IT WASN'T MY FAULT Joke
The
ingenuity of drivers involved in accidents, in seeking to assert
their innocence, or at least excuse their errors, is
apparently
inexhaustible, judging from this genuine
selection of excerpts from
insurance claims.
<> I consider that neither vehicle was to blame, but
if either were
to blame,
it was the other one.
<>
I knocked over a man. He admitted it was his fault as he had been
run over before.
<> One wheel went into the
ditch, my feet jumped from the brake to
the accelerator pedal,
leaped across to the other side, and
jammed into the trunk of a
tree.
<> I collided with
a stationary tram car coming the other way.
<> To avoid a collision, I ran into the other car.
<> The car had to turn
sharper than was necessary, owing to an invisible truck.
<> After the accident, a
working gentleman offered to be witness in my favour.
<> I collided with a
stationary tree.
<> The
other man altered his mind, so I had run over him.
<> I told the other idiot what he was, and went on my
way.
<> I can give no
details of the accident, as I was somewhat concussed
at the time.
<> A pedestrian hit me and
went under my car.
<> I blew my horn, but it would
not work as it had been stolen.
<> I unfortunately ran over a pedestrian, and the old
gentleman was
taken to hospital, much regretting the
circumstances.
<> I
thought the side window was down, but it was up, as I found when
I put my head through it.
<> A cow wandered into my car. I was afterwards
informed that the
cow was half-witted.
<> A bull was standing
nearby, and a fly must have tickled him, as he
gored my
car.
<> She suddenly saw
me, lost her head, and we met.
<> A truck backed through my windscreen into my
wife's face.
<> I ran
into a shop window, and sustained injuries to my wife.
<> I misjudged a lady
crossing the street.
<>
Coming home, I drove into the wrong house, and collided with a
tree I haven't got.
<> I left my car unattended for a minute, when by
accident or design,
it ran away.
<> The other car collided
with mine, without giving any warning of
its
intentions.
