Saxos Crumple Easily

[Matteh]

oh shh, not everyone has parking sensors.

Your point being?

I'm with Elephant (Admiral group) if that makes any difference? I might give them another call, I've got you people on here saying that he makes the claim and then I have others around me saying that it's me who needs to make the claim!

He's claiming, not you, that means he contacts his insurer and instructs them to claim from yours. You do not pay anything out, this is what you pay your insurer for!

Oh do pipe down, he was parked on a double yellow line, it's hardly crime of the century. What if he wasn't parked but simply waiting in queued traffic lights?

I know you feel raw after nobody jumped and down and said THERE THERE after you drove into somebodies door but that doesn't mean its time to go on a pointless one man crusade.

Everything in the HC is not a specific offence. You'll make yourself look like a chump if you 'do all in my power to make sure the other party is punished for breaking several highway code regulations'. He parked with his lights on. You drove into him.

Pipe down? I really do hope you have a light accident where it isn't your fault, and it was directly a result of somebody breaking the highway code. Then you might understand. The highway code is there to provide safe driving instructions and prevent accidents from occuring. Those who do not abide by it should not be on the road, period. If you park on double yellows and someone drives in to you then you should be punished too. Obviously the guy who drove into you should pay for the damage, but YOU should at least get points for breaking the damn law. It's something I beleive and nothing anyone on here says is going to change that. In ANY car insurance claim if either party is breaking the highway code in the accident then they should be punished. I'm interested to know why you disagree?

Many of the rules in the Code are legal requirements, and if you disobey these rules you are committing a criminal offence. You may be fined, given penalty points on your licence or be disqualified from driving. In the most serious cases you may be sent to prison. Such rules are identified by the use of the words MUST / MUST NOT. In addition the rule includes an abbreviated reference to the legislation which creates the offence. Abbreviation explanation.

Although failure to comply with the other rules of the Code will not, it itself, cause a person to be prosecuted, The Highway Code may be used in evidence in any court proceedings under Traffic Acts to establish liability.

you where both breaking the highway code wherent you

he did a U e without looking and you where driving too close to stop , the car on the yellow lines in this case could have been anything , could have been a pedestrian and hed of still hit it because he didnt look , atleast hes owning upto his mistake

anyway that argument doest really need to spill out inot other threads does it




glad you got it sorted OP

technically all you have to do if your car isnt damaged or your third party is ring up and say "yes ive been in an accident with mr/mrs X, " and thats it think

depening on age i doubt your premium will go up much , should think it will just not go down. well unless your already at the cheapest of cheap
