Default bad weather.. bad drivers ...bad morning !

Well landrover was broken in to last week side glass was shashed, all they took was my road camera (records the traffic) it was a pain but could have been worse - anyway first day ive driven without a camera for ages... someone turns left suddenly.. i stopped (was only going around 20mph)... person behind me didn't.. person behind them didn't... woman behind him didn't... 3 badly damaged cars... and me in my landrover with a bump on the rear (thank god for solid landrover.. ) so glad i left enough space! really annoys me when people drive so close, luckly im ok , as is the landrover (and everyone else )... but thats twice in 2 years and sods law without the camera ! Im 99% sure there was no damage to me so lucky escape , hopefully this one goes smoothly , i dont need to claim or anything this time phew... anyway ladys and gents leave plenty of space !!

Blimey...that is properly bad luck! Good job you were in the LR and not the S, I doubt the S would have come off scratch free!

I was looking at Road Hawk yesterday, for £200 it looks like a good deal.

the one i had is around £40 on ebay , thats why i was annoyed , the police recon the moron thought it was a sat nav... £90 for the side window and the camera lost.. i suppose i was lucky as my head unit had the face on... dont EVER leave it in usually but was tired when i got home, milkman saw it happen so they ran off with what ever they could 'grab ' at least this time i dont have to worry about insurance companys etc as i have no dammage, just a witness to the other 3 getting damaged... the next camear i get i will mount on the dash not stick it on the window...

Sounds like you could fall in roses & come up smelling of shit at the moment, Tom!

Hope you get it all sorted out OK.

Look on the plus side you could have been in something less robust then the LR
