Hit and Run : Car

Well as #46 was crossing the finish line yesterday I noticed a neighbour(idiot) come arseing down the road,
as he tried to reverse he hit, with some force, my run around sat on the drive and then took off,
I had words later and until he saw the CCTV he was calling me a liar ( a Fing one at that)
So here is the footage, Ive had to contact insurance as its made a bit of a mess of the bumper,
Police next, as I need a collision number or something as he left without giving his details,

any input / comments, I know I will get shafted by the insurance,

Damage is dent, scrape, flat faced bumper, that doesnt line up, no other damage as I can see,
local body shop have said it needs a bumper.

I now have a Collision reference number from my local Constabulary, I shall be contacted by someone from my local plod in due course,

Also got a note from L200`s Wife, with the wrong date of accident and no name of driver on,
No telephone number or address,
Just Direct line and a ref number and their reg, no other information.

So now can add failure to provide details, tell police when they call.

big

for the CCTV and sharing the vid with us, what sort of set-up have you got?

bugeye_bob · World Chat Champion Joined: 05 Sep 2013 Karma :

Well the quote is in, £487 to replace a front bumper etc,

CCTV is a old Swann system, with that footage from a Swann PRO-750,
ok camera if you have some background lighting at night, as they dont come with IR led for nights,
I got a pair of these and 2 bullet style, the bullets come with built in IR, but on the rear which has the other PTZ camera I had to add a IR illuminator in a dome, cheap and easy but is literally night and day at night.

good work. It appears your neighbour failed the man up and own up test.

Keep us posted.

bit of a update, still no plod, 3rd party`s Insurance has admitted liability, quote sent and waiting for authorization for the work,

the L200 was MOT`d at 8.31 am Monday morning Im told by DVSA.

Please tell me your going to shop the Git for having such utter contempt to berate you for accusing him of damaging your vehicle whilst not being road legal Rolling Eyes

Sounds like he needs a good shafting...

Oh have I missed a step, he was reported, had to go to a "Police Station" I didn't know they still existed,

So they took all the details, I obviously asked about the MOT and how it may effect my claim, would he be classed as no insurance due to it,
they wouldn`t say if honest,
anyway all reported for failing to stop, I now have to wait for a local bobby to call, its been handed to section Sgt for my area, so I'm waiting for that contact,

She did view the CCTV and wonder why he wouldn't feel it,
but that is all she would say,
they gave me a Collision Reference Number which I had to send to the Insurance.

Is he also being charged with "Criminal inability to reverse a trailer"?

To be objective, given the (criminal) angle that the trailer reached relative to the car it is unlikely that much of the force of the bump was transmitted through to the car and thence to its driver. Throw in a loud stereo or a robust ongoing phone call, how is the poor driver meant to know what they have done?

Sorry for your immediate loss. Here's my deckchair: Pass the popcorn

Just a small update,I have rang 101 to ask about contact, I was told the officer is off for 4 days after tonight, so it may be a while until I hear back,
The third party`s Insurance has written to me, told me they want to deal with everything, and to tell my insurance I want nothing from them,

Not sure what to do now as I have already spoke to the Loss recovery company, who told me not to accept anything from my own under writer, this is all very confusing . . .

Being fair the choice of cars to run around in seems pretty good.

I'd give the 3rd party insurer one chance to sort everything out. It's in their interests to do so quickly.
