A taxi driver pulled up at the side of the road and calls to a child standing there.

"Do me a favour sonny, run over the road and get me a newspaper".

The kid replied, "Sorry mister, I'm not allowed to cross the road".

So the taxi driver had to run over himself.

This is a true story.

My ex was heading to his first delivery of the morning. He was driving a truck and he started to brake as he was approaching traffic which was at a standstill on a dual carriageway when suddenly he was rammed by a truck from behind. My ex and the other driver were exchanging details and rather than cause more traffic to build up behind them they agreed to drive to a bus stop (which was a mile further along the road) where they could continue to assess the damage to both vehicles. My ex headed off first with the other truck following on behind. As my ex approached the bus stop he noticed there was a car parked up so he tried to park as close to the car as he could so the other truck could park behind him. Just as he pulled the handbrake on he was shunted forward by the same truck that he collided with half an hour previous! This in turn made my ex’s truck shunt the parked car at the front of the bus stop into the field. It turned out that the truck that crashed into him twice had faulty brakes. Oh and the insurance company would only pay out for one incident!

Why does that not surprise me about insurance companies. I worked with a guy who arrived at work one day, absolutely fuming. He explained what had happened the day before. As he was driving to work, a car coming the other direction, crossed the centre line of the road and ploughed into his car. Completely wrecking it. Turned out the guy in the other car had had a heart attack and died as he collided with my friend. He had contacted the insurance company, only to find that because the other guy was dead, at the time of the accident, he was no longer insured. My friend had to pay all the expenses for the wrecked car, including the hire-purchase payments that were still outstanding.
My wife used to say that insurance was a scam.

Oh my goodness! That’s shocking. It makes you wonder why we pay for car insurance when the insurance companies don’t want to pay out.
