badger Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 as some of you might know i had a small accident on the way to western park on sunday when i slid into the back of skippy(and came worse off). i had never been involved in a accident before and the car was not drivable home due to a holed radiator and no front lights. so what to do ?????? i could of phoned a friend or private recovery truck but at 7-00 on easter sunday morning that could cost a fair amount so what do you do ???? i now wonder how many of you know what would happen if you were involved in a accident where the car was no longer driveable... so lets see who knows ?????? all answers below please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badger Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 i would like to think i am covered on my insurance and they would sort my transport home you will be covered for recovery if fully comp but not to go home they will only take your car to the nearest repairer or at a weekend a secure holding compound and drop you at the nearist public transport station .. if you want the vechile recovered to your home that would be at your own cost.

Guest Lee81 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Will still count as an accidient so you may as well claim the right off value or repair. soon as you notify it counts as an accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basilbear Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 You crashed into the bac of Skippy its not car insurance you need Ian its life insurance FPMSL Ha! ha! Dennis that is amusing..............I was more gutted for Ian though as poor Bruce did come off worse. I must admit I was a little frightened to get out and look though as the bang did make all the things jump out of my console! ha! It just shows how good the filled bumpers are, even after 20+years, as all it did to Skippy was a few dents and scratches in his bumper and a slight pushing in of the body work behind it, but it wasn't as bad as I would have expected after seeing what happened to poor 'Bruce's' front! Anyway I hope to get Skippy done before the next show. Thanks Avril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
