Guy reversed into me?

[Speedy3]

Right a guy has reversed into me, he has offered to pay for repairs aslong as i get a quote... I have a quote for him, if he agrees to pay, then i dont need to take it further right?

but if he doesn't agree to pay... what is the process i need to go through next?

[Ste]

The idea of him paying for the repairs is that you don't take it further, him paying would be easiest as you'll have the money quickest and with least hassle.

If he doesn't want to pay then you speak to your insurance says that you want to claim from his insurance, you'll get your money, he'll then have a claim against him which he'll have to declare and he'll lose his NCB. So assuming it's not a massive repair bill, him just paying you would be in his best interests.

Did you get all his details?

Reg No, Address, telephone number, insurance details etc?

If he refuses to pay, give your insurance company a call and let them deal with it. It's what they're there for.

That happened to me about a year ago, its only just going to court in the next couple of weeks!

You should let your insurance know anyway, tell them your just reporting it and dont want them to do anything about it yet.

You did take a ton of photos , didn't you? , no matter what they say get photos this is why £2.99
disposible cameras are so incredibly useful they stand up better than digital photos too.

People change their minds and try to screw you , a disposible£2.99 camera may be the best investment
you'll ever make.

I bet hes going to say you went into the back of him .

if you were guilty ie following too close

A photo would show skid marks under his car from him braking hard and you going intothe back of him
absence of such on a non ABS car = him guilty,

Also higher up damage , it the front wheel hits , and the frame angles into the car body work

If you are not guilty of following too close

no skid marks from you or car

no upper back of car body damage.

you not being thrown forward.

Ride safe! , ride to the side of cars slightly , gives you escape room , that said Transit vans scare
the crap out of me somethings , reverse is so close to 1st gear that quite often the reverse lights will
come on for a moment + they can't see you directly behind.

Its all sorted, he was a nice gentleman mid 50's agreed to pay straight up.. took quote around he coughed up the £40 and its all forgotten now

Wish more people were as decent as himself.

Forty Pounds!!!!!!!!!!!

I bet he's relieved. I'd have given you an additional twenty just for your trouble...

What was the damage anyway?

[Mozzer]

A taxi driver reversed into my bike a couple of days ago, managed to, erm... snap the peg bit on my kickstand.

I had £200 out of him

He cracked the front mudguard above my wheel and scuffed it, he offered to replace whole unit which came to £36.67 from the local bike shop near me.

He seemed a genuine really decent bloke and was genuinely sorry for his mistake.

Accidents happen.

Yeah, again, this is Blackpool.. my dad drives a Taxi here... Just because they delcare they earn around ten grand a year doesn't change the fact the figure is closer to fifty.

Nice sentiment though.
