Just before I go,I wanted to mention how having a brand new car ruffles feathers on certain people.
People expect me to drive fast,I never had this trouble in my 02 car.
Because its new people treat me differently always trying to overtake me,I always drive at the speed limit.
Its a hire car from motability
Last week I got a note under the windscreen from someone calling me a sware word.
Having a new car gives out a certain thing to some people I dont know why I have no money and a council house but its a funny old world.
Goodnight sleeptight

Absolute rubbish. I periodically have new cars but other drivers act no differently from any other time when I have a new car.

It's all in your mind.

Had a note under the windscreen calling you a swear word? I would have to think your driving standards are not upto much.

If someone did that to every new car they would have a full time job and would probably have to hire a team of assistants.

Is it possible they perhaps thought the OP had parked in a disabled bay without being entitled to or something?

Anyway - with regards to a solicitor - you'll probably not even need to meet with them, just give them information for the report thing that gets filled out detailing the incident, the drivers and your injuries - this gets sent to the other insurer as notification of the injury claim.

Seems very easy - at least for the person that hit me a couple of months ago *rolleyes*

The van driver didn't see them sitting at red lights and OP didn't see him coming into rear of the car.

Only if personal injury is paid by the fault-driver than insurance, this would make us all lot defensive drivers.

Just a little thiought here. (My car was hit from behind twice this year)

BLT still talking about things you know nothing about then, wind your neck in.

so the white van hit the rear of your car- his fault, end of.

let your insurer deal with the accident, iirc the excess for the motability scheme is around the 75 pound mark..

hope you get over the accident quick
