Over Zealous Car Driver...

This morning while waiting at the lights in Kennington SE London, so stupid toss decided to somehow move off with me and ended up smashing into my numberplate.

I hear a crack, and look round to see the plate, hanging by the lighting wire, that is attached to it.

Slightly raged, with a little Red-Mist descending on me...I told him what the F***, and a few choice words then rode off to FWR Ltd, to get me some replacement screws to screw the plate back on.

Luckily, for some reason he managed to just pop the holding screws, so was quite lucky there.

rant over...back to work.

more importantly, is that a grey beard, a shadow or a birthmark on ya chin?!!

chin up....couldve been worse and all that..still a PITA tho!

Silly bugger! At least it was a cheap fix mate. Should have maybe got their details, what if you now have a puncture or bent wheel?

Dappa D, only a shadow from the Athens Sunset , and yes it could've been worse.

vardypeeps, Didn't think of that...but the ride seemed ok finishing off journing to work.

Will check on Saturday as new rear tyre will be purchased.

Ouch..

Glad to hear the damage was only minor & easily fixed

Oh dear...are they really that bad? was going to get my rear tyre from them tomorrow.

maybe not then.

To be honest think i would of said he did some damage to rear tyre,
that way you get a new one free of charge, and next time the turd will think about what he's doing because it could of been a lot worse!!
Glad it's all ok though mate.

I know...looking back at it, should've made the most of the situation, but the red mist was upon me - so wasn't really thinking about getting his details to get a new tyre and new rear can of of it

but in all fairness, at least it wasn't anything else more serious.
