She kindly chased after me until I stopped down the road - she asked if I was the red car she'd hit at the traffic lights - I hadn't felt the bump (duhh?) and we both quickly checked but, in the dimming light, couldn't see any apparent damage. HOWEVER on Thursday, I noticed on the lower left-hand side of my rear bumper, there is DAMAGE and it must be the damage done on Monday evening - nothing else could be responsible.
I'm not hugely computer savvy so am sorry I can't include a photo of the damage which isn't huge (possibly why I didn't feel the bump?) but it needs fixing.
I am hoping that the conscientious young woman - or someone who knows her - will please contact me so that we can sort out repair via insurance. Please help me find her. Many thanks.
I have an old fridge freezer that I want to dispose of. Is there anywhere other than the Silverstream tip in the Upper Hutt area?
Thanks
Have a great long weekend ! Stay safe !
