Crashed My Baby On Sat....lol

[petemillis]

A mate of mine had to take drastic evasive action a couple of months back when a car cut him up really badly on dual carriageway (cautting across lanes to make an exit). Unfortunately my mate\'s evasive action mant that he rear ended another car. The driver that caused it didn\'t stop but two other witnesses to what occurred did. The other driver has now been caught through a description of the car and partial reg number. Although there\'s not a mark on his car he has admitted causing the accident and the insurance companies and old bill are noy pursuing his insurance company.  
Did anyone else stop for you Laeeq?

Thanks guys for all your advice and concerns.  Right now, im sitting back and counting on my losses and working out how im gonna fix her and also waiting from the police.

I think i forgot to tell you all that the main driver with fully com insurance was my older brother and i am a named driver on the insurance which only covers me for third party. (not sure if it true but have been told by a friend who is solicitor)    As i was the driver of the car (time of the accident)  it is very unlikely that the insurance will pay out.  This is the reason im not going through insurance.   There was no one injured nor i hit so they cant claim against me so im gonna cut down my losses and repair her myself and then insured fully on my name....lol.... cutting corners to get cheaper insurance has penalised me in big time... never ever gonna do this again.

Laeeq - your type of insurance is not the issue here though - the police should do all they can (within reason) to find the driver who caused the accident.

As you were covered 3rd party though, your insurance company isn\'t going ot be much help.  You need to get the Police to take this seriously.

I have been the named driver on many ppls insurance and in my experience this has meant that i am fully covered aswell. The only difference is that i did not acquire the NCB for the car.

Your brother/you should be able to make a claim.

as a named driver you should be fully comp. My wife was a named driver on the Scooby and we claimed after the accident. Speak to the insurer and tell them what happened, they should then go after the other driver (probably with the police\'s assistance as you can bet the police will take a request from an insurance company to investigate more seriously:rolleyes: )

Just got the camera a took these pics today.  It looks worse then what it was but still the ipmact was so hard that it has knocked the passinger side back about 2inches.  We are very lucky to be alive and thank God i didnt hit anyone else.

Just got back from Japan and saw your post... What can I say but at least you and your mate are okay. I know how much time and effort you\'ve put into your FD and it\'s really sad when something like this happens. At least you\'ve landed on your feet and your already swapping the bits to a new FD. Look forward to seeing your new monster!!

[grinder]

how did you manage to pick up another FD so quick ?

[Laeeq]

Got me contacts..     from Birmingham.   He has about 5 to be out as quick as possible all with blown up engines.  Mostly red but 2 black cars.  One was with running engine special edition one, very nice and second black was this one with blown engine.

Got it delevered this mornning and had a quick look (as i was getting late for work) under the hood in day light.   The rad is brand new as well as ABS system and other bits.  

As you can see the front end of my was badly damaged so needed a new rad and front pannels.

Cheers
