Believe me I thought it was worse! It made a right bang. I just hope the idiot came off worse than I did. How difficult is it to stay in the left hand side of the road? I found a thread about one and the mirror glass alone is £86.86! Looks like its gonna cost It must be because the mirror is heated.

Damn... didn't know it was that much. I just hope you can get it sorted for a fair price. Don't get spraying your mirror, get someone else.

It makes me so angry that people could be like this, when people like us, who are insured and use the roads sensibly (I'm sure we all have our moments) have to folk out loads more for our insurance just because they cannot be bothered.

Yup, it is annoying that everyones insurance is put up so high to cover the cost of all those that aren't insured. One of the problems is that even when they get caught, the fines given out are usually far less than what they would have actually paid if they had insurance, so they're still saving money! You'll only start reducing the number of uninsured drivers once they start getting properly punished ie. having to pay out in fines much more than what they would have paid if they'd remained legal.

He thought I had run out of petrol and was offering a lift! He seemed to be a nice guy and said his mate could fit it up at his spray shop cheap.

Do not take the offer of a cheap spray shop!!

I have been around a while, and smell a rat there. I may be wrong, but think about it.

It's dark so you don't see the car that hits you, (probably stolen, an old banger, or ringed etc)
The guy who stopped! Yeh, nice fella, nice partner to someone who owns a body repair centre who wants some work their way!
He thought you ran out of petrol!!
I think not!
It's this time of year when unfortunately we all have to keep allert. .
