right as im off work today ive just been to pick my little lad up from school,finds a spec(after a good five minuates)sat there radio on low noticed another car had pulled half cars length behind me.
then i saw another car(pugoet 406) trying to pull into the space left by the car which had pulled up behind ,she pulls in on 45%angle,knowing dam well shes got no chance,she begins to reverse back out into the road/oncoming traffic,to the sound of a horn,she brakes,knowing she cant go nowhereshe decides to give it full lock and "hope for the best".i seen the headlights disapear under my back wiper and thought.......yep she hit me:mad: i turns and put my hand up to say stop,and said the words youve hit me,to my amzement she waves whilst smiling and drives off:mad: :mad: :mad: i got out the car by this time she was on her travels(i managed to read the number plate,and got the reg of the car).
got the pen of another women parked up over the road waiting for her kid,she actualy said "i cant belive she just hit you" so i goes to look at my car,
shes caught the bumper,two inch mark on the corner with a inch split,also the bumper is now more loose than the other side(being pretty stiff)as though she's possibly cracked summat behind mounting clip etc?
im just totaly baffled as to what to do.
1,do i just accept it,and get it fixed at my expense?
2,find out the owner and give her repair costs,bumper paint,labour etc
3,report it
:mad: :confused:
the bumper was in perfect condition before this happened! plus i have a witness

Report it to your insurance, with her Reg details they should be able to track her insurance company down and deal with them.
An I'm not surprised, Ive seen it all before and had similar things happen to me....IMO women should sit there test every 5yrs,yes i may be sexist but come on how many of us have seen women on the motorway using the mirror to apply make up FFS!

SOME women do that, yes, but if you check out any statistics they will say that men have more serious accidents than women, and that is why you have higher insurance premiums, so maybe it should be men that resit their test every 5 years?
Or perhaps we have less accidents because we can multitask, so therefore have the ability to drive and apply our make-up at the same time. You can't begrduge our natural superiority. lol

Lee the reason i get so irate about women drivers, is my sister is a **** driver and the misses sister cant part to save her life,every time i go round i find it hard to get my car on the drive due to her bad parking! and she said the reason she parks it funny is if i park on the drive before she finds it hard to judge where the edge of car is,as mines too big! WTF
GRRRR
Go through insurance as not your fault and report the stoopid woman for leaving the scene.
Be careful there - you could find yourself with no Nova very quickly there, it would take very little to write it off in an insurers eyes! I know of one that got written off because of a bent steering column and bust lock!!!
But I would have no thoughts about reporting her to the police, she obviously wasn't bothered with the fact she hit you!!

Oh I'll tell you why the stats show men have more crashes,it's cus they are taken from accidents on motorways, if you drive on a bust motorway (M42) and look around you 80% of the drivers are men!
Probably as the women are to scared to drive and apply make up on busy motorways like the M42! lol
No the reason women do it is there stupid! it's illegal FFS i wont answer my phone while driving, why it's made illegal and is a dangerous act! etc..
And for multi tasking WTF what do you call driving eh? how many thing do you actually do while driving? lol

will reporting this through insurance not affect my insurance,atm im also involved with a unresolved claim for being hit by some "women" who decided to just pull out and make a mess iof my front pass wing,im paying higher insurance becaquse liability is still an issue,
is it possible to gain her details through her reg plate without having to use police or insurance,(everyone deserves 1 chance)if she doesnt with is happening then the insurance can sort something out.
im not looking for whiplash etc just the cost of repairs?

Obviously her kids go to that school, so kidnap them and make sure she admits liability before releasing her kids. maybe next time she'l value the well being of a Nova over her children.

Again, you need to tuck up on your english. SOME women do it. SOME women are stupid.
I saw a car crash into a tree a couple of years ago. There was a women standing behind it, and if the tree hadn't been there she would have been killed. They had to cut him out of the car. Reason why? He was on his mobile. Now if I went around saying 'why do men always talk on their mobiles when driving, they need to resit their test every 5 years cos they are stupid!' I'm sure you might take offence too!

