One of the culprits owned up.

The person (see previous story) who drove her car against our wall came round to see us. She needed to complete her car insurance claim form, and it requires signatures by both parties. So we should get our wall painted by the insurers for the second time. Meanwhile, the car left behind (7957 RR 86) on our bank has been taken away surreptitiously. In dragging it away the person made a groove with the tyres along our verge, and that of our neighbour and the land in between. Fortunately, the only damage is cosmetic, and the grass will conceal the gouging in a few months time.

It's happened yet again!

 

 

 

 

This morning we noticed some flashing lights outside the house, but couldn't see what was going on as the high wall obstructed our vision. Later on, after we dressed and went outside, we saw the results of three separate car accidents that had probably resulted from black ice. One car had hit our wall, and presumably managed to drive off (without reporting to us of course). The second had been on the other side of the road, going towards Lavausseau, and gouged out the earth in the ditch alongside the road. The third drove into our trees alongside the swimming pool, and embedded itself in the earth. As can be seen in the photo, though the occupants made off without apologies, the car is still there, with the registration number clearly to be seen. It had knocked down two warning posts that were installed by the council in the summer. As the police were in attendance during some of the crashes, we'll report the incidents and request insurance details.
