The "one in one out" scheme with France has had its second migrant returning to the UK by boat. The man was detained immediately having been detected by biometrics and will be sent back to France "as quickly as possible",...the Home Office has said.
My next door neighbour doesn't have to worry anymore about his Range Rover being stolen for a second time. Last week he wrote it off....he was waiting at road works for the single lane to become clear....he saw two cars coming through....so pulled out to go through the single lane once they had passed....to be promptly hit by a third car coming through. This third car was a Mini....it hit the front of the Range Rover at an angle....and of course was badly damaged....but the extraordinary thing was that the Range Rovers front wheels ended up facing sideways plus the engine unit being badly damaged. How on earth can a little Mini cause so much damage to a Monster Range Rover ?......he has a feeling that he will lose his driving licence because of his age and because he admits that it was his fault.
Road vehicles aren’t engineered as tanks and the front end is a crumple-zone to absorb the shock of a head-on impact. That means sacrificing the body work to protect the occupants of both vehicles.
£40,000 written off just like that.....I think I was told that if a repair cost more than 60% of the value of the vehicle the insurer just writes it off.
