Really not what I need first thing in the morning - 27/04/2006 07:49
Coming up to
this junction, I'm in the position of the red Ford and indicating to turn right. Elderly lady in her car is in place of the silver Nissan and also wants to turn right. Its clear, I go and she goes as well behind me, doing
this to my car and
this to hers.
Sigh. Anyone know a decent bodyshop around North London?

Can't you just claim on insurance? Assuming it was her fault, your insurance company should fight your corner.

It is still the hassle involved in it. Sadly, there is never a good time for this kind of thing. At least it looks like it was minor / no one hurt.
I will hold back any jokes about people driving on the "wrong side" of the road...

Yeah it was fairly minor, and I'm not too worried about it. The lady did a ridiculous manoeuvre which wasn't my fault.
Thing is, I don't have time to wash my car let alone get the damn thing repaired.

Indeed, if it's a clear not at fault accident, you can claim back any and all expenses incurred as a result of the accident. This includes rental car, taxi back from the garage, accommodation if necessary and so on. You can claim directly from their insurer or go through a blood sucking accident claim company who will add their fee to the settlement.

Thanks for the advice guys, its really helpful!
I will take some time out tomorrow and phone around to see what these companies can do for me, and ask my insurance company what to do next.

Yeah. Nice double entendre. Do they pronounce it in any radio or TV advertising?
