Ah, thanks for that. Problem is I don't know if it's worth the hassle or if I'm on to plums with a claim...

Thanks for the reply. Couldn't have been driving more than 10 or 15mph but the kerb is higher and sharper than it looks, trust me. And I agree - looks like it's been hit a thousand times. I assume that Glasgow City Council is responsible for the roads around that area. So, I've had to park my car almost where I made impact with the kerb and leave it there. I had to take out a policy with a popular recovery service last night and I'm probably going to give it the '24 hour minimum period' and then try and get it recovered. You're probably already aware that getting an emergency recovery costs like £170 or there about's (on top of committing to a membership) so that's the only option I really had. On top of that, I'm parked in an area that threatens an £100 fine for on road parking. Just about to give them a call and mention the situation I'm in. Should be fun... Not quite sure what you mean regarding the insurance. I actually phoned my insurance last night and asked about recovery and they were only going to recover the vehicle if they were also going to be liable for repairs. Problem is, I've got a £600 excess that I stupidly put on at the start of the policy that had already bit me in the ar*e a few times this year already. I think it's going to be a £600 minimum repair if I go through my insurance so I'm in a bit of a pinch and don't really know what to do. Cheers.

Hi guys, Just looking for some advice. I'm a pretty vigilant driver but about 2 hours ago (midnight-ish) I accidentally drove over the side of a traffic island that wasn't visible in the slightest due to how dark it was and the lack of markings. I do realise some might blame me for cutting the corner slightly but surely it has to be better marked than that? A crumbling, unmarked mess in the centre of a badly lit junction? I'm conflicted whether to push the issue or not. Had to leave the car pretty much in situ with the risk of getting some parking fines. Oh well.... Think I need to just suck it up? I'm a bit stuck and don't know if I can afford the repairs this may cost. Front axle really took a battering. Here are the coordinates for GMaps - 55°51'38.1"N 4°25'29.2"W Also, attached a couple of images as reference. Cheers in advance.
