What was that idiot doing in the wrong side of the road! Must have been terrifying in the Pug in front, watching a car heading straight for you. Can’t imagine it was much better from your perspective either mind!

Hope all is ok, cars can be replaced etc.

Are you ok?

I think people have forgotten how to drive. I’ve had 3 hair’s breadth nearlies in the last two days and I reckon I’ve only done 20 miles.

The 2 today were the closest, sitting in a turn right lane bloke coming the other way is looking in a shop window and only realised he was on my side of the road when I hit the horn. 2nd one guy pulled out of a side road turning across me when I was about 10m from the junction. Ms actually said she has no idea how I managed to brake and miss him.

The woman who hit me was trying to commit suicide, she had her mental health carer in the car and she said to her ' I'm going to end it all' and pulled out into the oncoming traffic and accelerated. she was doing over 60 and I was doing 40 so quite a bump.
She was arrested at the scene but the political issues around mental health are complicating things for the police who want to charge her for Dangerous driving with intent to cause injury or death but so far the CPS are not helping. Can't say more at present.

Her insurance company invoked Article 75 which means they totally disowned her and will not pay out for anything or anyone because her actions were deliberate.
Apart from a bad back and whiplash I'm OK. Could have been worse.

I'm with Zurich Private Client who have said they will cover my loss but what impact on my ongoing policy cost is yet to be seen and when they will pay out is in the laps of the gods.
My Lusso had a bent A pillar at the bottom of the door and a bent floor section so it has been written off Cat B so has to be broken up.
So bought this beauty to cheer myself up

what a complete ducker. I can’t believe they’re allowed to do that I thought as it was traffic act insurance they had to cover 3rd party but could deny her claim.

Like others I had no idea an insurance company could duck a claim like this - unbelievable