Inform the Police at the very least. Clucking off after an accident is a crime and she needs to be dealt with.
Reporting it to your insurance might put the premium up.
I think a HPI check brings up owners details.

is it possible to gain her details through her reg plate without having to use police or insurance,(everyone deserves 1 chance)...
if she gets away with it once, she will get away with it again. she might have done it 20 times before.
if it was a genuine accident the least she could have done was stop and say sorry. chances are you'd have let her off anyway seeing as there was so little damage. however the fact she does not care for your Nova proves she is an inconciderate witch with an ugly face who needs to be shown that you cant just be a bad driver and hit cars just for the crack.
is that how carefull she drives outside a SCHOOL?! what if it was a kid she reversed onto? no thought, no concideration, no care, no conscience.
i wont answer my phone while driving, why it's made illegal and is a dangerous act! etc..
Dangerous my ****. I spent the first 4 years driving as an engineer with a phone in my ear before it was made illegal.
They will ban passengers next because they are a distraction.
You're either a sh*te driver or you're not IMO, regardless of sex.
The real problem is that too many blokes think they're better drivers than they are, when women know when theyre useless and tend to just bounce off stuff at low speed. Unfortunately, thinking you're better creates more accidents that knowing your crap lol.

i know when mates have been knocked off there motorbikes and scooters it is normally women that do it on the whole but then again my brother was knocked of his bike by some 80 year old man so maybe women multitasking behind the wheel aint so good but in the kitchen brilliant
also on another point every one seems to be a rubbish driver near schools i went to my little sisters school play the other day and people were all double parked and one pikey prat was wheel spinning his golf up the school road

report it to the police mate i had it happen to me two years ago on xmas day i was behind this car on the main road all of a sudden the reverse lights came on smack he went into me. i got out had a look and he had broke a grille bracket but he did a runner so got his reg as he drove away rang the police and they resolved it straight away for me
a later found out he was doing a runner due to road rage someone was giving it to him and he needed to get away quick
when the insurance people came out the didnt write the car of they give me the money to repair it due to condition

Lee I'm not saying I'm an amazing driver by any means, I'm sure after the karting you think I'm ****! but on Monday i was asked to drive the Miss's mum's Clio home we were in Scun-thorp and i had to drive from there all the way to Stratford on Avon,and had never drove the car once before,it took me probably 15mins to get the feel of the car and i found it easy to drive, i know some people MEN or WOMEN my Dad included just cant do this sort of thing,and i find that a bit strange..

preferably on the motorway. less distractions.
deffo report it dude, and keep up updated.
and on the whole who is better/worse gender issue. i have had 4 accidents on motorbikes.
1 totally my own fault
2 MAN turned right with out checking mirrors
3 WOMEN pulled out on me in the wet, her quote "i just didnt see you dear" and she wore glasses, that angered me.
4. WOMEN turned left into me.
then i got a car
so from 4 accidents i spose it is 2 all, i think like someone already said, you eaither have it or you dont with driving.
and retest every 5 years. really bad idea. already a waiting list for tests, imagen how much longer that would be. what if your job is driving like a cabbie or lorry driver, and you failed. you would go insane to know you can drive perfectly well and some one has taken that away from you and made you jobless. stupid idea IMO leave it how it is. retake every 5 years or not people will still have accidents be it man or women.
retake every 5 years or not people will still have accidents be it man or women.
+100 for that!
The sooner the government realise you cant stop accidents the better as well!
I'd try and get it settled without the insurance tbh, inform the police and surely with her reg they can find out where she lives, but if you're already waiting for a claim (mine took 13 months) this is going to help.
I think she would rather pay a few quid now rather than knocking her ncb as well...

you really think she has any no claims bonus with that kind of driving lol
Report it bud as why should she get away with it, i recently had someone reverse into my drivers door on my old nova, it was spotted by one of our salesmen and luckily he had just been in for a valuation on his car so we had his details.
It ended up goint through his insurance and they did whats called a total loss settlement, basically they pay out current market value based on condition (i got £220) but as its not insured by the other parties insurers they have no powers to write your car off so you will not lose your car unless you claim off your own insurance!
Deffo report it bud aswell as she hit you and run, what would she have done if your kids were hiding from you and creeping low down past your car and she had crushed them, you wouldnt be umming and ahhing over repoting it then would you, very harsh comparison but you get what i mean i hope?

