And even better to not care unless it's "my problem".
live & learn....

I've stuck my neck out a few times to get 'involved' & came off worse, so now I mind my own business.

But you know what - do what you feel is necessary

Understand that. One of the sad things about human life especially as we get older - cynicism.

And would it be everyone looks out only for themself..

But fair enough: each to their own 'tis true.

Bumpers and fenders are 2 different things.... fenders are "wings" to you. On boats I believe they mean the same thing, but not on cars.

Yes, but there's no need to get a bee in your hood about it or someone might put the trunk in.

Thread drift alert: before you were Tinpusher or SteveP you had a different, rather pessimistic, handle which reflected, I always imagined, your state of health back then.

That was 10 years ago mate and I wish you another 10 (at least) of good health.

I'll be signing off in a few days (for a while) so I didn't want to forget to say that.

Ah yes "Hangman"...I was surprised by the number of people who found that handle offensive.

I always thought it appropriate, if you know me you'll know why.

Healthwise things are a bit iffy. But the doc says that my condition is at present "life altering" not "life threatening". So that's good in a way.

Celt a fender is the wing and a bumper is a bumper.

You haven't said if there was any damage to the cars. If not then there is no problem. If there is give the licence plate details to the owners of the damaged cars. There's no need to get holier than thou about it all.

Ah, I see I was late to the party on this one. Must read all the posts, must read all the posts....

I wrote down the car plate. Will see if the back car is damaged before I call police otherwise it would be redundant.

Never seen such idiocy (thank God) - these are people over 30. Idiots.
this was nearly a week ago, so do tell us what happened after you did all that.

Did you leave your details under the wiper blade on the damaged vehicle, did you contact the police, did you stick around till it was all sorted?
