are the main events we go to, have a natter with gtrnav too, as he hillclimbs a 172 (currently mid conversion into a cliopreza) down here.
I'm really struggling to see the logic of going from a 1.2 to a much more expensive and thirsty car in order to save money?!?
Especially as it's being MOT'ed then replaced.
Sadly, whilst you can't really get whiplash at 5mph, the insurers still have to pay out for it because the minimum threshold is something like 3mph.
And yes, they won't pay £10k if they only have a slim chance of winning, if at all. It's much cheaper and safer to pay out. If the OP demands that...
However, such an 'injury' can develop a few weeks after the accident. In which case the police don't have to get involved.
Someone's trying it on me too, although I think they've left it a little late at 6 months. :headno:
You'll be bent over, and then the insurers will slip it straight up. It'll hurt at first, but you'll get used to it eventually.
It's not like they make any effort to fight false whiplash claims either.
I don't see why the Aston will be replaced if it can be repaired much cheaper. It's the responsibility of the owner and insurer to mitigate cost. You can't just inflate the price of the claim by demanding a new car when your current one gets a bit dented. Especially as the 3rd party isn't...
Could be that he's taken the spare wheel out, that thing's heavy.
Plus if you put 97ron petrol in (along with some of that NOS Octane booster they sell at halfords) that gives you extra power too.
