Hi all,

Another thread about one of my cars being hit….

1st was the C250 full smacked in the back on a slip road,

Then the E63 getting the rear quarter hit, then a fence panel hitting it while parked.

Latest….640D parked while I took my daughter swimming. Came back to a note on the screen “sorry I reversed into your drivers door” with phone number

The door doesn’t line up with wing anymore and is slightly creased (the door hinge behind the out skin pressing through?)

What’s the best way to go about getting it sorted? She replied to my message, I now have her car details. Do I give her mine then get quotes which she sorts with her insurance?

The E63 accidents were paid in cash for repairs. Don’t want to do it wrong if through insurance



Edit: zoom in and you can see the door/wing gap difference

She never made it into, Show us your motors

Edit 2: bit better picture of damage, doesn’t look much but probably a pain to fix.

Fair play to her for stopping and leaving her details.

Due to the lack of “scrape” I would imagine most would have just done one in hope you didn’t notice long enough for you not to be able to track when or where it happened.

Yeah, I'm thinking there may have been a few people around. It was right outside a sport centre.

she replied earlier saying she's out til late tonight and she'll send me all her details tomorrow...


If she suddenly goes radio silent, can I pursue anything with just her number plate and 1st name/phone number?
 
I keep getting excuses for her not sending her insurance details across. What should I do if I hear nothing by the EOD?


and now another excuse! details by 6:30 this evening....


I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt for now....

Did she come clean?

If she doesn't, it might be worth an empty threat about reporting her to the police. Some yadda yadda about CCTV footage etc.

If she wanted to completely get away with it, she'd have not bothered leaving a note, or even just writing something like "lol I hit your car" to appease nearby witnesses.

Her insurance sent a PDF letter saying they accept all responsibility, fair play

I'll have to check at the Sport centre next week to see if she's there again. Would be funny if it's a parent from my Daughter's swimming lesson
 
Repair guy came out for a look at the car yesterday. Turns out the wing took a hit too.


He’s going to strip the area back to the metal and weld on some bits, then pull the dents out.

Finally got the 640 fixed. Was with the body shop for 2 weeks. It had a whole new drivers door in the end, seems crazy for such a small amount of damage.

There was a week delay as the drivers door lock didn’t work on rebuild, so they had to order new bits from Germany.


Anyone wanna take a guess at how long til I get crashed into again?

I had an accident on the 14th Dec and I've still not even got an appointment to get it into their garage and so far the only way anyone has seen the damage is through pictures I've submitted, so God knows what they might find under the bodywork when it finally gets looked at in person.

ah jeez!! nightmare! My car was hit around the same time. I bought my Toyota Alphard a week later and the insurance was already affected by the accident (someone hit my car while I was away from it). Madness

Hope you get sorted soon
 
Oh my god!!! It’s happened again!

Driving the Alphard down the m42, traffic comes to a stop. I look in the mirror and see the guy behind looking over his shoulder to try and change lane, goes straight into the back of me!

I don’t know how I keep being in the wrong place at the wrong time so much! 5 non fault accidents in the last 3 years
 
It gets weirder....


The guy who hit me last month has put in a claim that I reversed into him on the M42! :O

Luckily my Brother videoed our conversation when we got out of our cars and he says "there's no damage, I barely hit you" & "take £100 and forget it" :D

Hopefully there's a insurance fraud claim coming his way soon, I've just sent the video to his insurers
 
Yeah, the lady on the phone was saying if there's no firm evidence then it'd go 50:50.

It's madness thoug, who would reverse on the M42 or roll back? My Alphard is auto, it doesn't roll back! :D

Just looking at Dashcams now! How well do Rear cameras work with tinted windows?
