ONE less blind driver on Aucklands roads-for now.

[FROSTY]

Well guys n gals Ol Frosty just took one for "the team".
Out and about in the old van picking up an assortment of lil bikes n quads I was driving down a 2 way road -2 lanes each way. .
In the right lane everything good with the world untill the lady in the left lane decided she wanted to be where I was.
Hmm -er lady gidday--Im in a 5 meter long 2.0m tall van-- surely ya see me here"
Aparently not and she parks her rear passenger door into my left front bullbar.
-HOKAY -I can't brake hard -theres a concrete truck behind me -I cant turn right theres oncoming traffic so just carry on. denting her back door then pillar then drivers door.
THEN she thinks --"hmm maybee thats not a good idea."
Damage to the van--paint removed from bullbar--bugger
Damage to car -er 2 doors and a pillar smacked in.
If I was on a bike I hate to imagine the damage it woulda done.

Paint lost from the bullbar? There's just no justice, is there?

--Hang on--Just had another look--theres a scratch on the tip of the bullbar might need sanding before I paint it

Bout to jump into the cage last tuesday, phoenix just pulled up outside my work to pick me up. Hes stoped on the side of the road behind a honda civic and a Toyota Rav. A bus pulls out of a bus stop about 20m back, straight into a van travelling in the lane, panics and pulls to the left, hitting our car pushing it up onto the footpath, and pushing the civic in front of us straight into the Rav. She tried to claim she braked.... but I was standing there and she so didnt

Oh well another 3 weeks without a car

Before you paint it?

No no friend. This is clearly an insurance job. Van'll need a complete repaint ,at least. And odds are that your evasive action (which probably saved the crash from being a fatality) caused tyre damage. You'll need a new set . And the extra load of crumpling the blind woman's car, has undoubtedly caused excessive engine wear. I reckon a new engine is one the list. All in all it'll be lucky not to be a writeoff (depends on if you can buy the wreck back for a few quid)

[cowboyz]

take the insurance money and buy a kwaka. I realise the balance will be off in the van with more paint weight on one side but youll get used to it. Good oppourunity for an upgrade. You did have one of those solid gold bull bars on the van huh?

Sanding before painting? Puff.

Interesting convo this arvo. Hello this is XXXX from XXXX insurance.
Our client tells us you caused an accident between yourself and her.
My reply--Ohh yes and how exactly did I do this?
You were speeding and hit her car.
Hmm did she tell you about the two witness statements ?
No.
Ok well to be clear-At the moment I am NOT claiming for damages to my vehicle however should she wish to procede down this path I will do so.
I do have two independent eye witnesses who are happy to testify that your client changed lanes into the side of me and that I was travelling in a stream of traffic at 50km/h. You have untill close of business today to come back to me as to your intent in this matter.

Mate Id be claiming just to teach the bitch a lesson, heck even go kick a couple of your own dents in there

[Mully]

And of course the whiplash you suffered as a result of the accident.

Plus, it's a work vehicle so Millar's Car Centre will need a rental van while this one is getting repaired (to Frosty's standard)

Haha - silly cow had probably already told everybody that it was your fault.

[Dare]

You were speeding and hit her car.
Tui ad. I mean, seriously. HTFU and learn to drive without blaming others for your lack of judgement/eyesight! (Aimed at her)

[shafty]

Disbelief Frosty - are you experienced at those sort of speeds?

That's it, I'm getting a Bull Bar for the Pan Euro....
