Picture this, Im sitting in the passenger seat of my girlfriends car when she reverses and clips the back of my bike with her left hand wing mirror, with me staring in amazement at what had just happened. Her wing mirror went one way and my bike shuddered at the fact it had just been whacked.

At this point I didn't know what damage she had done due to the fact the bike had its cover on at the time.

I got out of the car (biting my tongue at this point I might add) and lifted the cover to see waht the stupid bitch had done (calm down)!! Evil or Very Mad

When lifting the cover shards of red plastic started to rain down at my feet! My immediate thought was the the rear light cover, but alas it was only the stick on reflector.

After all this does anyone know where to get one online.

This is the kind of thing I'm after, but I need it 60x40mm!

I was gonna claim on my girlfriends insurance just to annoy her, but she has already made 2 claims in the space of week earlier this year at £300 excess each time. To top things off a delivery driver that came round our way and backed into her car and dented the drivers side wing. Just got out of the shower when it happened so couldn't chase after them or get the reg!!

You were gonna claim for a broken relfector? If they didn't laugh at you and hang up, you'd only be responsible for the constant increase in premiums. I hate ppl who claim for a broken nail Evil or Very Mad

If someone hit my car and drove off i'd chase them bare-ass down the street and use the 'bollock-naked rage'!!

Now that would really get the safety brigade going, 'if you think the guy in tarckies and a Tshirt was bad....... heres an angry naked guy without a helmet (on his head)'

excellent!

If it was your bird who just got out of the shower then you could have sent her out naked, if I was driving the van Im sure I'd stop at the sight of a naked woman!

It's funny how over there ye can joke about claiming for minor things whereas in ireland we wouldn't dare make a claim as the money we get for the claim only ends up bein spent on the next years premium which has doubled Evil or Very Mad

If you're going to claim just to piss her off, then I'd suggest that your relationship must be very good if you expect it to continue very long like that surely?

I was only joking about making the claim, that just wouldn't be very nice now would it. Although the part did cost more than expected! £10.55 + vat + £2.50 p&p. Apparently you can't just buy the reflector you have to get the whole unit which covers the light for the number plate.

More info on the van driver! We sent a letter out to the surrounding neighbours. Although no one else saw the accident we did receive the name of the company that made the delivery. My girlfriend rang them up earlier today and managed to speak to the boss. They exchanged insurance details over the phone even though the driver hadn't mentioned anything to him. As far as we know all is going smoothly, but there isn't an independant witness only me, so not sure how it will work out yet!

Oh and to set the record straight, it was a woman van driver! Very Happy

How do you know, if you were the only witness and yesterday you didn't know, yet the company doesn't know which van/driver it was. Eh?

Basically the woman across the road has a regular delivery of organic food from this company and its always a woman driver, thats why the boss knew. Also a bloke a neighbour confirmed it was a woman as he had to direct the delivery driver round to the back of this womans house to drop off these veges as she wasn't in.

I hope that makes sense?

She said she was going through a gap and didnt realise it was too small, by the time she realised she just screwed her eyes shut and carried on - SCRAPE !!!!!!

Then kept going lol.

She said - oh I hate my new car, its too big and I cant judge gaps

Shocked

She said its pea green (Kwack green), please someone - have a word eh!!

Agreed, although according to the majority on here, anyone who drives anything other than a bike is a danger to the roads. I try to avoid stereotyping unless it's a valid generalisation, such as the majority of pensioners behind the wheel being a serious problem.

Thumbs Up

Everyone has the ability to be a complete muppet behind the wheel at the end of the day. Some of the things I see my fellow woman driver do really can make me cringe, but then I get to shake my head at male stupidity too.....So it's not so bad! Mr. Green

Just remember, it's the person, not the gender that makes a good/bad driver! Thumbs Up

No, that is because on average women do a far smaller number of miles a year. Women on average have more accidents per mile.

The lower insurance premium is just the insurance industry being very lazy and failing to keep track of what is really important.

All the best
