A woman driver reversed into my MGF a couple of years ago while it was parked, luckily I was watching out of my window. She said she didn't see it!! I know the MGF is small but a pushchair is smaller, what if ?? Cost her though, courtesy MX5 for 2 weeks and a £2k repair bill. Plus I'd dented part of it a week earlier with my wheelie-bin, got that done in the process, RESULT :y :y

a couple of years ago i had a vauxhall carlton parked outside my house and a TNT lorry dented the back quarter panel. Insurance paid put 1120 which put a smile on my face as i had only paid a 100 for it as a fill in car for a month. ;D

It's not you Jimbo B, some people just don't care. It's been going on a long time but I'm sure it's getting worse as more drivers get their license.

A few years ago I pulled into a smallish car park, about 50 spaces, there were only about 10 cars there and most were parked near the entrance, so as is my custom I parked at the far end where it was clear, just about to get out of the car when a woman drove in, with a large elderly woman in the back, she parked in the space next to me about 18ins from my car, with the lady in the back at my side. I said to my son, watch this, she's going to try and get out this side, she did, and obviously hit my car making a dent in the door!

When I talked to the driver about it she just said in a very nasty tone " it's not hurt it" and walked off.
