The misse's has had a bump with a van, wing mirror on wing mirror. Shes in the Volvo. Our mirror Ok, vans is broken. 1 to the Volvo.
Tha road is a narrow afair with no line markings. No witnesses, phone numbers exchanged. I get phone call saying shes had the bump. Thankfully no real harm done.
Now what would be your next course of action be, my intention is to say you fix your car and I fix mine.

Foook, that. I don't need that grief. I'm at work tonight so told misse not to answer the phone but check messages. And I'll deal with tomorrow. But still thinking tough sh**.

Anyway, I know no one is really right in his situation. But on the same note who's wrong?
What would the insurance company do??
Advice needed. P

its your word against theres, But who was moving? were you both driving or was one of you stopped?

Both driving (no road markings) = knock for knock

one stopped the other driving = person who was drivings is at fault

Paddi70

Both cars moving, and no road markings.

I presume they both exchanged their own details. If not she should report it to the police to protect against being accused of a hit and run. I think she has at least 24 hours to do that. Otherwise sit back and wait to see what happens. I think in these cases it it usually treated as a "bump for bump" incident. If you insurance contacts you make it clear that you do not wish to claim for your own mirror so as to protect your NCB.

Keep a disposable camera in the car. Can help to prove your version of events. Some people tell lies, so I'm told.
