OK so we live on a cul de sac and our top of the T part of the cul de sac has no street lighting or road marks...we live at the end of the T top... it's basically made up of our drives and an asphalt road leading to them.
This morning someone parked opposite my neighbours drive on the grass verge. Neighbour reversed out and suddenly found herself backing in to the cars rear door, buckling it in.
She went house to house to the 8 houses on the cul de sac and no one knew who the car belonged to.
Then some 6 hours later the owner turned up, read the note the neighbour left and started to shout about the fact she works seven days a week and needs a car and that the neighbour will need to cough up for a courtesy car for the duration of the repair.... apart from the fact that she wasn't working today (so 7 days a week?) and that it surely wouldn't take a week to replace a car door .... will insurance even be invloved with an accident on private land where the owner was parked opposite a drive without permission?
It DOES NOT say private road anywhere... but I gathered from the lack of road markings and ligts it was... also the neighbours said something about it saying so on the deeds... haven't seen them as we rent.
The driver says she was 'visiting her father'.... well we know all the families down this 8 house CDS and she isn't the daughter of any of them... or any of the people we know down the joining road as far as we know.... and besides.. if she WAS related to someone on the joining road then they all have ample parking as the whole 34 house estate is a dead end so not a through road or a known parking area.
We suspect she was across the road at the carvery having an extended breakfast and fancied our parking to their paid for....
Am asking as the young lady next door is in bits about this and worried about her 'no claims'
