Its should be pretty obvious and undeniable with the two cars lined up. Good luck. This is what we are going to have a go at on Saturday. Hopefully it will all become clear and easy from then on. Cheers for the offer InsanitySauce, if it all goes wrong on Saturday I'll be in touch. A golf, not a skyline. Ta all Al

Am I right ? Not that I particulary like cats, just that you shouldn't be nasty to small animals otherwise I think you grow up to be a mass murderer or something.

Police are incompetant and are not even aware of ths in most cases, double check do your research on requiremtents if your car was not on a public road you would be extremely suprised to what people can get away with legally. I mean example had over 1.5k of damage to my car at the weekend by drunk teenage girls caught arrested and yep cautioned. Well FCCUK you government not even a charge on cctv witnesses the lot. Removes any faith in the system (oh sorry real tangent) I really hope you come to a good arrangement with your neighbours but do not roll over make sure they pay to repair it.

I see everything unfold try to stop it and get punched myself, but wait it get better. So i try and stop em and some considerate members of the public insist that if i touch the "girls" then they will jump in to help them. Obviously these people deem it appropriate for girls to assault people and damage property???? So i have to stand there in the middle of town let this happen be assaulted and call the Police. Who I must say in their credit took just a minute or so to arrive. Basically Police after hours of statements etc came and said. Well first offence caution. I said well i would like them charged (understandably i think) sorry not prepared for that. We will be cautioning them with various from assault, criminal damage to motor vehicle but all in all they get a caution!! Now i have to take to a civil claims court, as if i just have time to throw away nowadays. Justice is a joke, unless you actually interfere with children or try to blow up public transport no one gives a flying FCCUK. Anyway damage a smidge under £1500, so will just have to wait and see what i can claim form them. However this cannot really come at a worse time as i will be making a post to show my joy, but i have just bought my first coupe a LE and do not have alot of spare cash as you can imagine I only went out to get something to eat as well nearly 4 hours later i got home Vinci Grey LE Alfa 147 GTA 3.2 V6 BMW E92 M3 4.0 V8 Fiat Tipo Sedicivalvole 2.0 16v ABS

Anonymous Unregistered A	yep, meeting tomorrow. Did bump into her this afternoon. It was the first time she saw the car in the daylight and was shocked at how bad it was. I again put my account of events forward. She also admitted to having the stero in the car. I think they are coming round to the fact that it was their golf that hit my car. Hopefully it will be resolved tomorrow when we 'offer the cars up'. Later Al

He basically said to let the insurance companies sort it out. So I have his details and he doesn't have mine at the moment. Although he was still taking the view that if his wife says she didn't hit my car, he is believing her. i phoned my insurance company this morning and explained the situation and gave them his details. i was quite clear who was responsible and that there was no way I wanted this on my policy. I suppose it’s just a case of waiting for the insurance companies now. Fingers crossed it all goes smoothly!

I know of an instance where there was an accident which was clearly the fault of one party, but they were denying this, and there were no witnesses. To resolve the situation, a witness was 'produced' and contact details passed to the insurance company picture too large; max size allowed is 300 x 100 pixels, please resize 2000X 20VT+

Was thinking I could give her contact details at her parents address rather than the same address as myself to make it seem a bit more unbiased, however thinking about it, she is a named driver on my insurance! That doesn't make her very impartial! And no, they haven't apologised, they would need to concede to doing it first.
