This is a question Lucky Escapes

Freddie Woo says: Looking back on it, the moment when we left the road because I was trying to get the demister to work, regaining control just in time to miss a tree probably wasn't my finest bit of driving, nor my cleanest pair of pants. Tell us about your lucky escapes

"he was amazed anyone walked out of that alive"?
Surely sarcasm? That's a pretty lame-looking prang.

In fact, this whole story seems very defensive about injuries, financial outlay etc.

Anyway, I hope you get the payout you're clearly hankering for.

"a lame-looking prang"?
The car & its safety features did exactly what they we supposed to do. And because of that my wife is the walking, talking goddess of beauty that she is today.
I'll be honest - to me, having heard a seasoned insurance assessor tell me my wife was lucky to walk away (his words, not mine), the fact that the car did what it was supposed to do in a crash means far more to me than any detraction about how the wreck may "look".

The payout was only mentioned very recently and and I quite clearly stated in my post "None of which we have asked for or expected.".
Maybe you should read my response to AB above. Again.

The stuff in italics is updated from the original post - hence the UPDATE: and italics. JSYK.

Definitely not being defensive.

No not at all.
Or you could read the original post which is linked at the start of this post and of course read the updates as being put in after that.

Or I'm just a money-grubber struggling to eke a few dollars out of the local government's coffers by trying to capitalise on the fact that my wife was involved in an accident.
Does any of you know a good local lawyer to me that specialises in Accident Claims?

I wish I could call you a tool and make you look like a dickhead.
You're doing a pretty good job on your own.

I'll be honest, this is the first story of yours I've read from start to finish and kind of understood.
But there's no way I'm reading it again.

I had worse damage than that when I hit an owl.
I realise he's a whiny posh boy immigrant but I thought strines were made of sterner stuff.

I doubt the owl saw it that way.
I wondered when you you were going to make an appearance.

No editing posts to make you look less like a dickhead now.
Otherwise you might end up looking like a dickhead.
