edge Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Did you get any of the number plate details? If you did its worth telling the police if you got the make of car etc. Gutted for you though. Is it badly damaged.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 more paint cracks yer got his reg plate and no what car it was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 more paint cracks yer got his reg plate and no what car it was! Even more trouble for him. Phone the police asap as leaving the scene of an accident is a serious offence and will most probably be arrested. Do it fast so as not to let him/her get the damage fixed.

SupraD06 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 What a tool, did you not see him going to get back in his car? did you get the details from the third car? would help if you have a witness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Thats bad, I hate people like that. I may be wrong but I'd be supprised if the police give a monkeys, same thing happened to my flatmates car and even though leaving the scene of an accident is supposed to be a serious offence they weren't going to do a thing. Hopefully I'm wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buster Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 i dont think much will come of this and i sure dont think my bumper will get paid for i must admit worth a try tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraD06 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Probably has no insurence:rolleyes: Not worth crashing yours to catch him up though. If you have the reg you should be fine, hope you get it sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesG Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 If he's the kind of person that runs after an accident then 1. he probably doesn't have insurance (find out here: http://www.askmid.com/ ) 2. he will probably claim that you ran into the back of him and try to claim any damage to his car from your insurance. Don't know what you'll be able to do, unless you have any independent witnesses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 this is it my front bumper is damaged so he could say that i did go into the back of him and then im gettin done! guess the only thing in my favor is he ran off not me!

SupraD06 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Did you get the details from the third car? Or was anyone else around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraD06 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 No the witness needs to be a neutral party. Like you say though, either nothing will get sorted or worse he will say that you hit him, you can only try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 If he can be traced the guy is going to be in serious trouble when the police get hold of him. If he was uninsured or can't be traced there is a department you can contact that will assist with incidents involving uninsured accidents (can't remember who, nor if it's applicable in your situation, but worth looking at) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
