Delivery vans

I’m absolutely livid today because my DD as just rung to say her car has been damaged by a delivery van. He parked so close to her car that he couldn’t open the backdoors and gouged a chunk out of the bonnet and sill of her car in trying to do so.
This is the second time that her car has been damaged by a van from the SAME company! Last year the van wrote off her car by swerving into a space and knocking the wheel arch completely off. She got insurance money but it wasn’t enough to buy a new car. She had to use her hard earned savings.
The drivers in both cases were going to drive off without telling her but she saw what had happened and ran out to confront them.
No excuses, I know they are on a tight schedule but they need to drive properly before someone is injured or killed.

I’d be furious if that happened. But after seeing the film “Sorry We Missed You” I feel sorry for the delivery people too.
