Driving along today and suddenly out of the blue the car in front decides to stop, select reverse and accelerate towards me, yes you guessed it, full frontal impact!
The driver and passenger, or should I say Hoody and Baseball Cap, exit the car and run, I give chase but am no match for a pair of skinny sixteen year olds.
I return to the car and all becomes clear, the actions of this Scrote happened because just ahead of them in a layby was a Police Volvo, they had stolen the car, panicked and I got the short end of the wedge.
The Police were very helpful and calming, they interviewed me and three roadside witnesses while another squad car went in search of the Scrotes, it later returned with the passenger who sat in the back of the car, cuffed and laughing at me! He cannot be touched as he was only a passenger, he did not steal the car, or drive with no insurance or license, arrrrggghhhh!!!!! He refused to grass his mate, obviously.
Got home, phoned the insurance, the car is booked in for repair, however, it is going to cost me £425 excess and lose my No Claims Bonus, how the hell does this work, I'm the innocent party here, but the other car was SORN, stolen from someones drive, uninsured, and they can't find the thieving driver, so it all falls on my shoulders. I called the MIB and even if I was successful in securing an award from them the first £300 they withold, so I'd only get £125.
This country winds me up, what is going on?!?

Don't misconstrue that as me laughing at the situation BTW. Why on earth would idiots like that select reverse and smash into you, let alone steal the thing in the first place. I hope they catch them and feel the full force of the law. That one laughing at you, typical of them these days, they know they can't be touched as much as you, and for him to feel safe enough to be laughing, makes my blood boil. Good for nothing little bit of excrement.
