I think it is, slight kink in roof, doors don't shut properly, cross member bent etc etc...Bird pulled a U turn with no indication gave me no chance but she is disputing it which makes my blood boil.
Only had the car 2 month's after a long time saving and was meant to be going to the surrey meet tonight.

 

What a muppet

Sorry to see mate, TBH I would take her to the cleaners and replace the car as they're never quite right after a shunt

 

roof is bent and the door dont shut ,twisted shell i would say it is going to be written off parts cost alone would be more then its worth to repair

 

without been funny it looks fucked i wouldn't want it back!!

 

deffo wright off . such a shame

 

Looks like a right off to my untrained eye. Hope you got plenty of witnesses so she can't wriggle out of it.

Where abouts did you hit her car i.e. in the rear, in the side etc. The position that you hit her may give the police/insurance company an idea of the manouvre she was carrying out at the time.

 

she wants a stiff kick in the cunt and you want your motor replacing at her xpense,stupid twat

 

Sadly mate thats a gonner.

 

shit mate! That doesnt look good. I thought it had the windows covered when i drove passed it earlier tonight, thought it must have been broken into. Gutted for you mate

 

Anything can be repaired.

But yes thats an insurance write off.

 

Yeah its totally gutting..it happened outside the womans house and the neighbours said my car was very noisy so obviously i was speeding. Police fella said from the position of the cars he could tell it wasn't my fault even though that was off record.
Air bag smacked me in the kisser which fooked me right off and can't get a hire car till liabillity has been accepted.

Will i have the option of keeping the car? ie so i can sell the nice bits off etc.

 

depends on your insurance company tbh there is no set rule to if you can keep the car or not just keep refusing offers then except one with the option of keeping the car worked for me

 

If the insurance write it off which im sure they will then you should be able to buy it back off of them pretty cheap

 

Get a claim in fella, im sure you have got at least whiplash and sore back

 

sorry to see m8

was that wing previously red?

steve

 

I do not see how she could even win that if she tried she pulled OUT into your path therefore her fault by default.

That is a write off unfortunately mate

 

Init get yourself off to the docters in the morning.. Where theres blame, theres a claim

 

Definatley! Had the same sort of accident in my old rst and got paid out £2500 just for having whiplash for a few days!

 

Shit news mate.

Don't want to seem like a vulture but can I have your gearbox if you do get it back...?

 

sorry to say but thats wrote off mate.

 

Sorry mate but i would think it's a write off .Shame mate all your saving has gone to waste because of a stupid bitch....

 

That cars got a lot of nice bits on it, so if cheap enough, it would definitely be worth buying to break... sorry to see it in that state though. Main thing is you're alright, these old Imprezas aren't known to stand up well in accidents.


Cheers,
Grant

 

Thats if all the nice bits dont go "missing" in the salvage yard as happens faaaarrrr too often.

 

Absolutely gutting, what a stupid bloody bint!

 

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but in the eyes of the law you should have been traveling at a speed you could have stopped. It's stupid but it's the way these work, make sure you can prove she was doing an ilegal manover, and make sure you claim for injurys from the stupid bitch

 

yeah i will hopefully break it so pm me so i remember to give ya a bell, now i have a half stripped 200sx and a smashed impreza on my mum and dads drive.

well noiced on the red wing, yeah mate i think thats a dead give away its been done at some point.

feel proper gutted, this is literally a couple of weeks after getting dashed by the mrs lol.

Will dentman be able to help or a bit of t-cut to fix the problem if applied well?

 

it happened to my mates fez when it was flood damaged, new coilovers, wheels , headunit and sound system went "missing" he could do fuck all about it either because they wernt listed on the insurence

 

Well she's openly admitted she was doing a U turn etc so i thought that would put me in the right. I thought it would be like someone pulling out on you from a side turning etc.
Anyone else have any opinions on fault?

 

As an insurance engineer I disagree, if he was doing 10 mph and she pulled straight out and he hit her would he have been going to fast to stop??

If she has crossed yr path when you are travelling down the main road without making sure she is clear to make her manouver then she is at fault.

 

I don't think that's the case, as when someone pulled out on me she told the Police I had been speeding who told her it made no difference. They said something along the lines of 'It could have been a Police car on call'. Needless to say whether I was or wasn't speeding never even came into it.

Benni.

 

thats really re-assuring as i am so worried i ain't gonna get paid out, not because of a guilty conscience but the way my luck is at the moment.

anyone got ideas on how long these things will take to sort out? ballpark figure?

 

That's what the police told my mate when he hit his car at an council oil spill

 

nodubnorub if everyone drove at a speed where they could always avoid people pulling out then youd have to stay stationary

This is why we have give way lines, rules for pulling out etc.

 

.....since you mention it, I could be interested in the rear lights if/when its being broken.

Sorry to be a vulture, but just registering interest.

the police often know very little about the law as has been proven on many times

Mark4, these things can be very quick or it can takes months and months of aggro. The more hassle she gives the longer it will take,

Common sense would say that if she pulled from side of road into path of traffic without looking or indicating then its her fault. Its also clearly against the highway code and probably some RTA/council law somewhere.

 

Proby just cops talking though there arses as usual then warren tho I've always tought this was the case if someone ran into you, say if you stopped suddenly and you were hit from behind?

 

Exactly, that's why in my earlier post i asked where in relation to her car he hit her. If it was in the side then i think you should be ok but if you went up her arse (figuratively speaking not literally) then there would be a good chance you would lose the claim as you should be far enough behind to be able to stop suddenly.

 

my car hit hers on the front drivers wing, the collision happened on the wrong side of the road as i had swerved to avoid her as there was no chance to stop without contact, she kept coming across the road into my path......she pulled into the gap i was using to go round her on the wrong side if that makes sense.

 

any cctv cameras close by that you may be able to use to back your story of events up mate

 

Gutted that the car has been written off Hopefully the parts can be saved or it can be reshelled. My mate has just sold a 2000 shell for £700 that was pretty mint so it's possible.
