Surely it would only have been courteous to contact the farmer and put him in touch with your insurer before leaving the vehicle, especially as damage has occurred to his property? I have no idea why he was talking to the RAC, unless he was insured by them? Recovery after an accident is your insurer's responsibility, as is making good any damage to 3rd party property and any consequences arising from the need to move the vehicle.

I wouldn't take either side in this one. The farmer was within his rights and, probably, annoyed. But the lad who left his car seems genuine enough and we can all say what he should have done after the fact, but he's just put his pride and joy into a fence so probably wasn't thinking straight.

Yes I was going to sit on the fence as well.... ::)

I very much doubt that the lad driving even considered that there may have been livestock in the field, and probably wouldn't have even have thought of the consequences of the animals getting out....  :-\

He went through the roof as the car was at an angle and the forks only tilt so far (yes, it was that badly crashed). Looks like the roof tore as it was lifted

As for the Bentley, its a two ton forklift so couldn't lift it  ;D ;D ;D

To be honest, Ed is a bit of a lad but not stupid and not unreasonable.

Ahh... I'd assumed it was a telescopic as they are most common on farms ;)

I don't see the farmer as being in the wrong and he had to secure his livestock ;)

What consequences  :-\ it is always someone elses fault, (usually mine ::)), so any cosequences are totally irrelevant and therefore not even worthy of consideration, surely :P

Write off or not, farmer Fred has no right to cause damage to other people's property.

He is not a Loss adjuster, engineer, assessor or scrap merchant, I'm guessing?

Easy one this, stop reading the Daily Fail. Fixed, next!

Yes, this is the second thread involving the MailOnline today.

Rather puts one off of reading the Daily Mail - which I don't for this very reason.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)

Yes Lizzy. The "Daily Fail clique" I call them. ;D


Mind you as r1 says, it is a French s**t box, so fair do's to the farmer, I suppose. ;)
