:2Mad Got hit from behind at a round about, 2nd time i\'ve been hit in as many months. :2Mad
Guy was nice enough but FFS! Rear bumper is screwed, lights for the rear number place literally fell out and something has come through the bumper from behind??? Its a sharp bit of plastic that has made a nice hole in the bumper, also go a lovely matt oblong where the paint split and the guy just rubbed it off, bit of paint flaked everywhere leaving the matt effect, lovely! Neck is giving a few twinges but nothing serious (yet) i\'m not one to claim money for nothing so unless it caused me problems i\'m gonna ignore it.
Remembered to take photos this time as well as the guys name address and number.
Gutted
Good news is that my diffuser does not seem to be damaged.
Claim! Claim! get yourself a free holiday out of it :Giggle!
Rough luck, though, dude. Maybe when they teach these idiots that they only give way at roundabouts and dont have to stop, that doesnt include times when the CAR IN FRONT HAS ALREADY STOPPED! It\'s not rocket science, is it!
Cheers dude, does make you wonder tho doesn\'t it
Sorry to hear that Rob, good luck getting it sorted.
twice in such a short space of time, gutted
Oh man that sucks, i feel your pain... nowt worse than driving sensible and getting ****ted by some doofus who doesnt know the difference between the brake and accelerator pedal. !!!!
thats poop mate! glad the diffuser is still ok tho lol! you think you will be able to get the rear 1/4 fixed through the same job?
steven
hoping too bud, just a bit concerned that there is something wrong with the back of the car as it was quite a hard shunt
i could pop up some time before it go\'s away to have a look a the impact zone\'s and so on to see if they are crushed?
steven
yeah if you like bud,
you just want to take a look really tho, dont you, lol.
yeah :P
you still going to be using it? if so will give you a lil piece of mind!
just let me know when mate!
sorry to here this mate, maybe they are looking at your car and not the road :p
lol, yeah, must have wanted a closer look! Car seems ok after driving it home, the number plate holder is screwed, it was all bent and i had to spend 1/2 hr with a hammer so the number plate could be easily seen. got all my carbon bits fitted now, just to cheer myself up a bit, looks sweet imo.
picks of the carbon mate :P
cant find my usb cable, been looking for days.
ahhh thats poo!
excuses excuses lol
what bits have you done?? you were going to start with the interior lock triangles weren\'t you??
yep, done them and the plastic covers for the inside of the door locks. Both fairly straight forward to do and just pull off.
Joking mate!!!! People claim for alot less than that!
Finally got the go ahead for fixing the car, booked in for the 5th Nov. Woo Hoo!
cool when you get it back wrap it up warm for winter
lol. Damn good advice bud
cool glad to hear it mate! you gettin the rear 1/4 fixed too or just the damage to the back bumper?
Great news rob,
Just the back bumper for now Steven, the insurers for the Yaris that hit my rear 1/4 still have not heared from the woman that hit me.
really :| you not get her mob no. or anything? bet she has gone on a long holiday lol
It should\'nt be the women who your insurance need to be getting in contact with Rob but her insurance company. Its irelevent whether she is answering her phone or not as a lot of people who hit someone else are reluctant to accept it so thats why your insurance firm deal with her insurance firm. Then they just send her a letter stating that she is at fault and has lost her ncb.
Thats it!! If her insurance want to fight it they can but very rarely do in instances when she neglects to tell her insurance about it anyway.
Get on to your insurance mate tell em to pull their finger out.
I\'m using a solicitor to deal with it Neil, they have contacted her insurers. But neither my solicitor or her insurers can get in contact with the woman. I\'ve had to fill in a form detailing what happend, when it happened, if I could recognise her again, I had to draw a diagram etc. It\'s being dealt with but it\'s going really slowly.
Sorry Rob but i still dont follow why her insurers are claiming they cannot get hold of her. What difference does it make if they cannot get hold of her? You are not claiming off her, your insurance/solicitor is claiming from her insurance so regardless whether she decides to answer their calls/corrospondance or not, is irrelevent.
If she doesnt respond SHE IS GUILTY
Your solicitor should know this??
Can you guess it aint my first time dealing with the insurance legal system:Grrr.
Obviously not having a go at you kidda just boils my **** when insurance people try and wangle their own profit by dragging **** out !!!!
LOL, I can tell this annoys you fella, it\'s getting dealt with but these things take time. I\'ve got 2 post-it notes that she wrote her name and address on so I can provide them if the worst happens so I\'m not stressing too much about it.
