    If your wife paid for the car then she is the owner. The V5c only shows the registered keeper of the vehicle. The registered keeper is not necessarily the owner and this is written in big writing on the top of the V5c.

    Have the police been involved about the insurance issue?

    No police has been involved. All happend very quick, I even got no chance to make pictures, while he was very well prepared with phone in his hands and his friend pulled out together with us to the hard shoulder. All I did told him will see you in court.. stupid me.. I didn't know at that time that I am in full s**t as uninsured _pale_

    PS: now I'd prefer not to involve wife.. what will it do better for our family?

    Hi everybody!
    It is hard to believe, BUT I can't find a solicitor that will give me advice! Even if I pay.. A contacted about 10 different firms who officially experts in road collisions.. nobody can help - all they want that I claim injury :(
    Only one told me to call my insurance and try to get something from them.
    Insurance is not interested to loose time/money to solve that case.

    Minwhile I responded to the 3d party insurance who contacted me, but it seems they are not interested what I say (not my fault, offer to send them the photos and diagram)
    All they ask again - give then my insurance name and a claim number LOL

    I am desperate really.. I am ready to go at plea guilty to police for the uninsured driving and after that I want to go to the court against this lowlifes..
    I want ask their insurer for the details so I can lodge the claim against him in the court. Should they give those to me??
    Appreciate any your comments!
    This sounds as though you have approached injury compensation solicitors rather than a "normal" solicitor to deal with this. Ask for local recommendation of a local solicitor to assist you



    You don't need to plead guilty to the police over driving uninsured as from what you tell us they are not involved!
