Funny Motor Insurance Claims
People often say funny things that don't make sense.
Here are some funny motor insurance claims.
You can read more [url="http://www.businessballs.com/insuranceclaims.htm"]here[/url].
1) I started to slow down but the traffic was more stationary than I thought.
2) I knew the dog was possessive about the car but I would not have asked her to drive it if I had thought there was any risk.
3) The car in front hit the pedestrian but he got up so I hit him again.
4) I pulled away from the side of the road, glanced at my mother-in-law and headed over the embankment.
5) The other car collided with mine without giving warning of its intention.
6) I collided with a stationary truck coming the other way.
7) A pedestrian hit me and went under my car.
8) In an attempt to kill a fly, I drove into a telephone pole. [my note: must have been a large fly!]
9) I had been shopping for plants all day and was on my way home. As I reached an intersection a hedge sprang up obscuring my vision and I did not see the other car.
10) I was thrown from the car as it left the road. I was later found in a ditch by some stray cows.
11) The guy was all over the road. I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him.
12) I had been driving for forty years when I fell asleep at the wheel and had an accident.
13) To avoid hitting the bumper of the car in front I struck a pedestrian.
14) I was sure the old fellow would never make it to the other side of the road when I struck him.
15) The telephone pole was approaching. I was attempting to swerve out of the way when I struck the front end.
16) The pedestrian ran for the pavement, but I got him.
The reason for sharing these quotes is that sometimes we are thinking one thought, but our writing conveys an entirely different meaning. (16) for example--I doubt strongly that he was "aiming" for the pedestrian. Instead, the pedestrian was probably running for cover when he was hit.
I hope this was of some amusement.

- Not sure if I'd want to tell an actual company my claims but you do get chance to win a Sat Nav and a free MOT if you put a story in.
