Insurance job? I hope they don't pass the buck coat

Wow, glad you're ok.

There must have been glass everywhere in the cabin, I take it you didn't get any in your eyes?

The first is specific and too much information for an innocent interest.
Second is guessing? chinny read chinny

Looking at the car, I think you were very lucky. Glad you are ok.

I had a very lucky escape in France back in 2005, hitting a dear at night on a straight road. It was a pretty large deer and we had been travelling at some speed, but I just managed to see it in the lights at the side and hit the brakes.

the deer crossed the road at an angle going roughly in the same direction as we were, which meant that although we hit quite hard, I got away with -

  • Smashed Grille
  • Dents on the bonnet front edge and side
  • 3 very surprised passengers!


We had only just gone past a sign warning about deer as well.

Considered ourselves very lucky at the time.

Unlucky - they do some damage all right.

My dad hit one about 30 years ago and made a right mess of his Peugeot 604.

The plus side is we had venison curry for the next month lick

My dad wrote off three deer on three separate ambulances on the road between Kyle and Inverness.

Wrote off three ambulances at the same time...
