Right lets get this picture out of the way!!!
Had a meeting yesterday in Cardiff for a potential new job and I was going to park in the car park where the Company was based. I was driving down the road and this STUPID idiot drove right out of a T-junction RIGHT infront of me, so I did whats only natural and tried to put my foot through the floor to stop. I only just missed hitting her - nearly T boned her car - then the problem started. Brakes seized on. Brake pedal wouldnt release and all rear brake lights glowing with me standing away from the car. The car was NOT going anywhere - I did try. I was now blocking the car park until I was rescued!
This low loader collected my car - was going to lower the car but only just managed to get on the lorry with cm's to spare at the front bumper - and took back to a local Audi dealer.
They said they couldn't look at it until tomorrow afternoon - Friday, but that hasn't happened! Can't see me having my car back until at least Tuesday/Wednesday! Spoke to Audi today and they said that the lights have now turned off - battery died by now I guess!! Brake lights had been on for about 12hrs and my car's been standing for 30hrs so far and will be there all wknd!!
Exchanged details with the 'blind' driver and both insurance companies wouldn't get involved cause we didn't actually crash. Didnt think it was an insurance issue but I thourght I would try anyway. She did admit she was in the wrong.
Wont find out till at least Monday/Tuesday before they'll let me know what the diagnostics will tell me what the problem is and how much it's gonna cost HER. She'll have the bill - I know where she works or I might have to go to small claims court!
Not happy - I'm now driving my dads Toyota Prius!!
