I suppose it was my fault
but I bumped in to some idiot woman (well, her car) who was sat outside her house, in the middle of the street, yapping to her neighbour. It was dark, fairly late, and I assumed she was waiting at the lights which were about two car lengths in front of her and were red. I slowed down, but the lights changed to green so I didn't stop as I assumed she'd pull away. She didn't. I went in to the back of her at about 10 miles an hour.
The scrounging hussy sued me for £5k. I think she got £1.5k in the end, fortunately the insurance covered it. I got sent her doctors report to pass on to my insurers - she'd made up all kinds of bollocks, she wanted compensation for having put weight on because her neck hurt too badly to take the dog out for a walk, and she couldn't sit for long enough in the car to go and see a concert in London she'd bought tickets to.
/still bitter.
