This article features some of the funniest allegedly true claims submitted to Motor Insurance companies.

Choosing which one to start is difficult and I have no idea whether or not they succeeded in receiving a payout or whether the insurance company just filed it under weird.

I quote:

"Windscreen broken. Cause unknown. Probably Voodoo." 

"I saw a slow moving, sad faced old gentleman as he bounced off the roof of my car."

"I bumped into a lamp-post which was obscured by human beings."

"The accident was caused by me waving to the man I hit last week."

The motor insurance claims continue to include animals:

"I started to turn and it was at this point I noticed a camel and an elephant tethered at the verge. This distraction caused me to lose concentration and hit a bollard."

"I knew the dog was possessive about the car but I would not have asked her to drive it if I had thought there was any risk."

"I was thrown from the car as it left the road. I was later found in a ditch by some stray cows."

Then ofcourse there is are the passengers who undoubted contributed to the accident:

"I pulled away from the side of the road, glanced at my mother-in-law and headed over the embankment."

"A truck backed through my windshield into my wife's face"

Then there is the plain stupid:

"Going to work at 7am this morning I drove out of my drive straight into a bus. The bus was 5 minutes early."

"The accident happened because I had one eye on the lorry in front, one eye on the pedestrian and the other on the car behind."

Q: Could either driver have done anything to avoid the accident? A: Travelled by bus?

"I didn't think the speed limit applied after midnight"

"First car stopped suddenly, second car hit first car and a haggis ran into the rear of second car."

"The other car collided with mine without giving warning of its intention."

"I collided with a stationary truck coming the other way"

"I thought my window was down, but I found it was up when I put my head through it."

"My car was legally parked as it backed into another vehicle."

"The telephone pole was approaching. I was attempting to swerve out of the way when I struck the front end."

"I was backing my car out of the driveway in the usual manner, when it was struck by the other car in the same place it had been struck several times before."

"The accident occurred when I was attempting to bring my car out of a skid by steering it into the other vehicle."

"The indirect cause of the accident was a little guy in a small car with a big mouth."

We could not miss out on the best category of motor insurance claims, the pedestrian involvement:

"The car in front hit the pedestrian but he got up so I hit him again"

"A pedestrian hit me and went under my car"

"The guy was all over the road. I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him."

"To avoid hitting the bumper of the car in front I struck a pedestrian."

"I was sure the old fellow would never make it to the other side of the road when I struck him."

"The pedestrian had no idea which way to run as I ran over him."

"The pedestrian ran for the pavement, but I got him."

"I saw her look at me twice. She appeared to be making slow progress when we met on impact."

"I bumped into a lamp-post which was obscured by human beings."

"I knocked over a man; he admitted it was his fault for he had been knocked down before."

Finally just when you thought you were safe, plants appear from no where and cause mayhem:

"The gentleman behind me struck me on the backside. He then went to rest in a bush with just his rear end showing. "

"I had been shopping for plants all day and was on my way home. As I reached an intersection a hedge sprang up obscuring my vision and I did not see the other car."

"Coming home I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I don't have."
