Can I ask off topic what camera you are using to record this? I need one that has this level of quality.

I simply said you cant possibly know for sure, so there's no point getting the pitchforks out, rather just deal with it in a calm rational manner. I couldn't care less how many times someone posts "he would have felt it", it's nonsense...you dont know for sure, so there's no point acting as if you did.

So what's your point? Of course you can't prove a negative, but whether he felt it or noticed what he'd done (he did BTW, I'm as certain of that as it's humanly possibly to be) is totally irrelevant. The point is he was clearly being careless hitting the car in the first place, and didn't look where he was going. Whether he 'felt' it is about as relevant as what colour socks he was wearing, and has no bearing on his guilt!

He's explained his point several times, it's not difficult. Merely people shouldn't assume malicious intent where simple incompetence may be the cause, as such don't go off all guns blazing at insurance companies and police when it may have been a simple mistake, however unlikely.

It was not originally stated in the first post of this thread that this was a malicious act... iaind just jumped on that straightaway, almost leaping to the guys defence, pathetic. Nothing in the video suggests malicious intent, just pure and utter disregard for someone else's property, and appalling driving. There should be NO response to this video other than total and complete admonition. Anyone offering ANY kind of defence or excuse to this guy is either one of his mates or the driver himself.

I think your assuming a bit much from some medium quality images... sure they are a bit damning but far from conclusive evidence.

You caught me, it was me in the van. I just really dislike golfs, so I bought a van and drive it around, scuffing bumpers wherever possible.


The only pathetic people here are the ones getting their knickers in a twist about it, the point I was trying to make has been explained over and over again by me and others. What's the point in getting so worked up about something so minor? It's a scuff on a bumper for gods sake. I do wonder how some people would react if something serious happened to them. My post, that so many people are crying about, was just to point him in the right direction to get it resolved with the minimum fuss. I mean sure, you can get yourself all worked up about how it was malicious and how incompetent the van driver was... But what good is that going to do? Or you could just deal with it, accept that mistakes happen, **** happens and accept that there's more important things than some paint on a VW.

If you don't understand then that's fine, the Internet is a complicated place for some people, but do try to keep calm or you'll give yourself a hernia

Uh? It's from a video, clear as day. What on earth are you talking about? It's conclusive evidence of bad driving and fault in causing damage. That's all it needs to be, and any insurance company would not even try to argue that. Anything else is speculation, but it makes no difference whether he meant to do it or not (he probably didn't, although he apparently didn't care that he did), or where he looked after the fact. If he had stopped and put a note on the windscreen, it would have simply made him a bad driver with a conscience and a shred of decency, but no less of a bad driver at fault for causing damage to the car.
 
I've looked at the pixels and the van is clearly Photoshopped over the true culprit which is either a Bentley on a test drive with the driver distracted by taking pictures of the footwell, or a Renault Clio on finance losing control whilst trying to escape repossession. What should concern us is the wheel alignment of OP's car.
