Anyway there I was in my flat Friday afternoon at approximately
4.30,when I heard a crash,i didn't take a lot of notice,but out of curiosity
I looked out of my balcony window.my car was at an angle ,now I know
When I parked it I was not drunk ,on looking out of my balcony I was greeted
With the sight of a trailer full of olives kissing ,no snugging my car between
The wheel and headlight.i saw the tractor driver backing up to move the
Trailer and shouted at him that's my car ,after ,3 attempts he heard.
His initial reaction and I couldn't believe it, he just shrugged his shoulders!!!!!
Now I race down there obviously annoyed,and the tractor driver just
Carried on ,now I am thinking he is going to clear off.
I asked for his name,i just got ignored,i then said I will phone the police,
Fortunately my Spanish neighbour came out ,and my son was there now.
He wanted to move the trailer ,but he wouldn't co operate with me ,
So I stood between trailer and tractor,i told my son to take photos of
All details.anyway I let him move the trailer through my Spanish neighbour
Translating ,as he moved the trailer ,I told him to take it easy as the
Bumper was being pulled as well,he was either deaf,not got hearing aid in or just ignored me .
Lucky the bumper stayed where it was.
In the meantime his wife turned up ,and said via my son that you English
Get so stressed ,which I turned round and said ,it was a good 15 mins now
That her husband hadn't even said sorry,much to my amazement he
Turned round and shouted sorry at me.
Anyway we swapped insurance details and he then put the trailer on
The back of his tractor,i did notice the pin was short,he then came
Back and said we will go to the insurance agent.
We walked to his house and waited by the garage for him to get his
Car out ,on reversing his car out he nearly ran his wife over but I pulled
Her out of the way,got in his car.
The first words he said and this is the truth , DON'T WORRY about
Seatbelts ,but we put them on ,just as well,he sped down the road across a
Junction ,but we managed to get to insurance agents in one piece.
So we filled in paperwork,on going out he offered us a lift home,
Even thou it was a light drizzle and only t shirts on we opted to walk home it was a lot safer!!!!
So can anyone tell me if this is the norm?
Am I unreasonable in asking for an apology,having had his
Trailer embedded in my car?
If he had said sorry straight away ,I would have said don't worry
It's only an accident,no one hurt and helped him with his trailer
And why are so many driver's here have split personality when some of
Then get behind a wheel ?
So beware if u see a trailer going up a hill full up ,sit well back.
Lucky enough no body was hurt,but perish the thought if it had hit
Someone,a recipe for a serious accident.
Has anyone had a similar incident ?
Many thanks
