    I'm local and was aware of the collision and the road that it happened on. Lady, there was no way at all that your son was driving at 30mph or slower, not that he should have been driving at all without insurance. Even if the Golf did pull out on him, if he were travelling within the speed limit the road is straight enough that he would easily have been able to see it in time to slow down or stop. And then, after being involved in a collision that caused serious injury your wonderful son thought that instead of stopping to make sure the injured driver was ok they thought it would be better to do a runner. As for the woman who was injured. What's the matter with you? Lot's of people donated their money to you, myself included. At least have the decency to give Joe your documents. Some people have no shame. I honestly despair at the lack of humanity and decency in today's society. It really doesn't pay to help.

    Insurance lawyer of 16 years here. There’s loads of points in this video which you raise but they are too complex to go through in a comments section. I’m happy to chat through it with you - no charge of course. It could really help you navigate what’s going on. A few small points are - the police investigation/criminal charges have a much higher burden of proof (beyond reasonable doubt) than a civil standard (balance of probabilities). It doesn’t really matter if they give you the paperwork. You could do an MID for his insurers and then send them a DPA to them to ascertain their policy details. Indemnity of all parties and insurers will be important- that’s really complex with a lot of different outcomes. The issue you may have is proving liability though if the driver of the golf isn’t cooperating. Anyways, like I say there’s a lot to unpack here. If you want a chat feel free to drop me a message.

    He possesses the crime number, so the insurance company can inquire who was driving the car. It wasn't our client; therefore, we're not liable. The requirement for proof of the other party's insurance seems like an attempt to scam him. The law is explicit on this matter: he stated he wasn't driving and provided the details of the actual driver. He doesn't need their insurance details; that's for his insurance company to obtain. Essentially, the insurance company is threatening him with a fraudulent reduction in his no-claims bonus to avoid doing their job.

A bike crashed into my car, I didn't ask for their information because the other party appeared to be injured at the time. When I tried to ask for his details after he was discharged from hospital, he would refuse to give me any information. I took him to court and his mum represented him and stood by his lies. I eventually won my case because the sheriff saw his actions afterwards didn't stack up if he wasn't in the wrong. Keep your head high. Fleeing the scene won't do the other party any favours and will come back and bite him once he's in court.

    JOE might i make a suggestion.... Issue a pre claim form to the selfish couple. Ultimately they are responsible for returning that vehicle to you in the same state they received it. Thats basic consumer law. As it stands they did not do so. They mislead you into believing they were insured. You can legally and lawfully issue a county court claim against them for any costs incured as a result of the vehicle not been returned in approximate condition. Give them a 14 day pre court notice. You cannot let them get away with it because other unscrupulous people may watch your video and do it to another dealer. You really ought to make a point of this. Will make bloody good viewing too. PS.. Also report the woman to the police as she was also driving without insurance. She would need to prove otherwise. You dont realise what such a strong position your in.

Lady complained her electric aerial was stuck, could not afford a new one, we said well try to lubricated and at least get it extended. It would not move. She was a bit annoyed when she collected the car. Despite being out of warranty, the following day the manufacturers customer services contacted me, she had told them we had broken her aerial during the service, claimed there was nothing wrong with it when it came in. They paid for a new aerial and we had to fit it for free.

    A selfish couple who received your help and then decided to evade talking to you and keep what they can. And an uninsured driver who went in the side at far more than 30mph ran away and now evades responsibility. His Mum should be ashamed of her actions. You are going to lose more money in the short term. Next time just tell your customer where the bus stop is.

    My insurance covers me to drive any car loaned to me by a garage under the same terms as my own car, for the duration that the garage has my car for repair/servicing/MOT etc. This is really useful to cover courtesy cars without any risk to me or the trader.

    I work in insurance, a pretty standard policy wording states the driving other cars extension only covers people to drive a PRIVATELY OWNED vehicle not belonging to themselves. It is there for emergencies, not to do test drives, bring a car home from purchase, insure a courtesy vehicle etc etc. unless their insurer has not included the phrase "privately owned" in their wording I don't think your client is covered. However, if the accident is deemed as the fault of the other party you will get your NCD back when they settle. One other thing that's important for readers to be aware of, driving other cars only covers the policyholder NOT any named drivers on the policy, so if unless their policy was either in the lady's name or she was a joint policy holder again there would be no cover.

    Neuroblastoma cancer is a nasty one. There was a 5 year old kid here in Sunderland with the same cancer who was an avid supporter of SAFC and in particular a player (Jermain Defoe). Jermain befriended this kid (Bradley Lowery) and it was a wonderful thing to behold. Sadly, Bradley died, but not before he had the entire stadium chanting his name as he was escorted onto the pitch at the side of his footballing hero. Jermain visited him and his family regularly and is still in contact with the family to this day.

    We all know that car insurance is the biggest scam in UK history and it's no surprise the insurance companies take every opportunity to hike prices. My car is valued at £300 (by the insurance company) and yet they charge £360 for 3rd party cover with almost £700 in excesses. A dent in the wing writes my car off because the garages who do insurance repair work charge 5 times what they should!!

    It sounds like they never took out insurance on your courtesy car. They cannot get away with it though as the Police will want to see proof that they were insured. I had a courtesy car from a local garage and they arranged a day's insurance and I had to pay for it and sign for it and they kept the document, maybe you should do that too in the future to cover yourselves. I am sorry that you have had to deal with this after all you (we) did for them.😞
