There wasnt even any stone chips on my bumper that needed reparing :evil: I am impressed with my insurer though...they are letting me use an OPC for the repairs and as I live 1 mile from the Hatfield OPC, thats removes some of the grief.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

i bumped the car on my way home last night :x classical incident. driver in front sets off at a roundabout...so do I, I look right, he stops...I don't There goes my £500 excess to replace the front bumper.....money which I was about to spend upgrading my stereo

POST 2Original post

That's crappy luck Triff. Nearly been there myself on several occations in that same situation. Hope you get things sorted with minimum hassle.

POST 3Original post

OOps We've all done it I suspect - my only fault claim in 25 years was exactly that... Do you think it was deliberate on the other persons part? It is a really well known scam at the moment... I saw a TV program recently where the police actually set a camera up on one roundabout as they were getting several insurance claims PER DAY from this type of incident! As well as getting any existing damage fixed, the car gets a full valet (and probably a couple of other unrelated things fixed), and they get a few £000 compensation for the 'whiplash' that they allegedly suffer... :frustrated:

POST 4Original post

Oh gosh - sorry to hear that...but why did he stop? I was involved in the same thing as well at a roundabout near Heathrow. I stalled the car after pulling away and someone behind me lightly tapped my rear bumper as they were looking right. No damage done to the rear bumper on my Golf but it was a bit of a fright. Hope you get it sorted mate. ~ Maxie

POST 5Original post

Sorry to hear about this - I've been there too but touch wood have not yet hit the person in front. It really is quite scary how easy it is to do this at roundabouts when people have loads of space to pull out and begin to, but end up stupidly hesitating and stopping again!! When I am driving now I seem to getting more and more cautious about what other drivers are doing all the time as there are so many rubbish ones out there!

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

the guy (non english speaking eastern european) stopped for no reason and with no other car on the roundabout I am not sure what he was thinking. I know it is my fault and unusually for me I am calm about it all...just pi55ed off with the £500 excess. There wasnt even any stone chips on my bumper that needed reparing :evil: I am impressed with my insurer though...they are letting me use an OPC for the repairs and as I live 1 mile from the Hatfield OPC, thats removes some of the grief.

POST 9Original post

D'oh yes that £500 hurts lots I know! Sorry to hear about that matey! Hey ho etc etc etc .. and all that stuff!! I think it is a dead easy one to do... I'm really wary of it after .. well a long boring story I'll spare you all! lol We all do it though! You see the car in front begin to move off. Check that the roundabout is clear and go for it! Then for some inexplainable reason the ummm person in front has stopped! ahhhhhhhhhh.............

Take solice from the fact that you didn't lose your excess by backing into your daughters ballet school building in front of a bunch of sniggering ballet mothers

POST 11Original post

Sorry to hear it. I've done it, twice. Apparently it is the most common motor accident. Bummer but don't get too hung up on it.
