She is worried because there are cars either side of the car.
What if they get damaged?
Guessing it would be covered by her insurance, she obviously can't be blamed for a fault she knew nothing about.Quote:

Not that I'm saying that's what happened here - I have no idea. Glad everyone is okay.
Blimey, that's horrible.Quote:
