Crash #1

[PukkaT6]

in carpark waiting for someone to reverse into space and then get jolted forward - the big purple van was obviously hard to see.

Not much damage at all but rear bumper needs re-wraping

Ffs man

 

[PukkaT6]

He asked who I was insured with lol

 

[Chrisfraser05]

Who? Brentcare?

 

[PukkaT6]

Funny you

Im most annoyed I just added the bumper protector and did so after it was wrapped, not sure how I feel about wrapping around it.

 

[Pauly]

Annoying as f**k but at least it was minor

 

[PukkaT6]

Exactly, told the guy that I will ring him with price for wrap and if he wants to pay for it then I wont even go through his insurance. Accidents happen, no big deal.

50 50 claim, loss of no claims and a ridiculous XS to pay. Oh no wait, that's what the rest of us would have to be putting up with.
Bet they thought you we're joking when you said "I am the insurance company" (said in a judge Dredd sort of way).

 

[PukkaT6]

None of you would have a 50/50 claim from this, he pulled from a parked position and I was established on the road - simple highway code argument

Nightmare! Lucky you are so understanding. I went to the Mail sorting office to pick up a parcel on Saturday and when I walked back out there was a car reversing into the space next to me. A massive space may I add and I think if hadn't pressed the key fob to make the lights flash when I did, she would have drove straight into the passenger side! The lights seemed to of woke her up and she realised she was on a collision course!

A young German guy clipped my wing mirror with his van last week; only a mark left but I can safely say that the look I must have given him was not a friendly one; he appeared to cack himself!

It'll polish out when I get home.

Have you thought about maybe wrapping your van in a colour that stands out in a car park and then maybe making it two colours so that the shape and size stand out and make it obvious you're there.
Oooh here's a thought! Maybe add the name of your insurance company on the side, this will help people work out what they are getting themselves into qhen messing with your van.
I just don't think you've done enough to make your van obvious.
