Just me in the car, not protected no claims no, I expect my insurance will probably go up to about £300 now

Another car, unneccesarily stopping because of car on other side of road, but still my fault.

Unlucky, I done similar in November last year, 1st 'proper' crash since I started driving in 1999 - though mine cost 3.5k

Person in front of me pulled out at a roundabout, I seen them go then I saw my space & hit the gas, only to turn my haed to find the car that pulled off had broken down & was about 3 foot infront.

Shit happens man dont let it get you down!!

A car was reversing out of a driveway onto the road on the opposite side, the woman in front stopped and I was watching the car that had reversed out, no skid, brakes applied, not enough room to stop, crunch.

It's what insurance is for I know, but it's the inconvenience more than anything for both me and the person I bumped.

You might be lucky in that they don't take all your no claims off you. When I had a bump, they only took two years off my NCB.

All sorted out with insurance now, I got a courtesy car coming tomorrow at 9am til Monday, then the garage is coming to take my car away for repair and give me another courtesy car for as long as the repairs take

£250 excess is what i'm looking at.

I'm insured with More Than> and credit where credits due, they have been really helpful

looks an easy repair from what i can see.

inner wing, outer wing, headlight, grille.

as said, why would you not protect 10 years NCB

Coz my insurance is so cheap, and when I asked the insurance company, they said it may go up as little as 50 qudi, taking my premium up to around £290, no drop in the ocean to be honest.

Weekend drivers. I nearly got hit twice on the same roundabout today, then followed a van which was doing 15mph in a 40 for some reason, then had countless people do dodgy manouvers earlier on today. I don't know what it is about the weekend, but people forget how to drive
