Taxi Driver Online

all that needs repaired is a little hole in the bumper and a new PH plate, i took his insurance and personal details so if i later found out any more serious damage was done i could get the car repaired or get a whole new one, i don't want to go through mine or his insurance as for what the damage is, is it worth it? i mean a little hole and a plate, not anythine too serious i think... there is to much politics in going through insurance

As this guy started of being an arsehole, do you actually think he's going to cough up for your repairs?

If you haven't informed your insurance in a timely manner, you might just find them telling you to take a hike.

not long back (before plating your new car) you were whining about a hole for a meter being visible.....

i know, i wanted a reliable source to do such a big job, but the car did get rear ended and it came out rather un scaved, why would i go to insurance for a 5 cm hole and a cracked plate? i'm not saying i'm not annoyed, i am that a 5 month old car has already been in an accident, just don't want to go through insurance

so who do you expect to pay for the other guys mistake? you? him? insurers?

and your not claiming anything at all?

If I hit you and a week later you said "im not going through my insurance, send me £400 to fix it and we will call it quits" id suspect you were not insured and keep my £400 till forced to cough up....

I am rather hesitant of going through insurance, if more damage had been done yes, but for what has been done i'd rather take it out my own pocket to fix rather than the hassle of going round bodyshops asking for quotes, it will get fixed soon as there is a little scrape on the passenger door, when i left it in the shop carpark on Wedensday, i came back and there was a scrape on the door and not another car near it!! so it goes in on the 8th of July for that scrape and while it is in there i will ask him to repair the bumper

This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ they usually like you to report it within 48 hours maximum.

I'd make the idiot pay out of his own pocket.

this may sound daft but if the other guy claims you reversed into him your gonna be stuffed, you havent reported it, he may come up with a witness (rentawitness £50) and he will claim like mad, your asking for trouble

it may cost less than your excess and technically not be worth claiming BUT, you will recoup everyting (and whiplash) via a claim against him - as you are due for legally.

what your doing is handing him a huge favour, hes hit you and now it never happened

i am thinking of phoning him and asking him for £40 in cash to get a new plate and leave it at that, if he refuses it will be going to insurance

well someones had a result, and it wasnt you

got a letter in from his insurance today, i phoned them and told them i have got some personal repairs getting done to the car at a reliable bodyshop on the 8th of july so if the car could get the bumper done too that would be fine, they said the car would have to go to a bodyshop of their choice and that if it did i told them i wanted to claim loss of earnings as if the car went to my bodyshop it would be in their anyways so i wouldn't bother about losing time off work. but they said the wouldn't give me any money for loss of work and i'm not claiming off my own insurance cause it goes sky high and they get the money off you anyways the next time you renew your policy. Think i'l just have to reach into my own pocket and pay for it that way, won't be too much anyways max £150 but that is pushing it

Jesus you are a one, give it to them if they want to take it, send them the bill for the plate as well.

one of their places as 15 mile from me and they aren't willing to compensate my losses with the car being off the road
