Impact of accident (non-liable) on insurance
My other half had a council vehicle hit her in her private vehicle and the other driver admitted liability - there is no dispute. She is also a council employee so the transport manager is aware and fine if she wants to claim. She has talked herself out of them paying for the repair as she has been led to believe that the…

How to proceed after car accident?
Someone reversed into me. I took their phone number at the scene in order to swap insurance details, but it turned out to be false. I also realised I didn't have any evidence that actually proved they hit me rather than I hit them, so thought there's a good chance they'll deny it. I told my insurers who asked for photos…

MOT tomorrow brake light question
Hi, I had a failed right brake light bulb so went to buy a replacement. Halfords site specified incorrect ones so I'm going through a quandary. I recognise that a failed bulb will fail the mot. However a disconnected light would be overlooked as long as there's two working brake lights. Or so I think. So I've removed the…
