Gene hunt, your user name explains it all, get back in the gene pool and try to find a few more "genes" that would actually establish you as a "human". Of course I could be be wrong, but I'm not :rotfl:

Unlike this very helpful comment for the OP.

Come on the tell us one car insurance company that covers breakdowns.

I have several times.
I've quoted from RTA, tried to explain in single syllable words and even given examples of why it's necessary.

But it's clearly lost on you.

Even the irony of your insult appears lost on you.

I give up because even if I got a lawyer to post, you'd refuse to back down now.

no out of insurance payments please. do it all through insurance, and also call the police if you suspect they have none.

The access of a private road is what is needed . For example a farm track that is being used to access a field for a function is classed as a public road for the duration of that function . As the public would have access to it , same as a Supermarket carpark , or a private road leading to say a county fair.

However if the public do not have normal access to it , for exaple they need a key to gain access , this would not be classed as a public road as you need a key or fob to gain access.

This post sounded right in my head , but will no doubt confuse someone.

Personally I think the OP enjoys nothing more than worrying about might happen, especially if her recent posts are to go by.


Constructively speaking though, I can't see the problem in the other party wanting to pay privately for the repairs but if the OP is worried about whether or not her neighbour is insured, isn't there a web site where you can check ? Can't think of what it is at the mo but I'm sure a quick search on google will suffice.

I would think the op should go to http://www.askmid.com/
and if the neighbour is insured then go through their insurance, as the repair will not be cheap, if not insured then you will have to decide what to do.

How can you say the repair will not be cheap ? I did not see where the op gave the make and model of the car and for a lot of non colour coded things a bumper can be picked up at a scrap yard ( even colour coded now seem easier enough to get hold of) It is after all only a bumper.
If I had broken my neighbours bumper I might well ask to pay it myself as it would save hassle and no claims bonus and excess etc so I am not sure it is such a massive deal someone doing the same.
After all they were putting a note on the car when it was found, rather then a bang at a superstore or some such place where no one is around to explain the damage.
