Cars kicked by camels and damaged by nut-wielding squirrels have been revealed among some of Britain's most bizarre insurance claims. The incidents show motorists should not only be worried by fellow drivers, but should watch out for mother nature, naked people, and sheer stupidity.
Among the claims revealed by insurance company www.elephant.co.uk, motorists have cited naked pedestrians jumping on top of their car, as well as decomposing carrots smeared across the road. One female driver managed to fill her tank with the wrong substance after mistaking shampoo for a container of petrol.
A Harrier jet was blamed for an incident when a motorist reported his windscreen melted when the aircraft crash landed nearby and burst into flames. Another windscreen was destroyed when by squirrel throwing a nut from a tree overhead.
Animal attacks contributed to a wide range of damage claims, with CCTV revealing footage of a rowdy camel passing by, kicking out, and damaging a car parked at a garden centre, while another vehicle was battered by a weary horse who decided to sit on the bonnet for a rest.
One car was damaged when a naked pedestrian jumped on the bonnet, leapt onto the roof, jumped up and down and then ran away, while in a separate incident a car was hit in the read when the driver behind was distracted by four women in mini-skirts walking along the pavement.
Perhaps the most unlikely culprit singled out in the claims was a pile of decomposing carrots which caused a driver to skid and lose control of his vehicle.
