Driving on a country lane I was confronted by a herd of cows coming
towards
me. The traffic behind would not reverse so I pulled in as tight as
possible in a passing space. But the inevitable happened and a cow
tried
to
climb over the car. Very frightening and made a real mess of my 6 week
old
(bought from new) car.

I know how you feel. They're big buggers when you get up close and
personal.

The insurance form was great fun. Try your own answers

Make of other vehicle:
Colour of Other vehicle:
Registration Number:
Distinguishing featu
Approximate Speed of other vehicle:
Did the other vehicle stop:
Did the other vehicle sound its horn?
Did it have headlights (dipped or main) switched on?
Did it signal its intentions?

My insurance company classed it as a "single vehicle accident" so I'd have
to pay a higher excess! lol. Bull**** to that! (no pun intended) It wasn't
until I kicked up a stink and told them I'd be looking to another company
for my insurance needs in future, that they finally came around and waved
the higher excess. But they still classed it as a single vehicle accident.
I
suppose if you want to be technical that's quite true. But it's not like I
was speeding and hit a tree. It was a bloody cow in the middle of the road
on a dark night for crying out loud! lol.

Cheers,

Russ.



They couldn't class mine as single vehicle as I was stationary with engine
off. What made it worse was the guy driving the cows gave me a false name
and address. I also knocked on all the local farmhouses and all denied
owning the field. I felt like building a something on the land and then we
would find out who owned it.
