Accident....AAAAAAAARRRRRGGGHHH

[SEEVERS]

Just got in from work to be told by Kate that she's pranged the car.Rear bumper scraped and dented in about 2" at the drivers side.Everyone in my street does a 3 point turn at the give way at the top of our street (including us) and this is what was happening today as Kate turned right then into reverse and back when a guy at the give way proceeds to pull out anyway and hits our back bumper.Kate wasn't sure if it was a bump or not so put the window down and apologised for not seeing him,drives down the hill 40 yds, pulls over and gets out to check the car and the guy just drives off past her never to be seen again......thinks it was a purple/lilac coloured Escort.

I personally don't know where we stand on this....is it Kate's fault/is it his....do i contact police/do i put it down to experience....?

One thing i do know is that in 10 mins i'm off out for a drive about to see if i can find it sitting anywhere.

I've put a post on for sale and wanted looking for a bumper if anyone has one,but will get it checked first to see if it can be repaired.

Raging as 1 1/2 months ago my neebs scraped my back bumper then gave me the money to get it painted,so it was looking nice and sweet and now this.....F**K i think i'll buy a scooter..lol.

Any help greatly appreciated.

could go down the 'Leaving the scene of an accident route' to try to shift blame. Thats how my uncle got done, someone bumped him and he got out and said not to worry as it was minimal, then 2 days later police knocked at his door...[:@]

think you need to report any kind of accident, best be on the safe side

[SEEVERS]

Just spoke to one of the local cops at the shop there....with no reg no i am completely F**KED.

Now feel even worse as the officer just told me in no uncertain terms that the guy should have given way to Kate no matter what, as he was waiting at the junction.

Money Money Money.

Del that's crap p**h mate really sorry to hear this. Did she get any of the reg number at all? Any CCTV cameras in your area that might have caught anything?

[SEEVERS]

Kev she got a fright mate more than anything,sadly no CCTV near our street,and she was expecting the guy to pull in behind her so was stood there in shock before the reality set in that she was left with my Scoob dinged and with no reg no or really anything  to go to your work-buddys with.

Looks like i'll need to put this one down to experience mate.

Sorry to hear about your car bud, hope you get it sorted soon. I think the guy knew he was to blame, seeing that he took off so eagerly, a$$!
