BHPian vamsi.vadrevu<\/strong> recently shared this with other enthusiasts.<\/p>\n Hi All,<\/p>\n I’ve had the misfortune of receiving a dent and a few scratches to my beloved car today.<\/p>\n I’m thoroughly disappointed and sad about scratches to my car! I keep thinking if there was a way I could have avoided this. Perhaps I should have pilot braked before actual braking. I didn’t think my braking was so sudden as to be considered as an emergency halt!<\/p>\n Should I claim insurance for these scratches? What would the cost be!<\/p>\n I know I should expect scratches and dents to cars in the city but this is heart-breaking!<\/p>\n I asked the motorist if he was ok and then asked him why he didn’t brake! He said blandly that he braked but the vehicle didn’t stop. I can however see in my own dashcam footage he was in fact accelerating while my vehicle was slowing down. He should have seen my brake lights come on!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Here’s what BHPian jomyboy<\/strong> had to say on the matter:<\/p>\n That is so disappointing to see. I’ve had a fair few incidents with bikers as well albeit at slower speeds, so kinda got away with minor scratches. I think an FNG can get it done for a reasonable price without insurance. I have only used my insurance once for a Rs 30,000 odd job and had every other dealer quoting that repair while selling my car.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Check out BHPian comments for more insights and information.<\/p>\n\n
