Just cannot believe my bad luck. After 4 days of ownership, driving home this evening a Ford Transit van reversed , at speed out of a side road and hit me on the nsf. The damage is extensive and I think a new door, new rear panel, new alloy, possible sill damage may cover it.
The only good thing is the other driver admitted responsibility and rang his insurer on the spot to report the accident and his fault.
My worst nightmare scenario then came as I rang the insurance company. They couldn't have been better. Fortunately, One Call are only brokers and I'm with Commercial Legal who say as a non fault accident it should be dealt with within 24/48hrs and a courtesy car delivered as well.
I need to find out where the car is being repaired as I believe I still have a final say on where it goes despite the insurance company saying otherwise.
What a bl00dy mess and none of it my fault!
