Steve GT Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 well guys im afraid and saddened to sy i was involved in a small accident todayi was going down a road to drop my missus off at her house. she lives on a main road so i went down a bit to turn round. i indicated, braked and slowed right down to turn right. i went in to the right hand turning point in the road and just started turning, next thing i know BANG someone ran straight into the side of me. and worst of all it was a volvo which you all know are like tanks. whats funny though is he tried overtaking me on the other side of the road on a slightly blind bend when he was supposed to be going straight ahead. he was about 70 years old so i went over and checked everyone was alright luckily there was no injurys at all. after that he said that i swang out in front of him. i said how could i i was braking had my indicator on and was in the middle section of the road. plus i stated that he shouldnt have tried overtaking me at all SPECIALLY with a trailor on the back.anyway i assesed the damage and its pretty bad. driveshafts been pushed in, axle looks bent. manifolds cracked etc engine looks twisted. basically its all been bent. door wont shut properly frames warped tried driving it steerings very bent and its crabbing its arse offso basically its a rite off, total rite off. i got the guys insurance details and my mate came out and took loads of pics and we even got a google maps image and drew lines on the puter of my intended route, his etc etc to show him being in the wrongbut all this time and work i put into my beloved starlet and on old fart not concentrating has ruined it alljust hope he accepts liability and i get a pay out and hopefully get a starlet back in my posession Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ste91 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I know how you feel mate I had my old Starlet wrote off by some old numpty a few months ago, similar sort of situation I was on a main road they pulled out of a side road without properly looking and tried to say I was speeding (I couldn't have been, I'd just gone past a speed camera), but I ended up quite lucky, kept all my mods, got over £1100 back from it and it was only a Sportif.Don't waste any time getting onto the insurance although I'm sure you already have. Get everything done a.s.a.p and make sure you can easily prove that they were in the wrong.My insurance took about a month to sort out, for a few weeks I heard nothing then I had a letter saying the other party's insurance admitted liability, I got a cheque through a few days later, then took me ages to look for a car and I've ended up with a nice CRX.
