When you SHOUT bad advice, and are corrected, why not stand corrected and move on?

Shouting advice in an authoritative manner when you are wrong is just pointless and only helps to spread confusion.

And means that those who read it and find out it's worthless realise they should ignore you in the future!

No one was injured, it's a reportable accident as property was damaged but as there was NO injury there is NO requirement to provide insurance details. Go and READ the road traffic act.

specifically section 170 of the 1988 Act?...........

i wasnt shouting- oh the caps lock

yes it doesnt say about property but it does state if someone with reasonable grounds can request documents and identifying marks of the car - the property owner should have grounds as her/his property was damaged shouldnt she

someone with reasonable grounds can only expect to be provided with the name and address of the driver, the name and address of the owner (if different) and the vehicle reg. plate..

only if there is personal injury must the insurance details also be provided to another party, *and* to the police, i.e. by reporting the collision.

failure to provide insurance details and/or failure to report to the police an accident involving personal injury is seen as quite a serious offence...

It's the girls insurance details you need, not the fathers, so I can't understand why he said he would give you his?

"Gave his daughter's insurance details" seemed pretty plain to me.
