Yandards 0 Posted October 6, 2007 report it to the police mate have u got the witnesses details aswell? Yup that's the best plan. The police will send them a letter ref driving away from the scene of an accident which is a criminal offence, it will also be a good idea to inform your insurance company and pass on the details the witness left - that should allow you to get it all fixed up if they are insured.

Geoffb 0 Posted October 6, 2007 Contact Police they should get owners details. Put to insurance , guess they will not take action.Look at costs and if needed take out a small claims. I witnessed the same recently and went to court to give statement.Judge found in favour and awarded all costs.Worth the rtrouble trust all of you would do the same. Anyone who damages and drives off without leaving details wants ######.Good luck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shawshankkid 1 Posted October 6, 2007 Barstewards.. Do all three, Chocs for witness..... Visit the person, not to give him a slap but tell them your not happy with what he did.....iv'e done it twice and the embarressment is priceless. Sort it with police & insurance company. Good luck with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A20 LEE 0 Posted October 6, 2007 give it to your insurance company, they will contact the owner of the car and inform the police if needed. More than likely they'll send them a solictors letter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sonicriot13 0 Posted October 6, 2007 It's nice to know that someone was good enough to leave details, even if it was the witness and not the offender. Too many of these go "I parked my car down tescos and when I returned it had a big dent and there was nuffin left by nobody to say who done it". :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
