Default how lucky am i?

i was driving in traffic today after buying some brembo calipers. i was in traffic crawling along when i realised i threw the calipers on my sat nav laying on the floor, i quickly lent overand grabbed the sat nav and felt a BANG. the traffic had stopped so i waited thinking the man would get out? and thinking this means an emptywallet, but he didnt so i got out thinking he'd want to check his car and all calm and relaxed he says
"don't worry about it mate"
i couldnt believe my luck seeing as this was a 51 reg people carrier worth a few grand id imagine. just couldn't believe it lol

Mate of mine a couple of years back drove into the back of an old knacker.

The guy starts pointing out little scratches etc.

Mate gave him Ł20 and told him to stop being a cooont.

Don't always work, another mate clipped an island and somehow ended up parked on 2 wheels on the side of someones car.

He got out and explained he had no insurance, they guy said "what are we going to do?"

Mate replied "Well I'm off to work, you can f*ck off"

This was followed by a visit from the police, a trip to court a ban and a hefty fine, bloody right aswell

I had this happen when driving my old Astra GTE. I had some bird went into the back of it when I was at a roundabout, I was a little bit un-insured so didn't hang around.

I had 2 cars, the GTE and my Levin, MOT and Tax on the Astra, Insurance on the Levin.

Won't be doing that again.
