meekstaaa Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 (edited) Well Some plonker of a lorry decided to reverse into my car while it was parked at work. He was a lovely chap who then decided to drive off. Luckily some nice witness left his details on my windscreen. Went to the police last night and phoned the insurance today, gonna leave it up to them, hopefully it gets sorted. He scraped the door and took a nice chunk out of the rear arch: http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/18231.jpg Edited March 20, 2009 by meekstaaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil73 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 that was nice of him , good job some one spotted what had happened and left you a note Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 lucky for you there was some decent folk there to get his details. did he submit his details to them or did he just drive off and the witnesses just got his Reg? if he just drove off then he could be a bit of bother when they catch up with him. its basically leaving the scene of an accident. were you on private property when this happened? if so you might not be covered by your insurance, the same as if someone damages your car at feckin Tescos etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meekstaaa Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 I was on private property but the whole insurance not covering is balls. They just drove off and the witness took his registration number as he went off. Just had a call from some lawyers who are sorting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW Have you got a thread on you mondy , wanna see what it looks like hehe And dont just say its a plain old mondy, get a thread up mate if your aint lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meekstaaa Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 thanks for the support guys, after thinking about it saturday night i started to get more and more annoyed about it, now i'm not overly bothered as i'm sure it'll get sorted. Matt86: Our CCTV doesn't cover where i parked, but i'll look into seeing if any of the other businesses around have some.Rob: I don't actually have a thread on the Mondy, and if you notice, i don't really post my cars up on here, can never be bothered to take pics and stuff! The lawyer lady from yesterday said she'll phone back today... but alas she didn't. I can' only assume that means they've got no more information at the moment. I also had to phone 3663 today (the company that the lorry belonged to) regarding something for work, i also decided to inform them that what's happened and i've phoned the police, blah blah blah. She said she would get the transport manager to phone me back. Guess what!....... They didn't! They wanna play it the hard way! BRING IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamspeed Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 http://finickypenguin.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/clubber.jpgThe gloves are off eh pal... Go for it, I think i'd be just as pissed off to be honest... Not so much that he scraped your car as accidents unfortunatly happen, but the fact that they drove off... What action did the police take, are they sending someone round to inspect the damage/ area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 (edited) Dave have em!!! I hate plp that drive off! Oh and most lawyers IME are lazy and need to be chased... mention the Law society at them and they move quicker!!

meekstaaa Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 i'll probably give them a call tomorrow about it all. The police didn't give a Shite. just filled in the paperwork and thats it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
