Feeling guilty
« on: July 11, 2014, 08:55:03 pm »
Honest opinions please guys!

Whilst driving to a job today I hit someone's parked van with my wing mirror! It made a right loud bang , but luckily just bent my wing mirror in but the glass panel fell out, I'm guessing I must of caught there wing mirror,
Anyway as I was in shock I just carried on driving to next job.
Anyway feel guilty incase I've done damage to there wing mirror, would there's of probably just folded backwards as mine took the brunt of the force.
It was a transit pick up what I clipped!
What would you have done?
Would you of stopped?

Yeah I would have stopped.

Wing mirrors are also designed to be folded the wrong way, but usually what happens is the piece of glass pops out too and gets cracked. Usually costs about £50 to replace the glass depending on which model.

Basically your going to the bad fire and there's no going back now. Shame on you.

If it was the same model as mine, I would have gone back and taken his glass as replacement.

Transit pick up?

Probably a pikey. Don't worry about it.

Good grief, is English your first language?   ;)

I thought you were a selfish numpty at first, but as you felt guilty, maybe not. Do you think they had parked outside their house? If so, go there tomorrow and sheepishly offer to pay if there's any damage.

You will feel very good about yourself. :)

It happened to me a few years ago.  I drove passed a parked transit with a trailer. I clipped his mirror with my Relays mirror. There was a loud bang. My mirror was hanging off. You have about 5 seconds to decide whether to stop or not. I didn`t.  I hoped nobody was in the van.  I flew on up the road as quick as I could. Next thing I saw the transit behind flashing its lights. I had to stop and apologise. Cost me a new mirror. If it happened again I would stop.

You were in shock? What from the tinkle of broken mirror?

+1 if you damaged someone's property why shouldn't you pay to repair it?

About 15 years ago , one frosty morning, I set off to go and clean some windows. Running late, I never cleared the windscreen properly (I see the irony there), frosty windscreen + low sun = can't see where you are going. I managed to clip the mirror or a parked Astra, being about 5:30 - 6:00 there was no one about so I could have drove on. Instead I wrote my details on a scrap of paper and left it under the window wiper.

I ended up fixing the mirror myself and got speaking to the owner, Barrie. He is now one of my best friends.

And we all lived happily ever after.

Moral of the story is - try not to be a c word.

Ive never believed in all that you do something it comes back on you nonsense
Good and bad things happen thats just a fact.

You should stop though and pay if any damage,thats just decent behaviour
karma has feck all to do with it though.

it's a criminal offence to do a hit and run and not leave your insurance details. Have no pity for people like you who push up insurance premiums :(
