Thread Name: BS: Hitting an animal with your car
Subject: RE: BS: Hitting an animal with your car
Returing home one dark evening a badger ambled (as only a badger can) along the side of the road next to our car. We were not travelling fast as it was one of the narrow lanes around the village where we live. For some unknown reason the badger decided to do a right and trotted straight into the car. There was a loud bang, my husband braked and the badger tumbled down the lane in front of us, he got to his paws trotted across the lane and into a field on the other side of the road.
My husband was gutted, he loves badgers and it was all I could do to stop him going after the damn thing. We was really up set and worried to that the thing would die a slow, lingering death.



Well that was until he saw the damage to the front spoiler and number plate of his brand new car. £500 worth of damage, and an insurance assessor who didnt believe a word of it.
