Sitting at the traffic lights today and I see a car in the mirror getting closer and closer with the driver looking down at his lap.
I take my foot of the brake and bang he goes into the back of me then foot back on brake as I move forward.
We stop round the corner and get out of cars to have a look, he assures me "no damage mate, I worked at garage for 20 years".
I explain you can not say for sure as we have no idea if there is any damage to bumper or behind this so I will take it to a garage for them to have a look, they do, find a ripple in the bumper and estimate to repair is £250 + VAT.
Pass this onto the driver and get the "no damage mate", I can fix it or paint it, meet me at the garage so I can talk to the estimator".
Explain again I have done all I'm doing and it is going to the garage and at this time I have not involved a claims management company but just may if the driver does not pass on his insurance details!
What is it with some people when they have an accident that is their fault?
