for the third time in 9 months my van was hit by a women driver on all 3 occasions I wasn't in the van when hit, she was trying to reverse out of her drive passed a truck and then hit me, then tried to reverse into a neighbours drive, missed that and went on the grass.

what do I need to keep my van safe, maybe a safety barrier all round it, whilst parked?

They say these things happen in threes, so touch wood (rubbing my head) you've
had your run of bad luck.

you just need to stop being a jinx!

what I need to do is make sure I park that is no where a woman is parked.

twice I have been hit by women reversing and once when she took my wing mirror off , the only winner is my mate who does the repairs.

I got hit by a guy reversing out from his drive, a blind man wouldn't
have done it.
The worry is that this guy is a HGV lorry driver.

Sorry , I know it's not funny, but this reminds me of the TV series 'Britain's Worst Driver', which featured a truly appalling driver who crashed into anything that was in his way. He was a retired helicopter pilot!

Not joking Johnny I have never witnessed such bad driving and there was another car
sitting in his drive which had also been bashed a few times.
I actually stopped cleaning the property because I feared he would do the same again.
The thought of this guy in a HGV lorry sends shivers down my spine.

Sorry Sean, I was not trying to minimise the incident. I fully empathise with your situation, and agree that it is frightening that you are sharing the road with a man who makes his living driving an HGV but who can't cope with such a basic manoevre in a car.
