cloudnine Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Unfortunately my car was hit this evening as I was driving along Crystal Palace Road, by a car that drove through the junction of North Cross Road. It was right outside the pub on that corner at about 5.30pm. None of the guys sat outside the pub at the time would act as a witness (even though they watched it happen). If by any remote chance anyone else saw the Mondeo hit my white Fiat 500 (me female, two small kids in the back), and would kindly act as a witness to support the insurance claim, then please do PM me. Would be most grateful! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/7088-any-chance-you-saw-my-car-hit-on-crystal-palace-road/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemonellen Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 How scary to have a smash with children in the car. Hope you are all OK. Shame the pub witnesses didn't want to help.

char1ie Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 On the subject of car insurance, it doesn't matter if you have witnesses or not. You'll make a claim, your no claims bonus will be affected, the insurance companies will work out the claim between themselves.I think the helpful rhyming couplet of choice is, "it's a no claim bonus, not a no blame bonus." The need for witnesses would apply if you were taking legal action against the other driver.Charlie Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/7088-any-chance-you-saw-my-car-hit-on-crystal-palace-road/#findComment-227249 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Surely your no-claims bonus is not affected if you can prove it's the other guy's fault, and his insurance to pays up? Hence the need for witnesses.

matthew123 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I think in the majority of cases someone in your position would have called the Police if only for Insurance purposeshttp://www.trafficaccidentadvice.co.uk/when-the-other-party-in-an-accident-has-no-motor-insurance.html Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/7088-any-chance-you-saw-my-car-hit-on-crystal-palace-road/#findComment-227278 Share on other sites More sharing options...
