escortjas Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Had a bit of a ding a week or so ago in the Hyundai.Went round a wet bend doing about 40-45mph and the back end came round. In trying to gather it up the front went up a curb and hit a lapmpost.I was fine apart from some aches and bruises. Cars being fixed on the insurance. Norwich Union now hate me. If you look at the steering wheel in the first pic you can see how much the tracking was out. http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/9185.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/9184.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

escortjas Posted February 1, 2008 Author Share Posted February 1, 2008 Thanks for putting the pics up.Also the council are going after my insurance for a new lampost, as the light cover fell out and it moved about 10degrees when i hit it because the ground was so wet. My insurance is going to be one hell of a large bill come march... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

escortjas Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 The lampost was leaning 10 degrees. So when the highway bloke turned up he said it would need to be repalced. Spose it wasnt too bad in retrospect, just didnt seem or feel like it at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meekstaaa Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 i'm not putting a damper on your story here and i don't know the road but just because the road is 60mph doesn't mean you can safely go around the corner that fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
