OMG someone dial 911 was in a RTA last night
yup, almost managed a incident free trip however.....
last night on way home from work, on my way to the bike shop to buy some more hideous accessories i stopped at a red light..
and a truck smashed into the back of me
and i smashed into the car in front of me
and he smashed into the car in front of him
Avis kindly informed me i am not insured.....(que 30 mins of frantic calls and expletives galore at poor avis woman...
hmmm there may be trouble ahead..
Ps the person in front as soon as the police came started feigning back spasms etc...totally theatrical but cant blame her i suppose
Today i have a cut arm, bruised knee and my neck is really hurting..
and my car is ****ed...
deep joy....
anyway ive always wanted to 'dial 911', yesterday i had the chance...twice

The correct term is an RTC - Road Traffic Collision.

Re: OMG someone dial 911 was in a RTA last night
I then made a call to my friend (a US lawyer) who called back and informed me that unless you produced at the time of hiring a copy of your own insurance certificate then they MUST insure you
I obviously never produced the above at the time of hiring...
eventually they spoke to the old bill, or Hank and said that i need to produce some third party indemnity certificate..
All this is going on whilst the woman in the car in front is now rolling on the ground having a pretend seizure
its not too much of a problem as the truck driver has admitted liability to the fuzz..maybe i should go to A&E....where there is blame, there is a claim
