Congestion collisions – Bumping Bumper to bumper traffic

UK roads are known to be some of the most congested roads in the world, with major cities such as London and Birmingham ranking among the likes of New York, Tokyo Mexico City and Paris. In the UK capital drivers are delayed an average of 99 hours across the space of a 2023 according to recently released statistics by data management company Inrix. Across the entirety of the UK the average driver lost 61 hours to congestion proving that despite government and council’s introductions of the congestion charge and Clean Air Zones the ordinary commuter is still struggling in the busy streets of major cities.

It is also a proven fact that with a rise in congestion there is a corresponding rise in road accidents, while these may not be high-speed collisions that result in death or serious injury for the most part, it is still a worrying trend that should be a cause for concern for those in power. In 2015 The Guardian released statistics that said there had been a dramatic fall of 40% in road traffic accidents since the introduction of the congestion charge in London in 2003. However, they are still a daily occurrence that can cause anger, pain, and upset, not to mention the financial strain felt in getting a car repaired for seemingly minor damage.

Revive! specialise in this kind of slow speed impact repair, the cosmetic damage caused in these incidents can be more annoying than they are difficult to repair, due to the non-structural nature of the damage. This means the repairs are significantly more cost effective than a higher speed impact would be.

We have worked with the IMI to develop the cosmetic repair accreditation – the definitive standard for professional SMART repairers in the UK. A car bumper repair typically takes just a couple of hours and can be done at your home or workplace, minimising the impact on your day-to-day life. The cracked or damaged bumpers will be sanded, painted and polished using SMART repair techniques to contain the repair to as small an area as possible, while still retaining the original texture of your bumper and restore your bumper to its original condition.