Depends, she nearly got it away with it this time. maybe she's just lucky.

17-12-08, 05:40 PM
right ive just got back from the police station(as its only 500 yards away from me),where i gave details as explained on the first page,they instantly told me that accident is now a crime because she caused hit and run,when asked the location on where she hit me street name etc i told them it was outside of school on charles st etc and they seemed more emphatic and said this could of been worse! and that a traffic officer will be visisting my house tommorow at between 8-9pm to access the damage?i didnt want to do this but in reality shes at fault and i dont fancy repairing the damage through my own wallet.
steve my claim for previous damage is still a liability after 12month 1 week rule 184/185 of the highway code states she is clearly in the wrong, after entering a roundabout not giving right away etc and ploughing into the side pass side wing of my car.
nice one for going to the pig station, hope something happens to her for it.

I've seen a blokoe having a shave on the way to work in the morning, he almost took me out the daft ****.
I think you should report it. The silly bint who crashed into me drove off and left me for dead. I know it's on a different scale but if it'd had been the other way round then I bet she'd have reported you.
*erm he has already reported it lynz* lol
Ohs, I did the usual- read the first couple of pages then got bored and whizzed to give my O.P. :p

SOME women do that, yes, but if you check out any statistics they will say that men have more serious accidents than women, and that is why you have higher insurance premiums, so maybe it should be men that resit their test every 5 years?l
From the mouth of two different insurance companies: men have LESS accidents; but when women crash they tend to be small car park dings such as this. When a bloke crashes he'll do a flaming cartwheel into a Bugatti dealership lol
Men are also more likely to be put under peer group pressure to drive faster etc, and tend to be more over-confident (which isn't always a bad thing - I've seen a woman panic on a roundabout and just pull out and stop in front of oncoming traffic)

Thats because to repair the damage through a proper bodyshop the labour and materials alone would be miles more then the car is worth so they simply payout the full value of the car and leave you to do as you wish, this option is always the cheapest on older cars, anim sure if he were to recieve £750 for his GTE he would be happy as it could easily be repaired for considerably less than that amount:thumb:

i wouldnt want the old girl to recieve this treatment,just pay me for my bumper repaired or a new(ish)one and leave it at that.

sickens me
i think you have done the right thing as she needs to learn and others, but a 3 year band is a bit harsh.
if she is a good and well driver ya know all paid up on the essentials i think they shoudl maybe fine her. but ban would be way to harsh.
maybe if she got her baps out they would let her of a fine also, we would need to see pics tho lol

she should have stopped!
my mrs was crashed into in a petrol station, the fella got out and was all appologetic, he eben offered to repair the car as he was a body repair man. gave her the card etc.
needless to say, the phones were all switched off and even with cctv footage at the petrol station. the police said it was too late to claim.

dont bother reporting it man, youll only loose no claims or make your insurance go up next year, or have to answer to some bullsh1t part of your insurance contract.
best bet i reck is to sort the car out yourself, without stressing too much at the fact that it wasnt your fault.
then find out where she lives, pinch one off on her windscreen, then knock on her door and say "thanks alot, youve cost me X amount of pounds, X amount of time & X amount of stress - how do you feel about it ??"
if she appologizes and pays it (unlikely) then u dont need to mention the present youve left for her on the screen.

If it's reported, as soon as it's been brought to her attention, you could arrange something 'out-of-court' so to speak. I don't think you'd have to continue through with an insurance claim if you said it had been resolved.
I agree with reporting it though, better that than going to her door with a temper, but as stated I'm sure she'd be reporting you if the situation was vice-versa.

id love to have it fully resprayed,got mint doors/wings bonnet etc in the shed waiting.just waiting for the repair costs claim to come with my claim,which can get these parts sprayed up and fitted.
well i had two motorcycle accidents and i moaned a little extra, but they will know your probs faking the whiplash if you try it, just always nice to have a bit of extra cash. But both claims took a while even thought i won both of them and they aditted it. But its the long process of filling out documents! good luck with it thought hope everything goes smoothly :thumb:[/quote]

