If we had a drawing board here i’d draw you a diagram…

This morning as I was driving down a st, about to turn into a driveway and car park at a neighbourhood shop/ corner dairy. When I was hit by a car in the side of the van.. .. you are kidding me .. I had indicated .. was in the middle of the street, semi stopped and then turned and she was over taking me and hit me .. lucky neither of us was going fast ..I was nearly stopped and she was about 30 kmh… but she still made a HUGE dent in my van!!!

She made it out to be my fault .. that i was not in the middle of the road , that I was on the left of the road and turned in front of herb.. blah blah .. I was so shaken I just wabnted to exchnage details and go .. but she was ranting and raving and as I called the insurance company she said … she was not insured.. OH MY GOD!!!!

My company said that if she was not insured and was not claiming liable that i had to front with the $300 excess on my insurance .. loose my no claims bonus before the claim could be settled… grrrrrrrrrrr.

After she left i called my police friend .. he said go to the police station .. make an un attended report… everyone I have spoken too said she was in the wrong .. she hit me in the middle wich shows I was already in the turn when she passed me ..

We are all ok .. infact .. one of my care kids had gone to sleep .. and it was his side that got hit .. and he slept throgh it.. No one cried .. or got upset.. they all said .. that lady hit your car ..

I had S and Maxi in the car too so they sat with the kids and fed them and talked to them while I dealt with the lady and insurance company.

I took it to panel beater tonight and they said it is close to write off… buggar me !!!!

will keep you all up dated ..

Am on TOH’s computer and the buttons are sticking on his keyboard .. its ancient so I am not happy typing here .. I have to thump like and old typewriter.. and backspace sucks ..
