Thank you Mr uninsured, un-taxed DRUNK driver

[NarChaDBaueR]

argh!! hope you catch him.

 

[Chopper]

if the old owner did not hand in the change of ownership form, isn't it still their responsibility?

yes im pretty sure that is the case, if the car is legally in their name ie the documents at the dvla then im sure you claim them for the damage, either that or they have to dob in the person who they sold it to, i think you should be ok, but i reckon someone is going to be prosecuted for that one...

 

[Sp00n]

I couldn't claim from the previous owner, i wouldn't be able to deal with the guilt of bringing someone in who had nothing to do with it. Mind you i suppose they should have made sure the V5 was handed in. I dunno what to do

 

[Dutch Guy]

Overhere in Holland there is a 'fund' all insurance compies put money into where you can claim just this kind of damage where you have no control over, is that in the UK as well?

Just do it.
Somebody who can't be bothered to do the paperwork properly probably wouldnt hesitate to give up the new owners details anyway.

Previous owners responsibility to send the log book away, so its their fault you dont know who the guy is (the way i see it anyway..)

 

[L0rdMike]

Why should you pay for someone elses mistake? If you can get it fixed and screw someone else over go for it.

Your golf is the same colour as ours - is it a driver? Ours is on 130K and still going.

Hope you sort it out.

Retards.

Months of no claims bonus wasted. :/

 

[BigglesPiP]

Where? Short of having friends in a cop shop i'v wondered how else to get a name and address of a vehicles owner.

After introducing the data protection act, the government are cheerfully selling information from the DVLA database, and they don't seem to be too fussy who they sell to
