| Got pinned yesterday between a old guy in a merc and the kerb on central reservation, he pulled straight into me on a dual carriage way, both my wheels took the brunt of the accident and the old guy drove off.
lucky the police caught up with him and he denied causing the crash wtf!!! they proved it was him by the damage to his bumper were it had rubbed my wheel.
So my tracking is now way out and my drivers side wheel has a shiny rim were it rubbed the kerb, so claiming refurb and tracking off him.
Insurance brokers are sending me a courtesy car but trying to argue with Zurich (underwriters) that I want to get my own quotes which their not happy about as they also want £450 excess off me due to being under 25
So watch this space. | |

| tell them to wave the excess and recover it from the party that is at fault.
id also think about seeking medical advice. | |

| already done, argued with the guy from Zurich about the cost saying that the work wont come anywere near that. as all it really needs is the tracking redoing, but the guy refused to do it outside insurance so i have no option but to go through it.
As for injuries ive already been checked out and have done something to my left shoulder, probably done when the wheel was ripped out of my hands hitting the kerb.
Just hope they dont give me a bloody corsa. | |

| what broker are you with? they will probably use help hire ore summat, when they call to ask you needs (i.e auto car, diability) stipulate german, auto and medium hatch!! you do realise your car will be written off, as the courtesy car cost will make the claim ammount to more than your car!!! i did and got me one of these, they were going to send an astra. | |

| ive had the car up on ramps and theres nothing wrong, most the repair will cost is getting the tracking done of which i already have a quote, so ill be phoning them first thing on tuesday to say that ill get it repaired myself and claim that back.
I didnt know this when i took it out but im entitled to 7days use of a courtesy car from HSBC, also Zurich wanted to give me a car that i had to pay for and then claim back. And i did state VW, medium. so i hope its a polo or golf, wont mind a lupo either. lol | |
