't."

"It couldn't have helped that you were on the 'phone though."

"I wasn't on the 'phone."

"Yes, you were. I saw you!"

No. I wasn't - I was topping it up!"

So, that's all right then. I got her a good deal on the repair to avoid going through the insurers, but she wouldn't answer, or return, the calls. Wee tramp!!!

I didn't get any details. My car was parked at the time while I was off having a coffee.

There's no way they couldn't have known about it though - it's clear they hit it and kept going!

[Philosophical]You're right - it could have been a lot worse and it's only a car after all...[/Philosophical]

Sadly, nothing new about having your car driven into & then the miscreant effing off!
The, possibly apocryphal tale, of the bloke, parking in the pub car park, returning to find a note on his now dented car saying "The bloke watching thinks I'm leaving you my name and address, but I'm not HA HA!"

As OffTheBackAdam said, it is nothing new :evil:

About 20 years ago I had a blue Ford Sierra. It was not long after they had come out, was only about 18 months old, and it was my pride and joy. But boy was that car jinxed :shock: :shock:

It was hit 4 times in total. Twice when it was parked while I was shopping, once at a pub, and once while it was parked outside my parents. ( and before anyone says it - NO, it is not an indictment of my parkng skills!!) On all occasions the damage required repair - it was not just superficial. None of the micreants left their details either - surprise, surprise :twisted:

The last occasion was the most "interesting". A neighbour of my parents reversed out of their drive straight in to the front of my parked car. It completely wrecked the front bumper and radiator grill which required replacement. The girl that did it completely denied it and because there were no witnesses I couldn't prove it - even though there were still traces of MY blue paint on her car :shock: . I even involved the police but they said there was nothing they could do - despite the paint. They actually admitted that they knew it was her but couldn't pursue the case. Maybe it had got something to do with her brother living just over the road and also being a local policeman?? :shock:

I can't recall having a problem with any of my other cars - it was just that one!!

A few years ago (about 1993), I parked my VW 1303L in a designated parking area to the rear of my brother's house in Stretford, Manchester.
After leaving his house I approached my car from the driver's side and attempted to open the door.

A chap in a car parked next to mine called to me and got my attention. He then apologised for the damage he did to mine whilst attempting to reverse
into the parking bay next to my car. To be honest I wouldn't have noticed it, as it was on the opposite side to which I was entering the VW.

He said he had waited 35 minutes and felt guilty as it would have been stressful to the car owner to find such damage to their car. (As it turned out, god's honest truth, he lived in my brother's house during the 60s). Nice old fella he was. We happened to have the same insurance company so the claim went through very smoothly.
