ARGHHH!! Women drivers!!

[welshgar]

The missus got home from work tonight and forgot to pull the handbrake up!!, our drive is slightly sloping.... yes you guessed it, the car rolled and took out my gates and post, and put some really deep scratches in the rear bumper and boot lid, not to mention i have to fix the gates.

 

arghhhh, she was gutted fair play, but still..........

WHY??? why do women do it??

the problem i have now is whether or not to get the insurance involved... as i havent really told them about alloys!!

the respray alone will cost a fair bit i think.....so do i risk it with the insurance and lose my no claims and pay the excess, or get it done at my expense??!! maybe a r32 rear bumper thrown in!

aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Dinky]

why dont u get prices before claimin?

its not all women...

i've never done that... my dad leavin my cr in gear.. that annoys me...

i'd get prices first n see if it is worth claiming... might be able to pick up bits pretty cheap round ere.. or scrappy? front end damage golf?

[topher]

check what your excess is first for that kind of claim.. probably cheaper to get it sorted out of your own pocket.

Its not only women drivers but I will admit we do (most men) notice women who do alot more in terms of screw ups, but then hey, women will point out every mans screw up so its fair!

My dad left his auto in reverse and yep you know what happen he didnt put the hand break on and it shot back into my car and put a hench dent in my passenger door... I retalliated and kicked his Merc so hard the bumper cracked 

We called it quits

Now  this is probably just a car dealer thing, but has anyone else ever parked a car facing a wall, bout a foot away an left in in gear? this is one of my favorite things to do to trainees, cus u know they aint gunna check if its in gear!

[ChrisO GolfO]

  Pretty funny, I put mine in gear when on a slope incase the handbreak fails, and when starting a car I always depress the clutch

[Dinky]

aye...i dont understand people who leave their cars in gear like..fair does on a steep hill o summit..
but if ur drivin sumone else car, you should leave it like you got it, therefore if it wasn in gear wen u got in..dont leave the fcuker in gear wen u get out!
*please note this paul!!

To be honest i dont undertand people who dont check if the car is in neutral before startin. I tend to always leave the car in gear when i park up just seems natural to me to check it's not in gear before you turn the key !

I got a nice big dent in nearside front door! Reversing into my garage, I forgot that my mates compressor was the other way round and sticking out a bit! :embarassed:

Got a quote yesterday to repair that and the rear and the bonnet - £600
Not bad considering it will be just over half the car!
