In a bit of bad luck today, I got hit by a loose roadworks sign. The car in front drove over it and flicked it up which the wind caught and sent it my way. It was so quick there was not avoiding it.
In some ways I think there was some luck as at least it didn't go through the windscreen or I wasn't on a motorbike. Either of those could have been fatal.
The damage is as you'd expect.
The light could be buffed to something acceptable perhaps, but the bumper and bonnet not so much.
They really should take more care of these roadwork signs, especially when they know there are strong winds.
Considering my options now - go direct to the council (or road management company) or let the insurance deal with it?
