Thread: Just Banged Head Again - Anyone Else

Stop parking half up a kerb!!!
(It's illegal anyway)

And yes, I've knocked my self half silly!

Most people will only do these sort of things once and they have learnt their lesson - happened now twice - hmmmm Darwin Award candidate??

I just about had to have a cry this morning.

Bloody hurts - I am 6'2" so probably perfect height helps also.

I have tried several times to recreate what has occurred to you with no avail.
Must be VIN specific???

I'll do a fair swap My lifted D2, no issues with 6'2" drivers banging heads. While with my 5'6" noggin should safely navigate any potential OSH issues with your D3/4. Problem solved.

I do that in my defender occasionally, but the worst 'head banging vehicle' incident I've had was when a few months back got out of my lancer (on a slope as well) and stood up into the frame of the actual door at the top of the window. And the bastard drew blood! Made a good headache as well.

Not on the side doors, but the tailgate shape caught me unawares one day. Facing into vehicle, grabbed the shorter part with left hand and bought tailgate down on my head...no beers involved.

No ............... But will probably do it tomorrow now

No doors have got me, but the tailgate has. The D3 was right down on it's bum, and somehow I managed to forget to duck underneath the open tailgate. I'm not blessed with much height, but what height I have was just enough to connect my forehead with the edge of the tailgate.
