Op for your own sanity you need to put this to bed and move on.

She would find it a lot easier to do so if you stopped behaving in your usual manner.

So what colour was this BMW?

seriously?

give it a rest; the pictures show that there's damage to the left rear quarter and it isn't consistant with the rest of the damage from the barriers. The police have admitted that it looks like she was clipped and the recovery person who's probably seen the same damage on cars that have been hit, says she was clipped.

You weren't there, I wasn't there, the OP wasn't there... but the OP can see the car, other people have seen the car and a witness things they saw the car clipped

Wind it in and stop pecking at the OP just because you've decided that their daughter must have been at fault.. just because you refuse to believe anybody else.

Funny how her insurance see it that way tom, else why have they made an offer so quickly?

Because at the scene of the accident the plod told her that there was no contact from the other driver and she's gone to her insurance to report it and they've paid out. At the time of reporting it there was no third party to claim off as the police had sent them on their way.

So her insurance have done what she's instructed them to do.

I'm not trying to tell you that you shouldn't have your opinion but it's going round in circles. All the evidence seems to point to her being clipped, her insurance have paid out and it's pretty unlikely that anybody will ever find out exactly what happened, but there's a chance a BMW driver is wondering if there's going to be a knock at her door one day and she hasn't got away with it.

An insurance company paying out without a copy of the police report, do you not find that strange?

Not at all. Seeing as you don't have to call the police out to every accident it's a common occurance.

If the OP's daughter phoned her insurance and said that she'd spun out on the motorway and wrote her car off, would they need a police report? and have they paid out? i thought they'd just made an offer....

They want to see a police report if there is one.

This is my last comment for information only. The insurance company have made the offer but not paid out. They are still investigating. They cannot tell her if she has to pay the excess or not yet.

Good luck.
