Sounds sensible. We got hit by a white van once and the damage was similar - bumper scratched and it needed a new wing. The company that owned the van wouldn't pay us even though we hassled them loads and they insisted that it had to go through insurance - so we had to decline because at proper bodyshop rates, it would have written off the car :(Clawjaw wrote:I would of only of wanted the money and not messed with insurance to get it repaired
It's a bitch when some rear end goes through your insurance, rather than accepting a perfectly reasonable offer of cash, I can assure you. That's what happened to me.
A month and eight days odd after I passed my test, I was following a 205, which pulled out of a junction like someone'd set the driver's rear end on fire, and then stopped dead, four odd foot later, at which point I'd assumed they'd pulled out and then seen the truck/bus/car or whatever, and accelerated more to get out of it's way, and I was looking up the hill to try to see what was coming. Long story short, BANG. The 205 they were driving was an E reg, uncared for, rusty, dirty, grimy, birdshit covered 1.0. So, in realistic terms, worth what, £150? We offered the woman's husband (A Theologian, no less!) £400 cash compensation for the written off 205, but he wanted £900.
And that is the tale of how I lost my first year's ncb without having driven for more than nine days. *insert a multitude of profanities here*
So I guess the moral of my story is that they might not even have offered the right cash sum anyway, and your insurance would have been ******.
