Lady ran a red light at an intersection, i drove into her. Police just happened to be passing by.
My car is a write off, she drove hers away.
The airbag didn't go off [disappointed by that], I didn't eat the steering wheel or ought but still..it's not like I get that many chances [i'm odd that way].
Insurance man is telling me about whiplash, compensation and such. I'm only a little headachey hope it goes away.
Going to have a memorial service - it's my first car.
Also going to join the AA - these whomever is closest type recovery services are absolute shittery.
All in a very odd day.

You need to claim for the fact that it's turned you in to a Merkin

"intersection"? I think you mean junction.

Claim before it's too late and you start talking about pants instead of trousers!

macabre much! - sorry no pictures. I was too busy running around with a clipboard collecting witness details I forgot to pose for a few.
I apologise unreservedly for the 'merkin; I am however as it turns out quite foreign.

Why does having a crash turn you into a pubic wig?

For a non fault accident these guys are excellent:

We've had the misfortune to have to use them twice and their service is second to none. It also speeds up the other insurance company's actions.

Helphire only speed up the other insurance companies actions because they charge something like £135/day for a 1.1 fiesta.

Don't join the AA they charge you 120 quid to recover your car after an accident, RAC do it for free.
