Seven Lame Claims: The Kind Minibus Insurance Companies Can't Laugh Off

Share:    

Minibus insurance, like any other vehicle insurance

, generally isn't amusing. However, some insurance claims can't help but raise a titter, like these did.

1: Weather Eye

This winter's appalling weather prompted a driver to call a taxi (it may have been a minibus), for safety's sake. When the taxi arrived, it skidded into his car. Oops!

2: A Sense of Duty

How about the car that made a citizen's arrest? Thieves reckoned a Land Rover was the ideal car to steal for ram raiding. They aimed their ill-gotten transport at the doors of a jeweller's shop. The trusty Land Rover hit the roller shutter door, climbed it, and fell on its tail. As the vehicle had wedged itself tightly in the doorway, the thieves couldn't open the doors. When the police arrived in their marked minibus, they freed them - and then arrested them.

3: Woolly Jumper

A driver and his passenger got a shock when driving home from the pub. Something hit their car's roof with a huge bang, denting it enough to hit the occupant's heads. The car was braking hard and something slid down off the roof, landed on the bonnet, jumped off and ran away. It was a sheep, which had taken a leap of faith from a transporter lorry that had been involved in a collision with a minibus.

4: Dogged Driving

One man and his dog went to - the local shop for a paper. The man came back, newspaper in hand, to find the minibus - and the dog - were nowhere in sight. When asked, a passer-by said he'd just seen the minibus, being driven by a large dog. Which proves that if you leave a dog untended in a vehicle, it's lead can become entangled with the handbrake - and release it. Fortunately, a parked car stopped the minibus before its canine commander had gone too far.

5: Nutkin Ventured

What is more enjoyable than a nice drive in an open car, through the sunlit woods? Usually nothing is but here, the car's lady driver got a surprise visit. A careless squirrel fell out of a tree into her lap. The startled driver was so taken aback by this and the squirrel's frantic escape attempts that she drove into a tree. A breakdown patrol minibus took the crestfallen lady home; the squirrel was last seen scrambling rapidly up the tree.

6: Rising Damp

The nice part of camper van ownership is that you can pull up and take a snooze in the back whenever you like. One Volkswagen Minibus owner did just this but made the mistake of parking on a beach. He woke to the sound of someone's hammering on the window; he survived but the rising tide claimed his pride and joy. VW went down - happily without all hands.

7: One into Two Won't Go

Two non minibus-driving motorists wanted the same parking space and they both went for it at once. In doing this, they got themselves firmly wedged against neighbouring parked cars and a minibus. Neither motorist could move and neither could open a door, they were stuck fast. The assembled bystanders found it hugely entertaining!
