Car hit by drunk driver!

Whilst parked at the side of the road last night my car was hit by a drunk driver. He collided with the back and pushed it into the car in front. Fortunately I wasn't in the car at the time but I am gutted! Police arrested him and got all his details so fingers crossed it should be a straight forward claim.

F¥*#ing hell, it looks really bad, I feel pain for you, hope you'll be able to sort out the mess.

Really gutted for you mate :-(

Shit like this really boils my piss

What a mess. Should be a prison sentence for sure but nothing will happen but a slap on the wrist.

I assume his insurance (if he has any) will sort out your car and his will be void. What car was he in?

Just had one on the Z4 forum where he has been hit by an uninsured Lithuanian. Got to love the Uk.

Gutted for you mate. Hope everything works out for getting it repaired or replaced.

Seen a drunk driver crash into a centre island fence and veer off the rd accross the pavement taking out a junction box on his way the other week. There was a bus stop with kids at the other side of the rd. These idiots don't care if they take a life. He was a young guy and his family showed up at the scene and his dad assaulted him as he was getting out the ambulance

Is the car likely to be a write off? I know I was once given the option on another car I had where they said they couldn't get bumper clips so we're prepared to make me an offer to write it off and I was able to say no, just do your best. Ended up a good job.

Good luck

I got the police report through. He is insured and he blew over the legal limit. He's being interviewed this morning.

That looks like game over for the car unfortunately. Atleast they got him and no one was hurt

Thats a nightmare mate, feel sorry for you

He should face the Supra firing squad, let him stand in the middle of a circled Supras with full throttle, blast him with the exhaust fumes, add a few flame throwers with the circle

Jesus.. I was expecting a dent or a scratch while the thread was opening

Yer im sure this is a straighy forward claim.

Is the car writen off?

Some rotten luck seems to be running through this forum recently. That or people are just getting more and more incompetent

Ohh god don't know what a would do that's ridiculous your pride joy ruined for some arsehole want to drink drive should be jailed

not sure I'd want it repaired looking at the damage

hope it gets sorted quickly

I am so gutted. Police have given me a statement and in it it says his insurance company and policy number, and that he is entirely to blame. Hopefully it'll get sorted quickly.

Surely being tied to the back and being dragged for a 1/4 mile would be better.

No deterrent for people these days. For me if you get caught over the limit it should be a week in jail at least (more if well over), car confiscated and sold to fund victims and licence gone for 5 years.

If thats a tt I would get the engine pulled out and say you was half way through a rebuild , sorry for your loss mate and head ache with insurance to come over price

Shit, that looks bad mate.

Hopefully gets sorted one way or another.

Really gutted to see this, hopefully his insurance company will treat you very nicely!

I'd assume with that amount of damage its off to the great scrap heap in the sky.

If it is a right off I'll buy it back off the insurance company.

Good job you not hurt but sadly with damage like that I think its game over :( hope things go smoothly for you and maybe you can buy it back cheep for a new build

If it is a right off I'll buy it back off the insurance company.

You don't always get that option under Comprehensive insurance.

I'd be so gutted if that was me.

Definitely think that'll be a write off as far as insurance are concerned. I'd be fuming, feel for you

Gutted for you mate and hate seeing things like this happen! As already said the poor supra isn't looking good and wouldn't be surprised if it's a write off but hoping not and you can get it sorted and back on the road.
