Driver-inflicted windscreen damage
Imagine the scenario, you're idly cruising along a scenic countryside lane when out of nowhere a suicidal duck comes hurtling towards your car windscreen. Such a scenario may be enough to deter some people from ever taking to the road again.
Rather worryingly the windscreen repair specialists Autoglass have reported that such events occur with some regularity. Indeed, during the last year alone the motoring public have made calls about snowball and pheasant-related damage.
One may well wonder how the call centre staff managed to keep the smirks from their faces when being told about the man who parked in front of a golfer’s tee, or the apparently evil intentions of the most adorable feathered critters.
They must also have struggled to resist a laugh at the expense of the motorist who managed to cause damage by scraping their windscreen with a Susan Boyle CD. Apparently such tales are only to be expected as part of working life at an auto repair company.
The Autoglass Managing Director said, “The UK's potholed and congested roads don't make things easy for motorists, but sometimes it seems vehicle and glass damage is self inflected or the result of freak occurrences.”
