oh S*it

well as you no ive just baught ians old supra!

had the beauty 8 days went for a ride up to guisbrough in her yesterday afternoon was cruisin along down the a172 wen some idiot in a pug decided to pull out 150ft infront of me.

obviously there was nothin i could do to stop but by the time i hit him he had the car staright on the road!

my bonnet and front bumper need replacing my left front wheel is facin a different way to the rest of them and the impact has broken my steerin wheel lock so the bloody keys are stuck in the ignition!

to top it all of i get the impression that the shit bag mite try and claim it was my fault! [sHOCK][/sHOCK]

infact i no he is hes only covered for 3 rd party so his car wont be covered and the amount it'll cost him to repair his he mite as well get a new car

any advise or help etc is really gratefully recieved

thank u xx

edited to put in full stop as it was pissin rob off

Hey sorry to hear about the crash. Although as silly as it seems the insurance company will probably put it against you as you drove into the back of him - unfair but thats usually how it goes.

Its like driving behind someone if they brake hard and you go into the back of them it would be your fault even though they was the person braking.

again sorry to hear bout it

Sorry to hear this, did you take any photo's etc. You should write up a detailed report, saying what happend etc. And stating that it was 3rd party fault.

Did he claim it was his fault??

Give accident exchange a call and see if they will help you!

Normally it would be classed as your fault or i think thats the way it goes with rear enders.

Its shit i know coz there are some right idiots on the road at the mo for some reason

cr@p!

Hope its sorted.

Any witnesses?

Argh sorry to hear this Laura

Were there any witnesses? Fingers crossed that all the insurance nonsense is sorted in your favour and the car is back asap.

Plenty of people here to help out with the sourcing of bits etc....

sorry to hear this

quick note, make sure you are in park otherwise you can't get the keys out

Normally it would be classed as your fault or i think thats the way it goes with rear enders.

That's not strictly true, if someone pulls out on you or pulls in front without giving you adequate braking distance it's obviously there fault, at the end of the day if the other party causes the crash then it's their fault. The tricky bit is proving that they caused it.

there was no where near enough distance to brake hun!! i was doin 60mph he gave me 150ft to brake to 5 mph !

it was completely his fault! and alhough i no i hit his rear end i would like to say i wish i had hit him side on although im pretty sure that would caused injury!

he admited fault to me there was no witnesses and police didnt come as there was no one injured! although im in pain now

so its kinda myword against his although any gd assesor will be able to c that i hit him from stationary and there was no parkin in the area so its obvisous that hes pulled out in front of me i had no idea he was there so there was nothin i could do!

however..... if he tries to blame me!! he has informed me on the day of the crash that he needed his car for work as he was a delivery driver and also said this is the secind crash in a month thats been my fault then today he told me that he only had 3 rd party fire and theft!!! now am i wrong in thinkin that that only covers social and domestic use if hes been usin it for work he acctually delivers in his car then is this not invalid???

oh and the cars defo in park lol

im not that blonde

the impact apperently snapped the mechanical steerin lock thus trappin in the keys or so im told

You can get 3PF&T with business use as far as I'm aware but if you are tight enough to go for reduced cover would you then want the extra expense for something they are unlikely to every hold against you? Worth mentioning to your insurers anyway, it's all ammo.

thanks for all the comments dudes and dudettes

will keep ya'll informed after ive spoken to insurance tomoro

then will be needin parts etc lol

My mate had a situation like this but it turned out to be the other persons fault because they had pulled out on him

So same as you really just make sure all involved know that he pulled out in front of you and you might be alright

you never said how fast you were going?

edit, yes you did lol sorry!

Oh man.

At least you're ok though.

What was the speed limit?

now am i wrong in thinkin that that only covers social and domestic use if hes been usin it for work he acctually delivers in his car then is this not invalid???

Doubtful if he would be working on a weekend but you never know. Good luck.

Not stating the obvious guys but one of the main problems is that Nottschick hit him and as we know, the law/insurance people will scrutinise her story first.

Sorry to hear this....just out of interest what was the speed limit

Feel for ya, but you will get sorted out

Braking distance from 60mph is 240 feet. Make sure you put the face he admitted it in your report. Also if you can state where on the road you were (thus showing he didn't leave enough time to pull out) that might help. Pics and things!

No mention of witnesses at al... anyone stop?

m.

Any pictures of the damage yet? Would be useful to see so people can start finding parts to help you repair it

you might have a job convincing insurers if theres no witnesses nottschick, insurers tend to keep things simple as investigation is often more expensive than paying out.

you need to badger them and harass them into action, it worked for me.

what were you doing up in guisborough? - i used to live there!
