Na no dash cam :(will be buying one for sure. Mr n Mrs plod came to see me said only a minor bump
but the silly moo is saying she and her passenger have sore necks :rolleyes: My insurance are saying she's
responsible as she stopped for wildlife, should only stop for cattle sheep,goats & dogs.
Cats n birds foxes badgers polecats tigers or hippos dont count, she didnt look in her mirror or indicate when changing lanes so she's at fault, tis up the the insurance company's to fight it out.

If the cow is screaming for a soft tissue injury, i.e. whiplash you may be lucky as i think claims for these have been clamped down on recently.
Also If she stopped suddenly for no good reason then the injury was rather self-inflicted. Maybe your insurance company will tell her passenger to claim off the female driver's policy!
Divide and rule!
Spose a doc will have to write an affidavit to say yay or nay. Then she'll need to be examined by another one to say the opposite! Like engineers examining accident damage!
Nest of vipers. Stupid. Especially as. if she had stayed where she was, nothing would have happened. :(:(:mad::mad:

Excuse me for intruding, but this you may find "funny". :rolleyes:
Back in 1986 I was living in Sunnyvale California (silicon valley).
I was young, foolish and living a wonderful life as a highly paid "foreign assignee" for IBM.
One night (after a good session at the bar near work) I stopped off on my way home and bought some much needed supplies Ice-cream for "her-indoors".
30 seconds from home at a 4-way stop a cyclist went across my path hit the nearside (LH) wing and went over the bonnet and landed in a heap in the road.
"Fcuk-Me" I thought, "I'm a dead man, this kid on a bike has a father and he will hunt me down and shoot me dead".
I told the cyclist to lie still, and ran to a house on the corner and asked them to call 911 as there had been an accident.
Further to my dismay the Paramedic responders arrived on the Fire-truck which sounded its Oooo-gahhh horn all the sodding way to ensure everyone came out of their homes to witness the limey that tried to kill a kid get his come-uppance.
Police too. God I was scared. I could see myself getting sent home to the UK (AFTER a long prison sentence). and having my earning garnisheed for the rest of my life. :eek::eek::eek:
The policeman asked me to sit in my car and wait while he gathered evidence and statements and would get to me in a minute.
As lady luck would actually have it. I had obeyed all the traffic rules and done the "bow- & Curtsey" at the 4-way stop and another driver coming from another direction (who was to give way to me and was waiting) witnessed everything and told the police I was not at fault. Both of us had arrived at the 4-way long before the cyclist and I had right of way over him but the cyclist arriving later had not even paused in her ptogress.
The cyclist turned out to be a 21 YO female dressed all in black on an "un-licensed" bicycle (they have to be licensed to be used on the road) with no lights (which I why I did not see her) and she just barreled through the 4-way without stopping or doing what she should have done.
The policeman said, you are free to go sir, you are clearly not at fault here. The cyclist will be charged with an offence.
But! My insurance company paid her out a token sum of a few $K in "Full & final Settlement" and my insurance premium was unaffected.
I have never been so $hit-scared in all my life.:oops:
I got home and the wife wanted to know: a) Why I was so late, and b) Why was I so pale looking.
Anyways, sorry to intrude.

Interesting!
Don't understand why, if she was charged with an offence your insurance company had to shell out.
Funny country Merka!

Me neither! My comments to the insurance rep exactly.
I suspect it was because I was a visiting foreign national who subsequently could not be brought to court on a technicality for any future medical claim. So paying a "full & final" was their way of closing it off for sure and for good contractually.

Evening all. :)

Spent some of the day providing site security at a live WW1 Naval Shell which was found in some old geezars shed after he passed away. For some reason the UK Bomb Disposal chaps have to wade through a load of Covid related paperwork before being allowed on to me Island. :rolleyes:

It did turn out to be a nice day and I managed to get a load of washing out on the line before the call-out. Pennies saved ;)

Haha lucky man ;) No need to be sorry your more than welcome to comment constructive
or not, good story though did the ice cream melt o_O:D
 
Went to Screwfix to pick up 40 sheets of abrasive paper as my stock is ....... non-existent nearly.
Sanded down the bit of "making good" work to give it a key for the next layer of "finishing plaster" which was dryish in the tub. So I put an amount in a big plastic jug and added some water, then rapidly realised i had too much watter in, so bunged in some more plaster, then some more, eventually got a mix that I could work with.
Frigged around with it and discovered it was drying fast as feck, :mad::mad::mad:.
Stuck to the tools so fast they could not be used to smooth it off unless I kept taking them back to water and scrubbing them off! Must be old or summat. Or maybe I just shouldn't have added water.
(God I hate plastering type work.)
So now it is on the wall and waiting my attention next time I feel like sanding it back. Just hoping I don't have to do it again.
I'll be taking Sunday off!;););)
