That hasn't happened to me, but if it did I'd get her details and threaten to make an insurance claim naming her as the at fault party, in which case your excess would be refunded. On a related note, I bent both steps on my D Max driving through rough terrain and was able to straighten them out fairly well. I took them off completely and dismantled them. The silver /grey bit along the outside which I presume is your damaged bit slides out of the extrusion and I was able to press it back into reasonable shape. I doubt if that piece would be available as a spare without buying the whole step (or both).Something close to your incident happened once in a shopping centre car park. I was carefully opening my door and a gust of wind caught it and slammed it into the door of the car next to me, an old Camry with a large Maori lady sitting in it. I did have concerns for my safety. She was a big girl.I apologised most profusely and before I could say anything else she laughed and said "don't worry about it, it happens all the time".
I avoid parking next to other vehicles, but if it's unavoidable I will actually look for a space that has a low clearance style of car parked next to it for the very reason that their door will hit my step rather than the bodywork. I also line the external mirror up with their car so that if their door opens onto my car it will hit the mirror rather than the bodywork. For this reason I don't fold the mirrors in. Not one ding in my 4 year old MU-X yet. Valkie, it seems you remained quite calm in this incident. I think that I would have gone off my head at this imbecile.CheersMartin.
Valkie, you are obviously a very inconsiderate and nasty man for not taking responsibility for what someone else did to their car. How can you expect the lady to be worried about other people’s vehicles when clearly she is a very busy. I would love to here the complaint being taken at the local police station. Unfortunately, some “special” human beings simply cannot take responsibility for their actions no matter how wrong they are. And why do some think it’s ok to sit on motorbikes that don’t belong to them? Ahhhhhh. Does my head in.
You should see my missus car, she works for bunnings.enough said.
I can't believe the hide of people Valkie. I assume you never heard more.Our MU-X at at the smash repairs atm (wife's fault, different story) so I asked them for a quote for some paintless dent removal whilst it's there. I only knew of 2 dents (I did 1, one of the kids did the other, both from my other car next to it in the garage) and they found 6 altogether. People just don't care. I'm always reminding my kids at car parks, careful on your doors.
Being black probably don't help much either.She now no longer cares, just shrugs her shoulders and says, oh well, another one.
