Hired a van to go off on a road trip this week. Got just north of Ullapool, deer everywhere, so I decided to slow right down just incase one of the suicidal **** decided to try and wipe me out. Unfortunately, it would appear that 20mph still isn’t slow enough to stop if one of the stupid **** things forgets its green cross code. £500 excess on the van hire. Probably about £2500 worth of damage. I’m now home, skint and looking for free stuff to do on the bike round here. I can feel a long audax coming on. I am not going to be popular when I take it back as it had 60 miles on the clock when i picked it up and was the first hirer.
Before anyone else says that I should have paid for the zero excess option, just like TJ did, I am still well in profit by not doing so.
