#1: My 1st Accident 206 vs Nissian Qashqai 4x4 Author: my1st206, Location: Milton KeynesPosted: Mon May 21, 2012 3:20 pm ---- There I was going over a speed bump and usually most people accelerate back up to 30mph after slowing for them but this person decide to stop dead. . . = me into back of them . .
They stopped dead and although i'm slammed brakes on car still took a while to stop. My car went under the back of theirs hence they have 4x4 . . hopefully with scrapyards shouldn't be too much to repair. i'm only third party
so far to replace we can see . . .
Lights
Bonnet
Radiator (loads of steam on impact and coolant over road)
Fan
Plastic bar between lights with pug logo
Airbox
Mechanic (sisters bloke) coming round tomorrow to check in depth

#7: Re: My 1st Accident 206 vs Nissian Qashqai 4x4 Author: Seabook, Posted: Mon May 21, 2012 3:47 pm ---- does it worth to get it repaired?
#8: Re: My 1st Accident 206 vs Nissian Qashqai 4x4 Author: my1st206, Location: Milton KeynesPosted: Mon May 21, 2012 4:04 pm ---- well im not working and on JSA at the moment, so only option is to repair .
I would like to pay the other party cash for repairs and avoid going via a claim on my insurance, only damage on their car seems to be broken rear middle bottom fog light and scratched bumper.
I called my insurance earlier today to ask about recovery, but not offered on third party. Will they still log that I had an accident and will it affect my NCB and policy price at renewal even if I say i dont want to claim to them and want to resolve it with the other party directly.

Shame about the car though :/
#11: Re: My 1st Accident 206 vs Nissian Qashqai 4x4 Author: Lecktorious, Location: ScotlandPosted: Mon May 21, 2012 4:09 pm ---- Even if you don't claim, you have still been involved in an accident. It's likely you'll see a hike in your premium come renewal.

Glad you're OK and best of luck with the repair.

It would make no difference if you informed your insurance or not as the other party will give his insurance company your insurance details so that they can recover the costs. If you don't declare that you have had an accident (even though you won't be making a claim) then your insurance will be invalid and cancelled. If this happens, then you have to declare it at renewal time and it has a knock on effect for the next few years.
Have a read of this on BBC website. Last edited by macca1411 on Tue May 22, 2012 1:51 am; edited 1 time in total

I know which one I would rather drive. Comparing a Qashqai to a micra is like saying a Jaffa cake is a biscuit. So many things wrong with that statement. Now if you had said the micra was like the god damn ugly juke I would have believed you.

Kit-kats. Are they a chocolate bar or a biscuit?
They can't be a chocolate covered biscuit because they are sold next to Mars Bars and Penguins should be sold there too using that theory.
And why do egg boxes have "Keep refrigerated" on them when supermarkets have them on display miles away from the fridges.
But to get back on topic. I'm guessing that there is little sympathy from a few of us for someone running up the a**e of another car.

Ask him not to bother going through insurance. The worst he can say is no and then it will have an effect.
It's what I'd do. Most people seem to be pretty decent these days, give him a call pretty quick though, may have already claimed.
Good luck, glad you're alright.

#36: Re: My 1st Accident 206 vs Nissian Qashqai 4x4 Author: abs06, Location: East SussexPosted: Tue May 22, 2012 12:56 pm ---- I had someone reverse into me last month. Damage was scratch on my bumper and broken grill.
The other car had no damage. Was a clio. Bumper to grill contact.
Was dealt with private and the other party paid me for one of the three quotes I had done. I calle the insurance as if it had to go though the insurance I wouldn't be able to claim as you need to make the claim within a set period. So I'd say it was good you called your insurers. Keep them updated on progress. And if the other party do let you pay privately then inform your insurers imidiately too. As this will then count as a zero claim. If u don't inform them of outcome then it will affect you premium.

#40: Re: My 1st Accident 206 vs Nissian Qashqai 4x4 Author: my1st206, Location: Milton KeynesPosted: Tue May 22, 2012 4:29 pm ---- Hi All,
Here is a list of parts that I need now my sisters boyfriend has looked at it.
Lights (Lenses are fine and lights just need new morrette surrounds, awaiting reply to PM)
Bonnet (Have found a possible replacement, awaiting PM back)
Bonnet hinges
Bonnet Catch
In response to jamieElliott206 im living in Rushden at the moment so only up the road. Can you see what parts you have out of the newer list above and pm me individual prices and hopefully a 206info deal if I had all bits you could scavenge out of the list from you.
in response to V9977 the only bent metal parts are the metal parts the headlights sit in, sisters boyfriend knows someone that can bend it all back into place.
#41: Re: My 1st Accident 206 vs Nissian Qashqai 4x4 Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Wed May 23, 2012 1:26 am ---- Personally I think you will need a bit more than what is listed. The slam panel will have moved back, the headlight mounts can be straightened, but if they are not in the right place, it will affect the headlight alignment. You will be better off getting a front frame. Add on to that the clips and brackets that you always find damaged when you start dismantling a damaged car.
Before you go and spend money that you could put towards a replacement car, get a local bodyshop to come and do a quote. Most do it for free, just tell them you're a cash customer. They'll tell you it's beyond economical repair but should do the quote anyway. There could be damage that you haven't even thought about hiding behind the bumper. They bend then bounce back to shape.
Don't forget to contact a mod on here and ask them to change your account name. "my1stfkd206" has a nice ring to it

An elderly woman pulled out in front of my wife last year, and scratched the side of my Camry (from front wing to boot), she asked not to go through insurance, I said no problem. She paid €800 to have the side of the car resprayed (I let her pick the bodyshop).
Whats the problem with that? She even called after the repair to see if we were happy.

#49: Re: My 1st Accident 206 vs Nissian Qashqai 4x4 Author: D4NTP, Location: Not Leeds or its surrounding areas!Posted: Wed May 23, 2012 11:42 am ---- Following my problems getting any money after a hgv ran in to the back of me i'll never claim again. Its a farce, all the person at fault has to do is say it wasnt there fault, if the insurance company is like 'commercial direct' they just ignore all emails and letters from your insurer or keep asking for more and more information. Now any 'persistant' individual will say 'well id keep going and not give in', well they have you here as an 'open claim' is counted as your fault (even if your insurer doesnt pay you out) so your premium goes up at renewal time.
Complete con, il happily take cash if offered.
As for reporting....the police didn't give a s**t, they didnt even speak to the driver.... reason given....i wasn't SIGNIFICANTLY injured.
My approach from now on....if the car drives an nobody is hurt....carry on, let them chase you. Worked for the hgv company!
