bitman Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 as pictures say more the words, M25 clockwise, 13:50, 21/2/14, around reference pole A 76.6 (between juct 10/11) black merc likes to change lane where i was driving and then acutally likes to keep driving. thanks to the guy in a company van who stoipped the merc and is my witness. not much damage as a scuff but like to check it out behind the bumper. my first accident on 32 years of motoring!
Mr B Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Looking at the scuff & still very good looking alignment of bumper I would suspect no further damage beside perhaps a few broken or popped clips, slightly twisted fixing holes for the bumper fixing. Has it scuffed the wheel arch slightly as well ! certainly annoying but luckily the prick got stopped & hopefully will suffer some heavier insurance premiums & you get your car back to as was condition at a top quality repair shop.
Jay762 Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Glad you came out of it ok - could have been worse
Gambit Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Glad nobody was hurt But think shouldn't be too bad but I guess until you take it off it's hard to tell :( And least you have a witness :) and 32 years of motoring and 1st accident least it wasn't your fault :) And you did well I had 2 crashes in car before I'd even got a licence :D
bitman Posted February 24, 2014 Author Posted February 24, 2014 after talking with the marc driver he agreed to pay for the damages so canceled the insurance claim. as one of the things i know about these insurance companies is that when you made a claim NOT EVEN YOUR FAULD they will make your premium higher! happened to my missus when she was rear ended while standing still for a red traffic light. 1
Gambit Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Like you touch wood (touches head ) I've never had to make a claim and hope that I never need too :)

We got stung that way as well - also a relative got stung with the windscreen replacement thing - doesn't affect your no claims 'my !Removed!!'
Pommy Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 He sounds like a class A prick trying to just drive off, lucky for man with the van really. At least he decided to pay for it. And no one was hurt. Thankfully I have never had to make a claim yet....
