#16: Re: Gutted Author: Jack4273, Location: NottinghamPosted: Fri Oct 01, 2010 3:21 am ---- I did the same thing almost, i was on my way to see stuart on here to get a new exhaust and was coming round a big long bend and there was.. no joke.. a crateor on the bend. Triggered the 'inearsha'(sorry cant spell it) swich, middle of no-where with no-where to walk to. Had to join the AA which cost me about £150 quid for the bloke to just press a button... I was beyond p**sed off.. got a picture of it but never got round to making a claim.. Grrrr!
#17: Re: Gutted Author: sillyhilly, Location: The Mean Streets of CoventryPosted: Fri Oct 01, 2010 3:24 am ---- I won my claim against the council.
In fact, I received a HELL of a lot more than I originally anticipated.
If you're prepared to do your research and take your time (council will not be in a rush to pay you out) then you'll get a pay out.
