Some old dear has just driven into the back of my tech 1, i was just about to enter an island by where i live and some bitch in a renault megane didn't deem my car as worth stopping for so just drove into the back of me, i think she was actually accelerating. she came to the conclusion that it was my fault as there was no visible damage to her car. can you believe that not only is she stupid enough to think that, but she managed to get away without damage

heres the damage

sometimes the absolute stupidity of some people defies belief

the annoying thing is that shes bent the rear panel so no doubt be a write off and a rediculous payout of bout £600 cus thats all most insurance comps think these cars are worth

they pay what you agree stick to your guns and get what it's worth

i got told mine was worth 700 and i would get two thirds of the value before it was written off!!

but nine months of fighting ive just put my cheque in the bamk for 973 pounds without it being written off

so best of luck bud keep fighting them!

im definatly fighting for a load, i was really making progress with it, all i needed was the rear outer arches doing and it was going to be mint, im buying it back no matter what they give me

is the rear panel badly bent? if not thats a nice cheap fix.

On a positive note. I recieved a £1600 payout for my tech1 with no mention of a write off and it was dealt with Vquickly

dunno if its bad really its been pushed in a good inch, heres a foto

yep

had a 205 written off in Feb but a tipper truck wanting to park where my 1.9 was parked

was offered £2k until I asked them to find me one in the same condition/miles/history for than amount

eventually I ended up with £3k in the bag

good luck!

feel sorry for you man.

cheers for support guys, not matter what happens im keeping it e30, been to the hospital for some whiplash, so hopefully that might bring some money even if the car doesnt make a decent amount, ill be straight away giving them particulars of similar cars sold to ensure good money

you wont get anykind of payout unless she accepts fault, which doesn't sound like she wants too. make sure your insurance company dont pus*ey out and go 50/50.

saying that, i thought it was automatically the person behinds fault for not observing the correct stopping distance.

I always thought if you hit someone in the ass you were in the shit. (no pun intended).

lol

sure the age old argument is, even if you stop in the road for no good reason the person behind should at all times be leaving enough room to safley stop before hitting you.

silly cow doesn't have a leg to stand on imo prepare to eat sh*t love

Ah mate what a b4stard
Good luck whatever the outcome.
Heres a couple of ads for similar cars to yours.Could be good fighting point if/when you have to argue about insurance value,worth saving the links to print out

yeah its def all her i know it for a fact, i could of kicked my tail out to drift the island she has to keep a correct stopping distance its not only liable it illegal not to. i know from experiance from when some other bint cut me up once then crashed causing me to crash into her and i ended up with total liability and nearly a night in the cells for arguing the fact with a cop. as apparently i was driving dangerously by driving close enough to hit her

Appropriate number plate you have! Feel sorry for you though; hope you at least get a good whiplash claim from it...

yup, any rear ender is the person behinds fault.

Unlucky, cant see it being a write off though, few hundred to pull the panel out and jig it, job jobbed.

sorry to see that mate hold out on them they give in after time

Appropriate number plate you have! Feel sorry for you though; hope you at least get a good whiplash claim from it...

How so? is it Hate or hyatt, cus ive always thought of her as a little luxury that costs more then it should lol

If he has whiplash - which i doubt in such a low speed impact; he is entitled to claim, but i guess you would just claim anyway - remember karma

Hopefully the rear panel will push out, get a few quotes from reputable bodyshops and get their expert opinion.

Got a good tech 1 rear bumper here in that colour should the need arise.
Low speed impact or not whiplash payout should be on the cards.
Good luck with it

if they ran into you it's classed as driving without due care and attention

scum.

a few hours after the crash my neck did hurt, wasnt stiff could still move normally, just a little sore, thing is even the hospital gives you a no win no fee claim leaflet its stupid, but ive got a hospital record now with whiplash on it so if they try and screw me on the price of the sport ill be taking the compensation, may even take it anyway and add some goodies to the sport, cheers for the letting me know bout the bumper spadge ill let you know if i need it

I'd claim if I was you. It's a chance to stick it to the insurance company. They love pulling down the cutomers' pants, so it's only Karma!!

Do they?
Mine has gone down every year for the last 8 years.

Feck all wrong with making the most of a bad situation regardless of what some people may think.

your one of the lucky ones.. my insurance premium shits on the price of most cars on here so I think I have a fair say in the matter.

not if youre calling me scum as you dont know me, cant see a whiplash claim or any other affecting your personal premium unless you have a bad record to start with i have several cars and bikes insured for next to nothing as i have full no claims and im over 30 (just) so back off with the insults and stop blaming everything else for your high premiums, try learning to drive properly off keep off the beer or drugs whatever it is your on!! Not far from me in Chester by the way PAL!!!!!

You havn't had the car long Bob so you wouldn't have had a renewal yet Your high premiums are based purely on your age and the type of car you drive, where you live etc..
Calling someone 'scum' for their comments earlier was a bit ott imo
