Don't get crashed into by the NHS is my take away from my dad. Ambulance hit him whilst he was stopped, waiting for it to pass as it was on a blue light run. Only wing mirror to wing mirror. But both vehicles needed new wing mirrors. Ambulance had 360 dash cams but they're taking it to court. Pretty normal with the NHS according to insurer, they said it would likely go to court from the initial phone call!
Also a replacement black plastic wing mirror on an ambulance (Fiat van) is apparently £12,000. Whoever looks after the NHS fleet must be a billionaire :lol:
How about not having a sig at all?

I have a vivid memory of being involved in an accident and being picked up within 45 minutes while the other party still being on hold to Admiral as I left…

Reputation? I thought so but maybe you know otherwise 😄

Just got my bike insurance through, and even with a change of bike next week the premium is down by £105 to £201 a year. :lol:
You settle up, I'll go get the Jag.
