If there is no personal injury, there is no requirement to provide insurance details at the scene. Details (insurer, policy number) must be given when a claim is made, but there is no need to produce a certificate.

In the case of injury, the certificate must be produced at the scene or at a police station within 7 days.

The current law has been in place since 1988.

You said it's no longer required by law, the law hasn't change has it?

Ok thank you, he hasn't contacted me once, so that's why I'm worrying. If he doesn't go through insurance my passenger will be paying, so that's OK.

If he does go through insurance, I won't be driving next year, just can't afford it. It really sucks, especially for something so minor that wasn't really my fault

It isn't your 'fault'. It is, however, your responsibility as the insured owner of the vehicle.. At 19, you'll find that such things happen a lot in life. But there's no point in worrying about something over which you have no control.

It will be if the other driver goes down the insurance route.

If I was you I'd stop trying to contact him, if he's decided it's not worth bothering with he might change his mind if you keep bothering him.
