Rear end of car bumped at Moonshine/Fergusson traffic lights - was this you?
I feel rather embarrassed about this - BUT a young woman bumped the rear end of my red Toyota Corolla on Monday evening 16 October around 7.40pm. She kindly chased after me until I stopped down the road - she asked if I was the red car she'd hit at the traffic lights - I hadn't felt the bump (duhh?) and we both quickly checked but, in the dimming light, couldn't see any apparent damage. HOWEVER on Thursday, I noticed on the lower left-hand side of my rear bumper, there is DAMAGE and it must be the damage done on Monday evening - nothing else could be responsible.
I'm not hugely computer savvy so am sorry I can't include a photo of the damage which isn't huge (possibly why I didn't feel the bump?) but it needs fixing.
I am hoping that the conscientious young woman - or someone who knows her - will please contact me so that we can sort out repair via insurance. Please help me find her. Many thanks.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.2% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.6% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.2% ... It is complicated
