That's cause your dense.


If there was no evidence of the van driver being at fault the police would have NFA'd him.

OP MrRedundant hasn't got a clue.

Not always. It may be a shock to your system but the police do occasionally make a mistake. It could well be that had this been taking further the case would have still been thrown out.

I would state and be fairly confident that the driver awareness course would not be classed as a sign of guilt therefore the OP needs to know exactly what the witness statements said.

So the police have made a mistake now?

The OP doesn't neither does anyone else as we don't know what was done.

Exactly, but the fact the driver was sent on a course suggest it was decided he was to blame else the would have been NFA'd.

OP you need to decide what to do, it will cost £80 for a copy of the police report and as suggested the no win boys will talk you into claiming for you PI.

Without using them it will cost you £80 to claim for your loss.

The no win lot wont even touch it without the police report as until they see it there is no proof.

"Get hold of the guy and tell him either pay up your £70."

This was my original plan all those months ago. To do it now, I presume that I need to contact the leasing company to find out the drivers details. Will they supply these to me ?
A couple of weeks after the accident, a no win - no fee outfit rang me up at home enquiring if I was in need of their sevices ! The only parties who had access to my number in this instance were the police and the hospital. The callers standard of English was bearly intelligble so I declined the offer.

Proof of what?

Do you know the difference between proof and evidence?

OP the solicitors if you decide to use them will obtain the report for you.

Why not ring the police and ask for his details?

When the boys in blue rang me today and gave me the above info, I enquired if I could obtain any more details such as the address of the driver or possibly those of the witnesses, (a wild shot), I was informed that the info that I had been supplied with was all that I was legally entitled to.

What about the drivers address and if you were injured the insurance details?
