    they were on the street walking up to the car. and it was my front right wing that was damaged, like my top right corner, half on bumper half on side.

    to get into the car?

    if they were out with you then they can't be witnesses.

    and they should have identified themselves as witnesses at the scene (given details to other driver etc)

    won't make any difference to the insurers when they argue liability.

    Walking up to a car which is pulling into the path of a car?

    they just laughed at me and the man. then they carried on walking down the road. do you really think i would have gone to them to ask for help. they were probably drunk anyway.

    no they were walking up to the car from behind.

    PLEASE NOTE, dont forget that all this commotion is happening behind me until the driver comes over to my side of road.....
