I had a very close call yesterday when leaving the A34 roundabout over the M3 to join the M3 southbound. Two lanes leave the roundabout for the M3 I was in the outer lane indicating left when I was suddenly aware that the car on the inside lane had put their right hand indicator on and then proceeded to cut across the front of my car (I can only guess that they had realised that they had taken the wrong exit!). I did an emergency stop and can now testify as to how good the brakes are! The other car swerved around the front of my car narrowly missing the safety barrier and carried on around the roundabout. I thought I had managed to avoid the other car but today I realised that I have some slight but really irritating damage to the front near side corner (please see attached photo). Just wondering if anyone knows how much the piece of trim is. Also is there any where I can put a post requesting and dash cam footage that someone may have?

Have a go at polishing it out yourself.
You might be surprised how effective a bit of elbow grease can be.

And buy your own dash cam.

There is nowhere to my knowledge you can ask random folk for their dashcam footage from dates and points in time on a particular bit of the road network.

I managed to do a good job of sorting the damage an inattentive twonk did to my etron in a car park last year.

P.S. Chips away wanted over £400 to repair my damage.

I was in the car when the other car drove into me.

I got the third party to pay the bill (Damage estimate) pocketed the cash, then spent 30 minutes sorting it out.

Kerrching!
