When i first bought my mint 02 plate corsa an idiot in high traffic hit my car from the back, lightly.
No damage, didnt even bother getting out the car.
Today this idiot hit me from behind while i was waiting at the lights.
This was hard, my car moved forward and i nealy jumped out my seat.
Was furious, got out the car, his car was damaged, lights poped in a bit.
He claimed he was on his way to the garage as his brakes where gone!
Anyway no damage! At all no scratch.
I let him go and laughed it off.
No insurance claim phhhheeeewwwww

Ooooops
Well i have just drove back to birmingham from leicester.
Its fine, i hope the "unseen" parts are ok.
Didnt want the hassel, plus im with norwich union who dont give a fuck whos fault it is.
Plus im only 18 with a 1.7 with a licence for less than 1 year - Insurance is too high for a claim.
Will get it checked ova.

even a no fault accident affects your insurance if you use your company to deal with it!

I had wiplash when i had my accident as the seat mechanism wasnt fully down so the seat went back, but the lad who hit me was only young and i was in his predicament once, the third party milked the claim so my premium rocketed, i dont like it when people do it so i didnt proceed with going for injury myself.

TBH if you been in a crash your bound to be bit stiff but these days people see it as a money maker and rightly or wrongly people are going to claim what ever they can.
