I was sitting stationary about to park when i see a guy reversing at about 25 - 30mph.. i see he’s heading for me so i hold my horn on , he doesn’t stop he was a good 20 seconds away his car scrapes along my bumper and front wing.

my ms paint of what happened.

No witnesses stopped to give a statement so its his word against mine. The Police turned round the corner just after it happened so i have a producer as well now.

The police woman thinks its 50/50 fault , as there are no witnesses.

The damage to my car is £400 wing and bumper need resprayed. Obviously not worth going through insurance at my end as that is less than my excess.

On his car the damage looked similar but it was an old R plate car that looked as if it was going to auction.

He was loading the cars onto a transporter.

I hope it doesn’t go through insurance.
 
I know i was sitting with my horn on for a good while i really couldnt believe it.

The police officer was far far from helpful. Before even said what happened she came out with , with no witnesses it will be your word against his.

I was about to park.

did the collision happen on his side of the road?

He was reversing down the side of the dealerships side of the road. He was going round a park car when he hit me.


Do i have to report this to the insurers if we are dealing with it privatly?
 
He didnt admit fault he said.. (He was pulling off to go and i didnt have time to stop.) Obviously a lie but its his word against mine is it not
?
 
The matter has been resolved.

The guy who did it worked for an independant company who i think where a small outfit.

I agreed with his boss to pay half the cost of repair as there where no witness's and if it went to insurance we would both lose out.

I have the cheque in my hand and the car he was driving has been sold at auction , so no come back from them so not as bad as it could have been.
 
Just my car.

The car he had has been sold , so no claim will be made.


Its no big deal as i have found a guy who will do the repair for half the cost. :cool:
