Three weeks old and.... - Wirral-Wikiwirral

Some colleagues just spotted a pratt reverse his Zaferia into my car in the works car park, Stop think for a moment, then drive off!

Been given a partial number and been on to security. Theres no damage but a simple courtesy to check wouldn't have gone a miss.....

Driver will be getting a surprise tomorrow!

Sickening but all too common. I hope you catch up with them.

Oh he's mine already.....sent him an email asking for a comment...

Cleaned the car tonight and the bumper is creased....best get the structure beneath checked.

CCTV?

Yup, And Witnesses

You can hear it now can't you ...

"sorry mate, I was in a hurry to go to the doctors"

"perhaps its the opticians you needed"

I Hope its sorted amicably

The car hasn't even done 2000 miles yet....Amicable may not come in to it now! If he'd owned up maybe but...

Any news yet, we are all on the edge or our seats waiting for the next instalment of Wiki Taggart!! lol

I had Columbo on it until he died.

Bloody hell, you dont want that.....seen the state of his car??

Got a reply today....

This is true and I am very sorry about it.
I was in a hurry and made up my mind there could be no damage. But of course I should have checked and got in touch with you.
Sorry also not to get back sooner but I was not in on Friday

Appology but no enquiry about damage or recompense.

Tell him his mind is wrong and would he/she like to meet you see it/discuss and see the damage.

Also what this person fails to realize is he or she left the scene of an accident with out stopping .That is an offence on it`s own Let them know this Gypsy June

Thank you for you admission and apology. However, had you checked you would have noticed a crease and indentation in the bumper suggesting it has been pushed against the internals of the front end. The fog light also appears to be no longer aligned correctly.

I have been told by witnesses that the car was moved significantly in the impact. The car is only a month old and the damage while appearing slight to the eye suggests that contact has been made internally and I therefore have no choice but to take the car to a garage for an assessment in order to protect the warranty. I will be requiring your insurance details

Fair play.

She doesn't really have a leg to stand on.

Let us know how you get on.

He's given me his details quickly without a cough or splutter. As he's been up front now.....I'll get a quote and try spare his Insurance if I can.

Hmm thought it was going too well. Got a quote, sent it to him and now he's saying there's nothing to repair.

Just ask for his insurance details then and say you'll take it through them.

"......the Road Traffic Act 1988 requires that any driver involved in an accident where another vehicle is involved must stop and give his name, address and the registration number “to any person having reasonable grounds for requiring those details”...... the requirement extends to also giving insurance details."
