We heard of two stressful motoring stories involving women drivers this weekend.
The first is about a once tidy looking car which has been parked alongside the High Street in a Sussex village for a while and has been the subject of malicious vandalism. The owner doesn’t know who but the car has been dented, tyres damaged and paint stripper applied to devastating effect. Nobody has seen anything of course.
The car is a P reg Ford so she has scrappage options if she’s quick but she isn’t really in the market for a new car. And the tax runs out next month so it’s decision time and a distressed sale price likely…
The second story is the result of a car accident. The Renault Clio in question is shared by two young sisters in Surrey. One had a minor but expensive ‘bump’ and the girls now need a replacement car and a good deal for the sad looking Clio.
In cases like these, the whole family is affected, providing alternative transport, helping deal with tricky insurance claims and providing an occasional shoulder to cry on.
We can now do our bit to ease the load.
