    Bad day

    Had me car stacked this morning. Had to do an emergency stop on a dual carriageway as some arsewipe farmer pulled across my lane. I stopped. Poor sod behind me in the shogun, not fully able to react in time, or not paying attention piled the the back of me at 70 mph.

    Both of us walked. A scratch on the shogun, fiesta totalled.

    Now after 5 years loyal money to swiftcover for both our wagons, both fully comp with courtesy car cover, I get no courtesy car. Until the loss adjuster can visit which can't happen until Thursday.

    AVOID THESE CANTS LIKE THE PLAGUE.

    Suity household glad to have suity back in one lump, albeit concussed.
    Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

      Phone them again. Its an awfully common trick for swiftcover to announce that you can't have a courtesy car until you quote exactly what you cover includes.

      Either way glad you're ok and next time pick a decent insurance company.

          Dude any one you walk away from is a good un!

          Surprised about Swiftcover, they couldn't do more to help when my car was off the road

            Oh poor youse

            I've just signed up with Swiftcover - they saved me £500. Lets hope I don't need to claim
            I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

              Don't worry about the car, or the replacement. Life's too short for getting stressed about sh1t like that. When you do get the courtesy car, drive it like you nicked it.

              Really glad you're OK.

                Sounds like a 'good day' in disguise to me. I'm glad everyone walked away unhurt.

                  Have rung many many times, even quoting the bit where it says they will provide me a courtesy car. Same tulip, different retard.

                  Thanks. They have already refused to pay any bill I send them. Got to use the wife's car, and she is busted down to shank's.

                  Thanks for all the wellwishes. Nice you all got in before the trolls.

                    Phew, close one. Lottery ticket time while your luck's in methinks.

                    Saved by the crumple zones no doubt. Can you sue for whiplash like they do on American TV?

                    Also, whose sockie do you think cut you up?
