What point do you think you are making with this? At some other time than the accident she has broken a law, so you should not have to pay for the damage that you did? She’s a foreigner, so you should not have to pay for the damage you did?

.

They have a similar way of apportioning blame for traffic accidents in Thailand

It kind of makes sense over there as the locals tend to be very poor and the tourist has money so it makes sense to them that the tourist pays for the local irrespective of blame.

I am not so sure such a system makes sense in the UK though

What are these "Police" that people write about?


The last time I saw any was at the Royal wedding- and that was on the TV........

You need to go on Twitter, find your local police service and then marvel at all the lovely selfies they are tweeting, it`s unbelievable the amount of time they must spend on there and explains why they have so little time for traditional police work.
I actually feel sorry for them that their bosses think this is a good use of police time.

With some luck, you may not find your insurance goes up too much. My stepdaughter had a fault claim as a new driver, but made no claim for the minor damage to her own car and her insurance renewal (after shopping around) is very similar in costs. She was going to make no claim and just pay the other driver but he started messing around the same as your other driver seems to be doing, so I advised her to let her insurance handle it.

Call your insurance, let them deal with it would be my advice

Regardless of the repair, I'd report the non-MOT; who knows, the car could be dangerous.


As for varying costs of repairs, if there's paint involved, some repairers may try and blend it in, whereas others may look to do whole panel resprays.

You need to blend the paint even if you spray the whole panel.

You should have followed proper procedure in the first place.

That is, have a quick look around to establish lack of witnesses and then drive off.

I agree. You can report this anonymously online link. She's driving around illegally (and possibly trying to fleece you for overpriced repairs) so it's your duty for the protection of others.
