Hi guys, not sure if this is the correct location for this post. Apologies if not but this seems to be the closest I can find to post?

Just looking for some advice. I'm a pretty vigilant driver but early this morning (1am-ish) I accidentally drove over the side of a traffic island that wasn't visible in the slightest due to how dark it was and the lack of markings. I do realise some might blame me for cutting the corner slightly but surely it has to be better marked than that? A crumbling, unmarked mess in the centre of a badly lit junction? I'm conflicted whether to push the issue or not. Had to leave the car pretty much in situ with the risk of getting some parking fines. Oh well....

Think I need to just suck it up? I'm a bit stuck and don't know if I can afford the repairs this may cost. Front axle really took a battering.

Here is a quick image to illustrate what I'm saying.

Here are the coordinates for GMaps - 55°51'38.1"N 4°25'29.2"W

Cheers in advance.

Just put in a claim to the council (if it's adopted road, if it's not whoever is the owner) yourself.

My son hit an exposed ironworks during roadworks that caused over £1K of damage, did it all myself, full recovery and paid within a month of the incident, just keep to the facts.
