ok time for my venting fustration

today i got rear ended by a skoda octavia estate, which in turn pushed me into the unmarked cop car in front (!!!!!)

have got 2 cracked bumpers, a rally style very wide arch on rear right, has bulged out, all nasty [xx(], and engine bay has moved backwards into the car more, is now a nice compact :p

i might not even be able to get a fiat to replace it as the probs i've had with this car have put parents right off letting me get a fiat again [xx(]

anyway my rant over, just hope this guys insurance pays out now

yeah i've phoned my ins company who are going through process of claiming off his insurance (good ol' legal cover), and am trying to organise courtesy car but having problems because hire companys wont hire cars out to 17yr olds

am ok, neck kinda hurts but not majorly, and cant be bothered to sue for anything, i think its more shock than anything, really cant believe my cinqi is for the carpark in the sky :(

Bad luck mate, hope they don't do to you what they did to a mate of mine, he got hit from behind whilst waiting in traffic and hit the car infront and the insurance said he should have left a bigger gap infront and it was his fault that the car in front got hit. he was only tpf&t and ended up with nothing.

[:0] Surely they can't do that? It's the responsibility of every driver not to crash in the first place, so he was blameless!

Don't let them get away with the 'your too young for a courtesy car' b*ll*x! it wasn't your fault, you need a car and its their problem!

I recently had loads of hassle when my Stilo was hit whilst parked, like I said, they're a bunch of crooks who want to charge the earth and then do anything and everything to get out of coughing up[}:)]

It really angers me that they try to take advantage of young drivers in this way[}:)][}:)][}:)]

well they're now offering me a 1.2 corsa curtosey car, but they want me to upgrade my insurance to fully comp so i can drive the corsa under my insurance.

have done all i can for now, got another 2 garages saying in writing "beyond economical repair", waiting for the guy to admit blame now and then should move forward somehow (he should admit blame, he said was his fault when he hit me)

That is admission of blame, get a witness and yure there...coppers?

Its the one thing yure advised not to say by yure insurers, as that just drops them in it! If yu can get written proof its a won war:)!

Sorry to hear about your Cinq. If your neck is beginning to hurt a bit now, it will probably hurt alot more in a couple of days....sue for everything! It's the insurance company that pays.
I've still got my Modded Panda Sporting for sale if you're interested...cheap plug :)... www.thomassoft.com/PandaPower

Good luck.