Well i awoke this morning to find a letter telling me that i have a COURT date over the matter:(,the women is denying two to charges against her
1,driving without due care and attention
2leaving the scene of a crime without giving her details.
she is pleading NOT guilty on both accounts,and is stating that she was never in that street on the day of the accident,but in another street.!(but yet i was and i know her car coulour ,make,and registration plate:roll: )plus i have a witness who saw everything.
the one thing now baffeling me the most is that,ive "never" informed my insurance over it,as i thought this would have been delt with outside of the insurance but this woment seems to know better.
I suppose id now better inform my insurance of whats happened???
and what am i likely to hear from them so late on???

cheers dan.but what about my insurance,like i say they havent been informed atall,as i thought this would have been settled by now?????
well. when you go to court, make sure that you simply stick to the facts as presented. do not lose your temper. make sure the witness is going to show up, or at least have a statement prepared. do not make it personal at any cost. you will be fine.
a few years back, my missus was on the school run & was stationary outside a council office near the school waiting for an oncoming car to pass between some parked cars. this bloke came flying out of the council office carpark & smacked our car up the rear, jumped out & started laying into her about how she had reversed into him. she wrote her details out & gave them to him. later on he came round & bashed on our door & started on me about it. I simply said, it is in the hands of our insurance. he stormed off. the next day a woman approached the missus & offered to be a witness. so we gave the insurers a call. a few weeks later the man was beating down the door of the witness & demanding that she changed her story as she was obviously wrong. our insurers went mad at his insurers, and we got a new bumper & a letter of apology.

I had the misfortune to be a witness to a hilarious tigra accident, where she didn't hit another vehicle, but totalled it & was adamant that a lorry had hit her. she basically playstationed it into a tankslapper & then a barrier.....watching a car doing a 90degree left, followed by a 90 right at seventy to avoid a non-existant hazard was better than Harry hill's burp.
four years later, I was issued with an order to attend court over it. I explained that once again thet I would be backing up the lorry driver. they rang me at 4.55 the day before saying that the case had been settled......
I'd even got my suit cleaned.

ok ive been in court today over this matter,the women who hit me pleaded not guilty to;
1,driving without due care and attention
2,leaving the scene of a accident without giving details(hit and run)
i gave my statment she gave hers ,the judge gave a "guilty" verdict to the "driving without due care and attention"
and a NOT GUILTY to the "leaving the scene of a crime without giving details(hit and run)"
im a bit bemused at this as her as she literaly admitted she could have possibly hit my car but not felt the bump,this uis why she got away with it although the guilty verdict on the "driving without due care and attention she got a £60 fine, 3 penalty points, and her incapacity benifits dropped from £187 a fortnight to £100 and told to pay back £10 a fortnight.
now then the repairs for my bumper which is GTE rear bumper £90- paint to match £60 and labour costs £100 =£300 i was told i would not be awarded and that i would have to phone my insurance and get them to phone her insurance to claim this back!?!?!?!? not sure how this works???????
what a day!

sorry to add insult to injury, but i told you to contact them straight away........
it is a sobering lesson to all. as much as we hate ringing the insurance to notify, it is a legal requirement to do so...

Iv'e had a friend deal with 2 insurance claims none of them his fault, and after all the hassle and grief he got £200 for a writen off minty mint bog standard sr which was worth in excess of £1000 which didnt even cover his legal costs and also £200 for a standard merit which he just spent £300 getting it through the mot.
An EYE for an EYE is what i say.
I couldn't stand getting so ripped and not being able to do anything about it, it would drive me insane.

ive been hit by some idiotic clown who cant drive for sh!t and lied her way out of a hit and run offence,(but found guilty for driving without due care and attention) which has left me paying out my own pocket for repair bills to my car! i understand what mowgli has said to me but surley i can get my money back somehow without paying for someone to do so.
i have her insurance firm and reference No which i was given by the prosecuter after the trial(which i was told dont say nothing to no-one as i shouldnt be doing this!).
im wondering weather i should just forget the whole situation and get on with it.???
