[dinkus 10]

Sorry to see this mate, could happen to anyone. Hope you get a mint front end for christmas :!:

KADVR6, gutted for you..... especially as you were only talking about new boots for it only last week :-( I hope you get a good payout or a good repair. Brentacre have always been good with claims in the past with me, they should see you right.

 

as i understand it, if you rear-end someone its ALWAYS your fault in the eyes of the law and the insurance companies, reguardless of curcumstance and logic!

 

That law is being relaxed. I'm sure there was a case that went to court a few years ago regarding a driver getting p1ssed off with a tailgater and slamming his brakes on, causing a prang. The bloke that slammed his brakes on got prosecuted, not the tailgater. I agree with this change of law. Some people do just brake for no damn reason at all. It's not possible to maintain the 'safe' distance these days in urban areas anyway, far too crowded.

Anyway, if there were witnesses that saw said plum lock up, it'll go in your favour I reckon. And people that lock up are more of a hinderance than a help to the emergency services. I'm not wrecking my alloys driving up kerbs for no one, so if there's no where to move over to, I speed up!

totally agree kev, that law is one of the daftest things I've heard, I didnt know they were changing it.

 

if there's no where to move over to, I speed up!

 

I didnt realise it was an offence to keep up with an emergency vehicle, obviously if its parting the traffic like Moses and the red sea, you cant dive into the gap after him, but on an empty road, if you keep up with one you can be prosecuted! Found that out when nosky had his funny turn and I 'kept up' with the ambulance in his skyline ;)

the worst offence for slamming on must be when people do it to rubber kneck an accident on the other side of the road grrrrrrrrr :mad:

I've over-taken an ambulance on the motorway, with his full-blues on.

Does that count? ;)

[dinkus 10]

I've followed a police car that was scithing it's way through traffic at 80 one day. Which was quite good fun :)

[bristolbaron 10]

Its always a winner when blues behind you mean you can bump a red light!

[Riclad 0]

Hey dude,

 

I see you car parked next to mine every day . . . . . and now mine feels lonely. Hope you get it sorted either way, but no doubt you'll be getting another one soon!

 

See ya Monday!

[KADVR6 0]

well the s**t hasnt stopped. had the NIG insurance on the phone today, the car is a right off, :( and all they want to offer is £1700, due to it not having FSH, and because there is a small parking dent in the rear panel. as you can guess i told him where to shove that offer, got on to the phone to john at brentacres, gonna send him some pics and he told me to leave it with him. he said i should get about £3000 for it?? so heres the moment when i find out how good brentacres are. :(

[KADVR6 0]

oh well its taken me a long 18 days, but i have just bought another corrado. its not exactly what i was looking for?? but it was to much of a bargain to resist?? oh yeh i missed driving a corrado so much :D

[chubbybrown 0]

I didnt think it would be written off what a pisser

[Trig 0]

KADVR6, How much did you actually get from the insurance company in the end? Or do you not know yet. I'm with brentacre, would like to know if they've done a good job for you or not. :)

[KADVR6 0]

well i had the first offer from NIG that was £1700 :( told the bloke at NIG in not so many words to f**k off, than i phoned john at brentacres, and he just laughed at the offer, ive sent him some pics of the car before the crash, and he is in the process of getting me more money, but will let ya all no the outcome, but at least i have another corrado now :D

[h100vw 0]

I hope you took everything of value of it before it went, stereo, headlight loom etc

 

Insurance is a right rip off as everyone knows. I hope Brentacre pull one out of the bag for you.
