Roll up, roll up, who is at fault poll here!

Just been to my local cop shop and what a bloody farce. 2 counters open but only 1 serving. Everybody is arguing about where they are in the queue, some ******** then tries to jump the queue, arguement ensues but what do the coppers do, nothing, they just sit there and watch the live entertainment.

Eventually got served around 45 minutes later to be told I needed to fill in a form but am not allowed to do it there and then, on the plus side I've been told that the station is open 24 hours so I can come back and experience late night life in the cop shop.

What a complete joke.

That sucks that it took 45 minutes and then to having nothing to show for it. I hope you have better luck next time!

Just got back from the cop and this time I'm told why am I even reporting the accident, there's no need as I have all the other parties details. Told them that as I've now wasted more time I wanted the report to be filed so they accepted it but they wouldn't give me an incident number.

So I just left.

Rozzers will not do a thing, unless there is an injury.

without witnesses your best and almost certain result will be 50/50.

sorry chap but we/I did advise you of the probable outcome

That just plain sucks, if this is the way of the future then we might as well have insurance which doesn't attribute any blame and simply repairs the insured persons cars, the other parties insurance would repair their car.

I still don't see why people do this, even if it goes 50/50 it still affects their insurance to the same extent as it would have done if they had taken the blame, wouldn't it?

The wifes car has been dead unlucky, over 5 years ago it was involved in a hit and run whilst parked outside my house, the runaway driver was never traced so that affected my premiums for quite a few years and now this. It's also got various dents and dings from her bloody school, if it's not the students trying to write their name on it with a stone it's other teachers/parents who seem to want to dent it. Think I might well get rid of it after it comes back from the body shop.

Well the adventure has started, insurance company has just called to say surprise, surprise the other parties statement re the accident is completely different to the wifes. My insurance company have no exact details as of yet so will have to wait to see what **** and bull the other driver has come up with.

Does make my blood boil. Think I'm going to sell our cars, replace them with £100 bangers, 3rd party them and do some severe braking on some choice roundabouts. Anybody here want to be a passenger?
