Second one this week, I hope this isn't starting a trend.

 

If you have no insurance you will have to buy a new one.

If you have no phone insurance you might try your home insurance, most cover personal items up to a certain value. I'm sure if drivers see a mobile phone in the road they have an inbuilt tracking device to make sure both front and rear wheel totally trash the phone!

You've got a few options then.

 

- Accept defeat, sell the phone as spares on ebay and buy a new phone with the very little money you get
- Try to find a local shop that'll replace the screen for you (could be expensive)
- Try to fix it yourself! You can find the screens on ebay for between £20-35 but could be tricky if that's not your kind of thing!

 

Either way, best of luck slight_smile
