Somebody crashed into my car whilst it was parked on the side of the road. I was inside the house having a chat. The Perp knocked on the door and provided all of their details.
Very nice of them – and I won’t go into how on earth they managed to crash into a car that was on the opposite side of the road to them.
Anyway – we call our Insurance Company and they want all relevant details – fair enough.
But then they ask for my Drivers Licence and my Licence Number.
Huh?
Why? No one was in the bloody thing so it’s not like it was being piloted!
When I queried it I was told it was their “process” and was required to process a claim. I suggested if no one was in the vehicle then logically ANY drivers licence would do. Apparently not.
After a few words…. and speaking to a Supervisor, they are now processing the claim without my DL Number.
I fully recognise that this sounds petty – but it’s yet another example of how our privacy gets invaded on a daily basis for absolutely NO justifiable reason.
