Great way to start the week

I had two options this morning on my way into work.
1. mount the pavement
2. clip the front wing with an oncoming lorry

I opted to go with the first, in doing so I now have a lovely scuff pretty much the entire way round my front passenger side alloy

F#*king furious to say the least!! Just how I wanted to kick the week off

Option 3 buy a dash cam and take your time bud

Sorry to hear that.
If you had to mount the pavement, how was the driver's side wheel kerbed, surely it would have been the left-hand side?

I dread the day my wheels get scuffed - the gf will be using it as her 'company car' once she goes self-employed in 2 days time. We all know much I worry, this sends me into sweaty palm mode!
To be honest, you've taken the best option and although it will be ~£50 to fix, it could have been a lot worse. I'd still be mega pissed off though.
But as Kev says, a dash cam is a sensible purchase if anything else were to happen. I actually caught a full on assault on mine at the weekend and has been taken as evidence by the Police.

Jesus. I liked how they included the detail of the guy wearing Union Jack shorts, like that had anything to do with it.
I actually read your post as though there had been a full-on assault on your car!

No worries.... tbf I shouldn't have asked!

I've been there and done that badly with mine and know how you feel!

Could always have been worse!

Hope you get her sorted

Sorry to hear this, Sean. A pretty poor couple of choices you had, although a kerbed alloy is the 'better' outcome lorry being driven like a knob??

Gutted.

Sometimes driving with every care in the World still isn't enough.....

Scuffed wheel still isn't 'too bad' though all things considered.

Good luck with the fixing !

Choice of evils by the sound of it Sean. Hope it's a pretty cheap fix mate once you've calmed down
