Late last night I heard an almighty bang outside my property, and when I went out to investigate I found a car embedded in the skip placed on the road outside. When the driver got out to inspect the damage, I noticed it was an Uber. I didn’t see it, he said in almost English. He got in and drove off in his Wolverhampton plated car. Phoned wolves licensing today and gave them the details.
The skip does have a street permit. There were reflective cones around it, and a flashing led light attached. I can only think the skip didn’t show on his sat nav. Wuckfit.

skip I presume painted yellow which is one of the best colours for visibilty. Correctly marked etc. :-k

does the skip hire company know their skip was damaged by an uber ? :-"

Many years ago the same thing (not an UBER) happened outside my house when I lived in Nottingham. I had never heard anything like it before. How the driver was unhurt I will never know. The car was a write off.

Uber allows anything that Wolverhampton allows.

Which is basically any old sh**.
