As some of you already know, Ems and i were enjoying a nice evening out in the countryside when some drunken **** crashed into the side of our car
He was driving on the wrong side of the road, nearly smashed a cyclist off before what we thought was going to be a head on, until the last seconds when he turned, only because i beeped my horn. He hit the mirror first, followed by scraping down the side of the car. The alloy, arch piece and side of the bumper are wrecked and need some sorting out. Also the panel above the wheel is scraped all the way along.
Absolutly furious it happened, at the time i felt so angry/upset and concerned for Emma. I was unsure whether or not to call the police so i did anyway (any fit driver wouldnt be on the wrong side of the road like that) so they eventually came out. Whilst we were waiting for them to arrive, the guy was saying he had to get to work, then he said he had to get to france!?, and also said he wasnt going to hang around. I wasnt being polite as you may have gathered so he wasnt going anywhere until the police had dealt with him.
When they finally arrived, he was breathalysed and arrested. Im waiting for a call from the police to give me insurance details and stuff like that. Ems took down his reg etc at the time, but we thought it was best getting the police involved anyway.
Whats more annoying than that is at the time, my singapore's finest central locking decided to lock us out of our car for over an hour, so we had to wait at the top of the south downs, freezing our bits off waiting for my step dad to arrive with the spare key - We also left the engine running so it was using up fuel etc, anyway, the least of my worries.
I just hope he's insured and the car can be looking as good as new asap.
