Wow, I'm glad you're OK Nancy. There is so much of this happening lately. Every few days you hear of car ploughing into a house or swimming pool or fence etc. I'm sorry to hear about Squeaky too, I didn't realise he had passed away. My condolences.

Glad your safe and sound.

I feel sure that had the driver been found a reading then you may have to have sued him for damages etc including the excess.

However, chin up and at least you'll get a nice new spruced up fence.

There is a T intersection diagonally across from the front fence, that's where the car came from. The driver mentioned to our neighbour before the Police arrived that he was doing something with the radio, but I wouldn't mind betting it was his mobile.

At one stage he said he hit the brakes but the car didn't stop, and my son said, 'That would have been the accelerator".

He must have been charged with something as the Police read him his rights, before they searched his car.

As long as you and you family are OK Nancy, That's all that matters Mate.
I would seriously be looking into suing this idiot so that you are not up for the excess or an increase in your premiums :ok:

What a fright, glad you're all ok.

glad that none of the family were hurt nevol .... phew

we aren't allowed to have front fences in the ACT and sometimes I really wish that we did have them - your experience is a perfect example of the benefits of a good solid fence!

Our fence is now back to normal, no cost to us at all. Work was completed late October.

The 'Squeaky' tree has bounced back and is going great guns. :yahoo:

I think I will have a chat to the young blokes down the road
we need a whole new side fence
i'm sure we could easily make it so with the way they drive their cars ha ha
