Chr15j 59 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Right so... Wife reversing out of space, more than 1/2 way across road in car park and another car reverses into her She stops dead, other car pulls forward again He blames her, she says was him He is intimidating She says calm down and calls me in another shop, and days will also call police so they can sort it I turn up, he's an idiot, clearly in wrong looking at where cars are I tell him that He gets grumpy I say fine I'll call police they can sort it He says forget it and drives off quickly Didn't give his details I'm thinking report eejit to police for leaving scene if accident ad screwing his insurance for wife's whiplash, she has a stuff neck now, daughter (5) who was in car a bit upset too and screaming 18 month old just generally grumpy about it Any thoughts Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TOMO 26,697 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Get police involved then,,,and get on the case with your insurance,,,I bet though if he's fecked off,,,the car is not insured ,,,or he isn't on the insurance 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chr15j 59 Posted September 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Already called plod, reporting in station tomorrow His car was quite new and expensive so it's unusual No aspersions to be cast but he sounded Eastern European which then does make me worry a little more about his insurance status Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oxo 459 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 If you were both reversing I would say both to blame, likely go knock for knock on the insurance 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chr15j 59 Posted September 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) Wife had stopped when noticed him still reversing she was stationery, not sure how can be knock for knock Plus he buggered off so auto in wrong by all accounts Edited September 16, 2014 by Chr15j Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fireman 10,993 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Most car parks are private land so insurance don't count,same as garage forcourts and had a prang on one once where the other owner was offered cash but he was being a dick about it and old bill etc and in the end the insurance company told his to feck off due to it being on private land.

Chr15j 59 Posted September 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Interesting, last time I came across this someone reversed into my jag (I was shopping at time) and buggered off but a nice person took reg and I got the details. Police did them for leaving scene (and they were fined by mag court) and their ins paid out for damage too. That was in a multi story car park Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neil82 1,080 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 no matter how this goes it will still be regarded as a claim and your no-claims is stuffed, if the damage to your car can be put right cheaply then do it your self, when you take into account the NCD and the increased premiums until you get it back then anything upto probably a grand nowadays is better off putting down to experience and paying out of your own pocket, if the other guy is seriously in the wrong and you can prove it, fix you car and claim from him through the small claims court, that way you might get a payout without it appearing on your insurance as a claim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
