Dont see why any of it would matter TBH, what happened was wrong, yes.

But chances are if you have a clean licence, 30 years safe driving and no accidents, your less likely to be the driver that's dangerously overtaking and speeding.

Cheers for the comments everyone. Didnt sleep at all last night worrying about it

also, haven't you had an accident before with a moped? if so, you gonna go through insurance again? will push your premium up loads with 2 non faults on there. mine has.

As long as the claim wasnt your fault and they recover the money in full then it should have no effect on your premium

If the above applies and they have still bumped your premium up then I would move to a different insurance company

It does - when its one persons word against another, a judge is more likely to side with the more credible party (i.e. experienced driver with no blemishes on his driving record)

If it goes 50/50, you will be able to claim 50% of the cost of repairing it from the other side

Your insurer wont touch your car with TPFT cover but will cover the cost of his repairs (depending on the liability decision)

All the insurance companies I have worked for and on behalf of have worked in the way I previously stated - why would they penalise you for something that was not your fault and has not cost them any money? Thats the theory behind the relevance of premium pools to claim spend

They obviously load your policy when you put down you've had a claim, go and get me a quote showing otherwise.

How can you work for them and not know that?

My gf's insurance has actually gone down this year. Even after some cunt hit and run her car and she had to claim off her own insurance, obviously wasnt her fault but insurance still paid out.

Obviously not going to disclose that

Premiums are based on so many different variables, the most important being that the insurance company use the claim spend from the previous year and use this to forecast and tier their premiums accordingly. Obviously, not having to pay out for a claim = less claim spend = lower premiums

Were you some sort of analyst for them, that looks like some complicated reasoning.

Right now, go and get a quote, get the price, then go back and amend that quote with a non fault accident and see if there is any difference.

Exactly...

People seem to think that if they have had a claim and then their renewal comes in and has increased then it is automatically due to the fact they have made a claim

Classic case of 2+2=5...so many different variables

Just been on Direct Line (not who I worked for) and the premium did not change at all when I changed it to say non fault accident/recovery made

Obviously different companies have different processes

I wouldnt entertain a quote from an insurance company that I knew would penalise me if I had a non fault/recovery made claim
