Hit and run in car park (Car) Questions and Woes..

Glad they didn't twat the Grid V's, that would've been shite.

The front bumper is a bit of a pig to swap on the Mk1, you'll need an extended extension on a long extension to reach some of the (no doubt) rusty, rounded nuts. So good luck with that.

I'd report it to the insurance personally, you have all the proof you need. It shouldn't affect your NCD but it will probably slightly increase your premium. It's shite that it goes up even though you weren't at fault but that's how it works unfortunately.

I would definitely go directly through their insurance for what its worth.

And report for leaving the scene of an accident (using the claim ref from their insurance company).

I dont know about alerting your own insurance of anything, If the same happened to me, I probably wouldnt.

In my experience all my insurance premiums dropped significantly at 25 anyway, soI wouldnt worry about any minor increases due to this claim-not-really-a-claim being on the system.

I'd get their insurance details, dob them for failing to report and find their address/send a big bag of shit.

Thanks guys for the help so far!


For those saying to claim on insurance..


Hypothetical question time:


1. What if the driver isn't insured for some reason? Pain in the arse?


2. What if their assessor comes round, kicks some tyres, rights the car off as CAT C / whatever

Gives me 50p and a potato as they won't know the value and a CAT C car which would affect resale value in x years (Cant see me selling it)

Therefore leaving me screwed?

Cheers,
Tom

If the driver is not insured. MIB.

Insurance is valid regardless of MOT, it's required to get an MOT if you need to drive there. But that's his problem, not yours. I'd ring his insurance, the police, get that dealt with now.

Leave the rest up to karma.

Jesus, stop being such a fucking melt. Go by the book, tell the insurers to fuck off if they try to shaft you.

Use the reg number to find where the cunt is (if you can) and if you end up out of pocket make it your mission to cost him more. Glass, tyres, rinse and repeat until you feel the warm glow of righteous vengeance wreaked.

Or just bend over and suck it up, like most people do.

I wonder what would be required to reform British insurance to a state that wasn't quite so insulting for the average prole?

I mean really, if you look at this crap objectively, it is really quite disgusting.

The OP appears to be some model driving citizen, and yet all faults are his for having the temerity of paying through the nose to park in a multi-storey carpark.

Da'literal fuq?
