Hire Car 3

Got the hire car a few hours after approving the documents. Got a Vauxhall Corsa. Feels weird in a new car with different handling, but I guess it’s only temporary.

Used it to do some shopping.

Hire Car 2

Called the hire car company and they confirmed it would be no cost to me, even though the docs are worded really weirdly. Apparently, they are required to display the costs, even though they are going to be recovered from the third party.

We shall see if they try to screw me over.

Training in Quarantine – Day 28

3k walk today, which took me about 30 mins, then I decided to take up FitBit’s offer to a 3 month trial of Premium, which included access to FitBit Coach (which I used previously). Picked up where I left off and resumed my “Get Lean” program. Today’s workout was also 30 mins long and definitely made me sweat. God, I’m so out of shape… :-(

In other news, I finally got called by my insurance company and have so far spent two hours on the phone with different companies — the insurance company, the accident claims management company partnering the insurance company and the assessors who are responsible to checking whether the car is repairable.

My dad’s car, which was also damaged has been declared a writeoff, even though it suffered less visible damage than my car. Mine hasn’t been declared written off yet, although I’ve sent all the videos and photos I have to the assessors. We shall see whether or not I need to get a new car….

Wreck

Friday is normally considered a drinking day due to no work the following day. But with the pubs closed, you would think people wouldn’t be drinking.

Nope.

Someone was, and managed to pretty much wreck my car, and three other cars in the laybay where I park my car.

I can’t figure out what this guy was thinking. Was he on the phone? Was he texting? Going too fast? All of these? Who knows. What I do know is that if this guy was travelling fast enough to knock down a traffic light, drag it 20 metres, and wreck his engine, then someone standing at the crossing (which is exactly where the van has come to rest), wouldn’t stand a chance….
