I was in college car park and i was wating for a ka driver to pull out of the space and let me in. I looked at my mirror saw a tigra driver, i put it into reverse and then slowly eased off the clutch. The tigra didnt even move so i slammed my brakes on hitting the tigra driver. There was not even a scratch on my car but the tigra light had cracked, not even smashed. I was polite and she is now going to fix it off the insurance record. I can get the left hand light for £60, can anybody get it cheaper?

So what your saying is, you were in a car park and reversed straight into a car behind, that you knew was there?
I wouldnt really say the Tigra driver is 'stupid'. Not 100% aware, but definately not stupid. It would appear your actions were more along those lines.
As for headlights, yes, £60-80 is what you'd expect to pay for a tigra light brand new. Then it needs to be fitted.

yes. im afraid you are totally in the wrong mate as you just reversed into the car behind.
as for the light. go get one from vaux for £60 cos you wont get it any cheaper than that elsewhere

if ur driving forwards, and there is a car blocking ur path, do you just keep driving until u hit it, or does this only happen when using reverse?

thanks for the sarcasim, but usually when you see a car reversing you do the same and move back. I expected her to move, that was my fault and that is why i aggree it was my fault and thats why i am paying for repairs. I just expected the driver to have more sense and move back that is all.

Yea I had to get a new 1 and was £60 brand new. Thing is have u checked the other headlight? Coz wen my car got hit the drivers broke but coz of the impact onto the car the socket that holds the bulb in on my passenger headlight came off and now floats around the headlight so need a new 1 of them also.
