How can it cause so much damage


Went to pick up DD from school on Thursday, and one of the other mums reversed her people carrier into the front of my little punto.

I wasn't there at the time, but assume it was @ low speed, yet it has smashed drivers side light, cracked the bumper, dented the bonnet & bent front wing so that I can't open door.

Thnakfully she's insured.

Barely a scratch on her car, yet mine had to be taken away on low loader as garage said not safe to drive due to door.

Awaiting insurance company to inspect it prior to garage fixing it. Also waiting for hire car on Monday.

What a nightmare, I just can't believe how much damage its done!

Dread to think if i'd been in the car.

At least theres no way insurance can dispute whose at fault.

Ironically, just received my renewal today, so shouldn't affect premium. Will be interesting to see whgen I get other quotes mind.

FIL says will have to declare it , but 'cos I wasn't @ fault it won't affect premiums.

At least hire cars sorted for Mon.
