Lovely start to a Monday morning! get up early to go into work early and get ahead of my work only to get bumped on the motorway
Thankfully the damage is nothing, I hope only had a quick look but I cant see any dents!
Was coming along the motorway just at my cut off, it's 5 lanes, 3 outside are the motorway and the 2 inside lanes are for cutting of. the cut off lanes go for around a mile and just near the end there is another entry slip. I was in the in the inside lane and a black insignia was in the outside lane of the cut of lane just ahead of me. A car came on at the slip road and cut out into his lane and was trying to merge onto the motorway. With it being rush hour he had to brake and slow down to get on. He was now doing about 30ish in a 50 zone. I am coming up the inside quite the thing, not a soul in my lane, just as I am about level with the insignia I just clocked his wheels turning in! Panic I swung my car wide but not enough to avoid me and the dreaded shunt at the back. Luckily there is a small lay by just 20 yards infront of where it happened. As you can imagine I got out and went absolute balistic! the guy thought if he shouted louder then it would have made the situation my fault. I thought this guy was going to try and con me so I phoned the police straight away and they sent a car out. In the 20 mins! it took for the Police car to come both of us had calmed down.
Looking at my car, it was just a scrape and tbh his was slightly worse as the front bumper had slightly clipped out. I would rather just sort it myself than claim his insurance as even with a non fault claim it can push your premium up. Police arrived and we just said it was sorted and he helped merge us back onto the motorway and off to start a working day!!
The moral of the story is stayin your bed!!!
