Turned to soon and crashed into a bollard. I’m never going to live this down.

In the way home from in laws and though I would nip in shops only turned the car to soon and crash into a bollard. Had to ring dh to come and rescue me. When he got to me he was wetting himself laughing, always on about me being a crap driver. I’m never going to live this down.

Meh. It’s a rite of passage crashing into a bollard.

Hope you’re okay though

Yeah we’re ok I turned the wheel so we were actually stuck in the air and dh had to use his car to pull us off. But I think I has actually done less damage to the car because of this. God I feel like a twit

Style it out hun. Be right

Rite of passage? I've never crashed into a bollard and neither has anyone I know

A bollard, that's nowt! At least they are generally small and can be hard to see.

A friend of ours once crashed into a tree. A massive horse chestnut that had been there many years, on a road they parked on maybe 3 or 4 days a week and multiple times each day. Now that was funny. (But I didn't laugh until they'd left the room and were definitely not in earshot.)

deathymcdeathstarface no suppose it’s not as bad as that dd Squealed So think I had a temporary lapse in concentration

I’m more worried that your H continually puts you down:

Try not to be too upset. Accidents are called that for a reason. As long as you’re all unharmed.

@fairenuff bet you go to all the best parties

What is that supposed to mean. People who crash are not competent drivers and they are a risk to other drivers and pedestrians. If you think that has a link to what parties you go to you are a fool.

I did this in a monster truck!! We had just had new wheels put on which were much larger and changed the turning circle on the vehicle. Loud music playing out speakers, promo team hanging out windows.... people staring..... large crunch as I hit the bollard and cause £2k worth of damage. It was horrendous! So essentially, don’t feel too bad, it could have been worse?!

Utter shite. Let’s hope when (yes when) you have a minor accident that fall from the moral high ground doesn’t hurt too much...

I'm imaging you saying that like Mr T. Sensible Mr T.

jacqueshammer he doesn’t constantly put me down just doesn’t think driving is one of my better skills put it that way. I’m glad he was laughing though than being annoyed.

Don't be stupid Holly. Yes, accidents happen but crashing into a bollard for no reason is driving without due care and attention.

Cheers fairenuff

What do you expect. Did you come here for a pat on the back. What if it had been a person rather than a bollard?

I think you'll find it wasn't your fault as you were distracted by a rogue cat appearing and have to serve suddenly

Yeah great. That's funny. Hit something with my car. Lols

fairenuff no I didn’t want a pat on the back but equally I didn’t want someone on their high horse either

So what did you want? Why are you here boasting about putting lives in danger?

I got a brand new car last week and reversed into a bollard- £400 down the drain!!

How am I boasting ? And I didn’t put anyone’s life in danger

You were not in control of your car. You hit something that you didn't mean to hit. It could have been a person. Why do you feel the need to post about it here if you don't think it's funny/boasting?

amelliarose oh no! Just back from mat leave this month so don’t think will be getting any work done on it. Luckily it’s just scratches
