Rammed in the arse by a 16ton lorry!

[Gray]

I was sat at a set of traffic lights yesterday with about 10 cars in front of me, stationary handbrake on... then BANG!

Some t**t in a 16ton lorry piled into the back of me which shunted me into a brand new vectra!

The bloke wasnt even bothered got out and said "ooh weve had a bump"

Look at the ripple down the side of the car FFS!

[RichMcc]

Gutting fella, be greatful you weren't seriously hurt it could have been a lot worse.
Why would he be worried... probably not his lorry anyway
I fricken hate lorrys...

 

[Gray]

Yeh the lorry wont be his, he works for a haulage company...

My neck is killg me, majour whip lash and ive pulled a muscle in my shoulder!

bin on the fone to insurers for 3hrs total today just sorted a cover car out

Ive been told i need to get 2 independant quotes on the repair bill for my car until then the insurance ppl cant do a thing apparantly? but i know the car will be a write off?

 

[Dave]

You'd have needed to cut me out of that car.

yeah i had to get quotes like that. I eventually had to go yesterday and get a quote from the garage the insurer of the guy that hit me uses, because hes the one having to make a claim.

I think they just need photo evidence and have it written on paper that its a write off, rather than you just telling them kinda thing?

you could possibly get somesort of compensation for your injury though. cause that sucks.

ps. when it comes to it, if you want to sell your wheels first dibs!

 

[lee_cup]

thats a shitter mate, put in a claim for whip lash, you might get something in a years time (which would be nice)

i remember when i got hit by an Artic, was so pissed off, because the guy was an unisured imigrant grrrrrrrrrrr

Glad your ok, hope it gets sorted

 

[DougClio16v]

Sorry to hear you got shafted a good un' mate, I know exactly how you feel. Shame, looked like a really nice motor you had. More stupid drivers on the road these days then ever!

 

[DebV6]

Oh no, sorry to hear that I never trust lorries. Hope you get it sorted, and glad you are ok

 

[Gray]

What was the name of the company on the truck???

The crash happened in Alfreton.. on Derby road acutally!

If you go down the A38 its the first Alfreton turn off you come to then first exit on the roundabout.

 

[Giles]

hope you get it sorted

 

[Rob]

Ouch, real shame, good your ok apart from the whiplash though....

My mate was on a bus early last year, just him and his friend, (rural area) and got hit by a guy in a company van, they both got minor whiplash and were both awarded 4k compensation, which has just come through.

Go for the compensation!

He's not a propper lorry driver anyway, if he drove an artic like me he'll know that he needs to leave his breaking distance with 44 ton on . People in cars do brake a bit too hard sometimes when there's a big truck behind though and people need to bare in mind that it take more to stop 44 ton than a clio

For those that don't know to work out your braking distance for any vehicle is you count from a fixed point on the road just as the vehicle in front has gone past, it's 2 seconds in the dry, 4 seconds in the wet and anything up to 6 times what it is in the dry in the ice

 

[terribleclio]

the road that the big tescos on?

Lorry driver can see clean over the top of the clio at the stationary line of cars anyway...
