- You can not be serious?
- =======================
-
- By Micheal Brown
-
-
- These are genuine extracts from motor accident claim forms received by a
- large insurance office in London.
-
-
- 1.. The accident was due to the other man narrowly missing me.
-
- 2.. Lorry halted and worked for the Corporation.
-
- 3.. I collided with a stationary tramcar coming in the opposite
- direction.
-
- 4.. The occupants were stalking dear on the hillside.
-
- 5.. I left my Austin 7 outside, but when I came out later , to my
- amazement, there was an Austin 12.
-
- 6.. To avoid collision I ran into the other car.
-
- 7.. There were plenty of lookers-on but no witnesses.
-
- 8.. The water in my radiator accidentally froze at 12 midnight.
-
- 9.. Car had to turn sharper than was necessary owing to an invisible
- lorry.
-
- 10. I was scraping my nearside on the bank when the accident happened.
-
- 11. After the accident a working gentleman offered to be a witness in my
- favour.
-
- 12. I collided with a stationary tree.
-
- 13. There was no damage done to the car as the gatepost will testify.
-
- 14. Accident was due to the road bending.
-
- 15. The witness gave his occupation as a gentleman, but it would be more
- correct to call him a garage proprietor.
-
- 16. The other man altered his mind and I had to run into him.
-
- 17. Ice on the road applied brakes causing skid.
-
- 18. I told the idiot what he was and went on.
-
- 19. One wheel went into the ditch. My foot jumped from the brake to
- accelerator pedal, leapt across the road to the other side and jumped
- into the trunk of a tree.
-
- 20. I remember nothing after passing the Crown Hotel until I came to and
- saw PC Brown.
-
- 21. A bull was standing near and a fly must have tickled him because he
- gored my car.
-
- 22. A cow wandered into my car, I was afterwards informed that the cow
- was half-witted.
-
- 23. She suddenly saw me, lost her head and we met.
-
- 24. I was taking a friend home and keeping two yards from each lamp post
- which were in a straight line. Unfortunately there was a bend in the
- road bringing the right hand lamp post in line with the other and of
- course I landed in the ditch.
-
- 25. If the other driver had stopped a few yards behind himself, it would
- not have happened.
-
- 26. I bumped into a shop window and sustained injuries to my wife.
-
- 27. I bumped into a lamp post which was obscured by human beings.
-
- 28. I heard a horn blow and was struck violently in the back. Evidently
- a lady was trying to pass me.
-
- 29. I misjudged a lady crossing the street.
-
- 30. Coming home I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I
- haven't got.
-
- 31. Three women were all talking to each other, and when she stepped
- back and one stepped forward I had to have an accident.
-
- 32. I can't give details of the accident as I was somewhat concussed at
- the time.
-
- 33. Wilful damage to the upholstery was done by rats.
-
- 34. A pedestrian hit and went underneath my car.
-
- 35. I blew my horn but it would not work as it was stolen.
-
- 36. A lamp post bumped into my car, damaging it in two places.
-
- 37. My car was stolen and I set up a human cry, but it has not been
- recovered.
-
- 38. The car in front stopped suddenly and I crashed gently into its
- luggage grid.
-
- 39. I left my car unattended for a minute, and whether by accident or
- design it ran away.
-
- 40. The other car collided with me, without giving warning of his
- intention.
-
- 41. I unfortunately ran over the pedestrian and the old gentleman was
- taken to hospital, much regretting the circumstances.
-
- 42. On entering Wales I blew my horn at the left hand corner.
-
- 43. I thought the side window was down but it was up as I found out when
- I put my head through it.
-
- 44. I considered neither vehicle was to blame, but if either was to
- blame it was the other one.
-
- 45. I was proceeding along the road at a moderate speed when another car
- rushed out of a side turning and turned upside down in a ditch.
- It was his fault as he said.
-
- 46. I knocked over the man, he admitted it was his fault, as he had been
- knocked down before.
-
- 47. I looked for the sign but the more I looked the more I couldn't find
- it.
