thats **** mate, had a problem like that in my old car, was over taking and the truck didnt like it so swerved out causing me to hit a curb with my brand new £1000 alloys. wasnt overly impressed with that.

sorry to hear that fella - theres a bugger of a bend near in my area and people coming around tend to come in to the other lane - leave me thinking you got the whole bloody side of the road - why come over this side -

 

[ian_cupra]

Unlucky mate, In london just as you near the m1 i think j2 theres a roundabout by an esso garage (where ive also seen a dead body being carted away from one of the houses!) anyway its prob the only r'bout i know where the person on the roundabout has to give way to the person coming down the hill onto it and a bus wasnt looking where it was going and cut me up and I ended up curbing my alloys after having to mount the pavement at a 45 degree angle luckily not hitting the tree right next to it. Wasnt happy about that!

know what you mean - ive driven up to a round, looked to my right and giving way then everyone started tooting me - apprantly its my right of way -

Did you manage to get any details of the truck.

Had a similar thing happen to me on a short stretch of dual carriageway between roundabouts in my astra, truck just decided to pull into my lane and i had to mount the kerb (luckily an angled kerb so didn't damage the alloys) and onto grass in central reservation while braking.
Boy did the horn get some use that day.

Hope you get the wheel sorted soon.

did it pop the tyre aswell? i hate being cut up...obviously, did you get his reg or company name etc.....

 

[ian_cupra]

the tyre is ok, didnt get a chance to get owt off the truck, by time knew about it was too late!
