    dented door

    in the pub not drinking beer dont worry. Just gone out to the car to find someone in a fiesta has parked mm from my car and dented my door. I have jotted there number plate down. And taken a pic with my phone but what should i do about this. Im not having a dented door, because some scum hit it with there door. They weren't there earlier. Do i just ring my insurance company up and explain what has happened. Or what never had this happen to me before

    You will struggle with insurance and end up claiming off your own to rectify the damage.

    Happened me the other night in Tesco, i was FUMING. f'*kin IDIOT in an N reg galaxy piece of junk parked within 6 inches of my drivers side, all at an angle like he had parked at speed if you know what i mean. no major sign of dents on mine but there was in his when i left....measured about size 11 i think

    I had to get my misses to reverse out as i had deliberately parked tight to a wall on the near side.

    If its a well placed dent in the other car you want, make sure its somewhere that would make it fail an mot, like a side indicator....or lamp. That means he/she could get pulled by cops etc etc etc and make their life a misery.
    Still here somewhere........

    yes it has angered me. Even though its rusty nasty fiesta its still someone else car. Think it would be much more satisfying waiting for the owner the introducing his legs to my 9 iron lol joke by the way

    You could try and bluff it - isn't there some way of getting the drivers details from the reg number, send them a letter saying you've got CCTV from the pub?

    but they could bring themselves to damage yours?

    They probably dont care about their car the way we do so its not really the same impact it would have on us.

    Better than a size 11 to their face and ending up talking to a man with funny white curly hair


    Chill its all cool
