& the lesson to learn is keep enough braking space between you & the vehicle in front.

I wouldnt get police involved she did stop but she told him she didnt want to claim which is a winner.
A lot of peope dont wamt to claim now for scratches as even if you have a non fault claim your premiums rise. See it every day.
And then u get the someone who only has a scratch to there veh and goes off, tn puts a claim in!
If you had a independent and viable witness you could have POSSIBLY got a split, ive managed to on some of mt cases like this at work, but some insurance companies wont take a split in these circs, and some companies wont even bother trying for you!

Gutted to see such a poorly peugeot, and that it's going to be a fair bit of work to get it running again. Hope you're ok and still in one piece.
It's women like that, that really don't help the female driving populations reputation.

my mate recently hit the back of a land rover. Again just a scratch but it wrote his off. They are still built like tanks. |
Same here Rob, a guy I know hit the back of a land rover the other day and his car was very much like the OP's car in terms of state, the but the land rover wasn't even slightly bumped, it's crazzyyy.
Sorry to see .. hope it gets sorted soon, it looks like it was/is a nice car

I had a crash last year, did about the same ammount of damage. It cost me around 500 quid to get fixed with the help of teebag doing spraying etc.
Use sites like www.partsgateway.co.uk to get cheap used parts with warranties and yh ideal time to upgrade to sport parts shouldn't cost much more dude.

Had similar, someone decided to pull out and it turned into a 5 car pile up me being at the back. Knew straight away even though it's bulls**t it was my fault, in the same way it was pretty much everyone's fault for hitting the person in front.
Just got a new bonnet and lights and it was pretty sorted

| Surely it's a case of not stopping at an RTA? which is illegal? The fact you got her plate I would contact the police |
She has committed the crime of failing to stop at the scene of an accident. Although she did stop, she is required to give her name and address to any party involved. You might find that she was driving without insurance or even a licence. If no one is injured then the police don't need informing, but on this occaision you should contact the police. You may find that if she has no licence, then her driving falls below that of what you would expect of a competant driver and she be held partly to blame.

insurance company might not pay out but small claims court would and it would be free to claim and if you win then any soliciotrs costs she would have to pay. no licence means that her quality of driving isnt that of the reasonable motorist meaning that it is easier to prove she was at least partially at fault as it can be argued she wasnt driving in a manor you expect of the reasonable road user
