    I can see how people are suspicous though. That is a lot of damage for this type of collision.

    Broken headlight bracket, damaged bumper and dented bonnet doesnt seem that unreasonable?

    I hit an alsatian in my wifes car some years ago and it needed two headlights, bonnet, bonnet lander panel, bumper, fog lamps, front panel and radiator. The car looked like it had been hit by a truck and the dog got up, shook itself and walked off....

    It cost £2800 to have the car repaired, but luckily it was a farmers dog and i claimed off his public liability insurance.

    Why would it be suspicious? The dog owner saw the damage to my car when it happened. And if you don't believe me on the condition of the car before. I can show you the pictures i took of her the night before if you would like?
