insurance willing to repair, which i was surprised at, he not taking the blame as yet so my insurance will pay up but ill hold off till he accepts its his fault i mean how can you hit a car infront of you and then say its not your fault
i even said to the guy which way was i indecating and he couldnt answere
bloody 4x4 cars they should stay on the fields, people who have them have no idea how to drive them

People often buy big stuff like that because they aren't confident in their own driving. It makes them feel safer where the real problem is their inability to drive correctly.

f*** that P44 SRP.
Always dislike SUV on public road, always think because they have small c**k so they need a big car to make themselves feel good

And i think in this case there is no way your insurance will lose in the fight.
In a single lane road it is almost 100% certain is the rear car fault..

give it good clean before it goes into the bodyshop as theyll calculate the costs there to see if its 'financially' repairable

after the last feew months nothing has been resolved my insurance thought i was at a round about after all the images and 3 statements so they told me they had settled 50 50 so the case has been put straight with a written statement and more drawings of the incident
the third party is saying i overtook him and turned on to himwhich is bonkers considdering i had my 2 kids in the car and it was at a givway onto a main road
once its sorted hopefully ill be buying the car back as it will be written off, then splitting i think as it needs too many thing to make it a nice car again starting with a full re spray then hub bearings sound on their way out with new discs and pads needed all round so may as wel get a bigger car for the money needed to fix it up

Correct me if I'm wrong mate but if it's 'wrote off' don't it have to be crushed? As no parts are safe for resale?
