Accidents and having to swerve to avoid accidents, i can understand. Curbing the alloys because you simply can't drive or judge what your doing properly has no excuse.

i nearly agree with you. i wouldn't swerve for a dog, i'd slow down if it was safe, if not i'd muller it.

second - yes. if you care so much about the condition of the alloys, park more carefully. before you spend £££ repairing them; think - if you were daft enough to do it once, you are probably daft enough to kerb it again.

Its a natural reaction to swerve to avoid another life!!
Plus I think hitting a dog at 30 would do a fair bit of damage to the car front.

i reckon shrocco is just messing with us, of course he would swerve whether it be dog or child.  after all, if he hit anything it would dislodge all that rust and his car would start falling apart!  :wink:

unlucky mate, these things happen,  no a guy round my way who repairs wheels with polished/diamond cut faces.

ive always been lucky with my alloys never curbed one on any of my cars, im so carefull.
