Second day back from our trip to France and all the nice chilled out feelings got knocked out of me this evening. On the way home I stopped at Waitrose to get some dinner things and was driving in the car park when the car in front stopped, I too stopped about 8′ behind this car, a 2006 525 BMW. I then saw the reversing lights illuminate ……… please, no! My thoughts weren’t enough to prevent it starting to reverse so I blew my horn long and hard, it was still sounding as the BMW hit me with a pretty firm thud. Of course I got out and had to answer the stupid question “Is you car damaged?”. “Yes, the concave front is not a standard feature of the Land Rover Discovery”! I also asked a question “Didn’t you hear me blowing my horn. I see you you’ve got reversing sensors didn’t they alert you?” To which there was a perfectly rational answer “My daughter was playing the music so loud I didn’t hear anything”. I’m now wondering how much her story will vary from the truth when it comes to her insurance company. Will it become “I was stationary and this Land Rover Discovery rammed me from behind? By the time I’d looked at my vehicle and started the conversation with the other driver anyone who’d seen it happen had disappeared.
