"My son wouldn't claim on his insurance as he'd lose his no-claims bonus which is a lot of money."
Post 16 or thereabouts.
The son's probably going to suffer a loading anyway for having the accident.
I trust the son is not hoping to settle this on the quiet and claim to the insurers not to have been involved in any accident? :cool:"Now to trolling as a concept. .... Personally, I've always found it a little sad that people choose to spend such a large proportion of their lives in this way but they do, and we have to deal with it." - MSE Forum Manager 6th July 20100 -
If you left your car on the train track, you'd go to prison. OTOH people expect that leaving their car/bike on the road, it won't be damaged. Flat on the road is not perhaps normal, but still this is not really comparable to leaving an egg in the middle of the road and expecting it to remain uncracked.
Until you've established if its a public service railway or a private heritage railway I don't think you can honestly say that and be 100% correct.
Heritage railways don't enjoy the same railway byelaws as the public service railways.0 -

Years ago when learning to drive, the instructor asked me to pull out of a parking space at the edge of the road.
I put the car into reverse to give myself more space and he said I would have failed my driving test for doing that.0 -
Or perhaps the insurance company after being informed of the accident by the son, have instructed him not to contact the paperboy's parents further or make any admission of guilt or discuss it on the interent.
Also perhaps the father of the paperboy reported the son of the Op to the police and the police are now deciding whether to press charges for careless driving.0 -
If the bike was left lying down in the road I wouldn't have thought they have any claim. If it was on a driveway or footpath that would be different.:j Trytryagain FLYLADY - SAYE £700 each month Premium Bonds £713 Mortgage Was £100,000@20/6/08 now zilch 21/4/15:beer: WTL - 52 (I'll do it 4 MUM)0
