I find a lot of old people not paying attention to where they are going. Where I used to work I would see old people who could hardely walk or move thier hands get into cars and drive off, in the work carpark there would be at least one dink a day and I would watch them do it. See the damage the walk off and say it wasn't them if challenged. I know 'boy racers' and chavs are bad but they seem to get more stick in the press

I work in a garage and we see quite a lot of cars owned by o.a.p's covered in dents and scrapes but all they say is "Well i didn't do that" we had 1 old guy caught on our cctv drive into a brand new car and tried to deny he done it!! Even after he was shown the tape

The ones I can't stand think there in France and drive towards u about 5 feet from parked cars ! ? On the wrong bloody side of the road and usually your mirror pod ends up in bits but hey ho they don't give a flying !@#$ the insurance will cover it,, even though premiums getting harder to cover.

Insurance will almost certainly go 50-50, so source a new mirror and fit it.

I think if she was on the wrong side of the road overtaking parked cars then insurance claim should go in BADGER's favour.

You would think so, but for small claims, in the absence of independent witnesses, it will go 50-50.

And that's his ncb gone.

Just for a wing mirror?

I'd just fix it, it'll cost you more in the long run.

Having had a few prangs with older drivers......I'd be tempted to drive home with a 19 year old with two bottles of beer inside them instead of having a lift from an older driver.
