If your thinking of going out in the car tonight DONT do it unless really needed. I've just got back in, and after the rain the roads around Swansea are like skating rinks  Saw 3 bumps in the matter of a mile, I could hardly stand up on the road outside my house.  |

Gutted for you both, but yes call the Police. Bloody taxi drivers firm will only try to wangle out of it somehow and he must have been going at a fare rate to have caused that amount of damage. |

Yes typical Police answer and you'd think they'd call just to use their breathalyser on the taxi driver or nab him for speeding?
I'd get out there with my camera and take lots of snaps just in case then.

Yeah, they did offer to try and get the council out to grit the road. I said cheers, its a bit late now ! I've moved the clio now into a safe spot as we get loads of taxi's up here and the road is getting worse, took pics, does this look like he was going less than 10mph  |
