cheers for the comments, specially about the insurance, ive seen a solicitor anyway to ask questions and he's mentioned that under the road traffic act they have to cover the damage, unless they can find a way to void the policy, ie...the driver was pissed etc etc, im keeping my fingers crossed and hopefully i'll get sorted. it was only afterwards when i was lookin at my little fezza parked against the tipper i realised he could've driven right through me if he'd wanted to, haha, was rather good fun though and these things happen so hey ho,
