Have you had a road traffic accident in the last two years?

Who should call just after I read this but someone saying I had an accident recently.

What was your accident?
- I ran into the back of a police car
It was not your fault?
- No - they stopped suddenly.
OK ma'am, we can get you compensation, blah, blah... just give me more details
- I was doing 50 mph in a 30 mph limit, and the police car stopped suddenly in front of me so I ran into the back of them.
What car were you in?
- I was in my Ferrari. It was a bit expensive to repair.
How many people... blah
- There were two policemen in the car...

when he asked for my registration number, I just said - have you listened to a word I've said - how can you possibly think that if I was speeding and hit a police car from behind, that you could get me compensation.

Then someone else came on the line...
- why are you lying to me

I wish I had read the thread earlier I just said Goodbye as he mentioned accident!

They probably aren't legally qualified people, they are probably canvassers employed by telesales/telecanvassing services ........

... but frightening how many are law graduates, working their way up to a position where they can start paying off their student loan.

Yes, I accidentally crashed through a shop window at 50mph and the contents of the till and some of the stock accidentally ended up in my boot. I couldn't see where I was going as the balaclava obscured my vision.

Yes.

I had an accident recently. Over Christmas dinner Aunt Mable told this joke about a monkey and an elephant, I can't recall the punchline, something about a cork I think - any way, you know when they say "I laughed so much I nearly shat myself"...? Well, yeah, not so much "nearly".

I remember getting a call and replied with "just 5 minutes ago actually"
"what happened?"
"The phone rang and I assumed it to be important as I'm TPS registered and only my dad has the number, I got out of the bath quickly, sliped and fell face first onto the concrete floor trying to get to the phone before it stopped ringing"
"who was on the phone"
"YOU!"

they hung up...
