View Full Version : I don't understand

Right, I know nothing about car accidents and what you're supposed to do etc...
Anyways, when we were in town on Saturday morning we touched another car with our bumper, result was a wee scrape out of the paintwork on the either car and a scuff mark on our bumper. Changed details and insurance details but agreed we would probably settle this without the insurance as the cost would be less than the excess.
Now there's a message from a solicitor on my answer machine asking us to get in touch?
Why? :unsure:

the person who you had an accident with has probably changed his mind and it depends who hit who first if you hit him he will claim more of you as it usually doesn't affect his no claims
Their life is so uneventful, hence call in the troops.

skweeky, look its simple, people are jealous, they want what you have.
since your insanely famous hollywood celebrity with style, it is obvious that these lowlifes try to cash in on your hard work.

agreed mulder has better tits
But when you hit, please describe the event, was there any blood, screaming, was it in any way sexual in a lawsuit type of way?

naw, we were waiting to turn right, there was a car in the middle of the road and we inched forward to see if anything was coming when this other guy came from the left and cut in our lane to squeeze between the gap
all a bit weird, as there was virtually no damage to either of the cars

If there were no witnesses and not much damage it will almost certainly be a knock for knock and each will claim off their own insurance or pay for the work themselves to preserve their no claims if it is not protected. It may be that the old codger has just found how much it costs to get a colour coded bumper fixed and has thought sod that and has gone to the insurance company who will immediately try to pass the buck.
Did you alert your insurance company to forewarn them of a possible claim even if you intend to fix your car yourselves?

OMGD!
The tension at the right turn was intense,
we did not know what to do!
It was horrendous.
I will never forget it.
Suddenly,
as in like gta3 a car turned up out of know where,
can you fucking believe it,
in the middle of the road.
can you fucking believe it,
in the middle of the road.
can you fucking believe it,
in the middle of the road.
can you fucking believe it,
in the middle of the road.
I felt alone,
remembered my grandmother baking a car,
while listening to overly grammatic music volume 1.4.
It was intense,
i almost orgasmed
as he
inched
slowly inside
the
street,
the view, oh the view was glorious,
almost too intimate,
To be continued......

Yeah, we phoned them on Monday morning and let them know, G made it clear though that he wasn't accepting liability for it. Good thing we did phone them now!
@ BO : I wasn't driving :angry:

I know it's probably a bit late, but what can be quite handy is to take a couple of photos of any damage on both cars, with a camera-phone or something. :(
It sounds like the other guy is trying to pull a fast one. People are cunts :angry:

He can go right ahead
The guy gave us a bit of paper with his address on it. Funnily enough it also has the details for an appointment to evaluate his mental state with a psychiatrist on it :huh:

Its not really proof he's insane unfortunately. If the doctor thinks he is insane,then its proof.

Hehe, just found out it was the sollicitor representing us that was calling to see if we wanted to raise a claim against him as the insurance decided it was his fault :lol:

Was he unfeasibly harsh about the scratch on his car?
If not then it was unlikely to be JP
