Holy crap dude 🙁

However if it wasn't your fault, it doesn't count as a claim against you - provided they dont' manage to pin the blame on you somehow.

My wife wrote off 3 cars in 6 months.

The last was uninsured (no insurance coy would touch us) so I had to bodge a working vehicle out of the wrecks.

So I feel your pain...

Bummer.

At least you were no longer protecting you no claims?

At least it'll be their insurance paying for it & you'll have a nice shiny door & valeted car to show for it! 🙂

Reckon it will go 50/50 as it was on a roundabout and I dont have any witnesses to him not indicating etc.

First claim is accidental damage on my camper van classic insurance (H20 flooded engine) and this one will be on my volvo insurance (4yrs protected no claims)

Had the renewal through post today £1041 up from £660 last year with an extra years no claims. (And I hadnt had chance to tell them about the claim on the campervan yet as I dont know if its going through yet- so Jebus knows how much it would have been)

🙁

Going for a bit of a cry. Would be a pint but I actually can't afford to 🙁

If I lived near you I'd buy you several pints. If I still had my old car I'd loan it to you.

Where do you live btw?
