Just had a fantastic time on the Isle of Skye this summer. Went to Kilt Rock and here someone witnessed a camper van reversing with a loaded cycle rack on the back, no one watching the driver reverse. hey presto the cycle rack left a lovely dent  and a great shade of bare metal showing in the the side of my car. The driver apparrantly got out and looked in wonder at the result of his usless driving. He then did the decent thing got back into his camper van and drove into the distance. Unfortunatley the witness couldn't get the number. It as left me with a bill for the repair and a sour taste in my mouth.

Please don't rely on judgement or reversing cameras/sensors. These are only to assist you reverse. If your have a larger than normal rear and in doub't get some one to watch your rear!

Whoa, thats very bad

The selfishness of some people is frankly disgusting,if it was me (and it wasn't) I would have owned up, seriously!  Thats what insurance is for...

I thought I would add I actually watched someone reverse a motorhome into a wall a couple of years back, the funny thing was that someone was stood behind the motorhome helping the driver!!

Motorhome goes bang, "helper" shouts WHOA!  Idiots.

I to have seen some people help others to reverse. there should be some special courses for assisting reversing. That's it I should start a "assist reversing training school" I could make a fortune?

I take it UKStevie that you forgave before the sun went down?

Unfortunatly RobM this is way our modern society is going, no respect for others.
