So, I parked my car outside my house so that I could load some stuff into it and some doddering old numpty who should've lost his license about 20 years ago fell asleep at the wheel, bounced off next door's car and hit mine head-on.
Kind of funny that my Land Rover only sustained (apparently) minimal damage but the other car (a VW Polo) got seriously mangled*, but I digress.
My insurance company has been emailing me a variety of forms to fill in and return.
Only trouble is, firstly, the forms are all "baked into" the emails which means there's no way to edit them to complete the forms and, secondly, the forms all require a signature so a digital copy of the form isn't good enough.
Going back to the first issue, even if I print out the email in order to complete the forms, there's no way to just print out the "form" part of the emails so the result is always going to be a bit halfassed.
I can't help thinking that the logic behind all this isn't to "save the environment" and is, instead, just to "let the customer pay for the paper that's used instead of us".
*Yes, I'm well aware that modern cars are designed to "crumple" whereas a more rigid vehicle can suffer extensive damage as a result of forces being transferred throughout it.
My Landie is fitted with "crash-cans" behind the bumper, though, so they'll deform before any forces are transferred to the chassis and the crash-cans aren't buckled, even though the entire front of the Polo was mangled.
