One of Barkers long standing clients was early for an appointment in Durban, so he decided to take a drive to nearby Umdloti. He made his way to a parking area he knew of that affords a wonderful view of the beach, thinking to while away the time whilst watching the waves.
Swerving into the empty parking lot, he slammed on brakes… except his foot was on the accelerator! His vehicle bounded forward, shot under the railing, down some shrubbery, over the beach sand and into the surf.
Much to our clients mortification, he understandably attracted much attention as he waded through the surf leaving his vehicle which was becoming more and more entrenched in the soft sand.
Moral Of The Story: Don’t underestimate the need for Comprehensive Insurance….even a slow cruise can lead you into unexpected waters!
