Advice needed, Hit by a Stolen car with false plates - No insurance

[mad pierre]

On Monday I was making my way to work after the hol's. I had been sat on the light on Red on Greenland Road Sheffield turning tight on to shepcote lane. When the light changed green, On crossing the opposite side of the dual carriageway I was hit by a speeding car ( Information I have up to date was a Ford Fusion ). That had just done a Ram raid in Sheffield and was on the the, Hence going though the Red light and hitting my car. My Clio is now a right-off. And i'm having to have time off work. Of corse I've got servel injuries, Swollen wrist, Pain in the waist are from seatbelt. Battered knee from hitting the dashboard, etc. Now I don't want to get shafted over this as it was not my fault. I've been told about the motor insurance bureau. But been as this is a busy forum, Just asking for advice.

Wow at least your 'ok'. Could've been a lot worse.
As for insurance I'm know some insurers give extra cover against non insured drivers, and as such you don't have to pay excess or anything. What have your insurers said? I would also imagine that the police would back up your side of events as they would be looking for the car and drivers because of the ram raid.
Good luck, fingers crossed it gets sorted for you.

Insurers have said i'll get my excess once there talked to Police over it, However there did say it be a long ass thing over 6 month's.

My mate was hit by an uninsured driver, he had to pay the excess initially but then got it back.

Wounder pal. Glad you got out with nothing too serious.

I assume the police caught the w*****s?
The Clio's demolished, a Ford Fusion is just a big Fiesta so I assume it was equally fucked and un-drivable??

Jesus

When you said hit I was thinking a little love tap, that's a whopper!

Glad you're okay

The other driver did a runner, Hence Police are dna testing it.

As above, an uninsured driver is covered by the MIB (sadly Will Smith isnt involved), you should also be able to claim compensation for time off and injury, so keep lots of records and get everything documented (from employer and doctors visits etc).

MIB, but there will be an excess. But I'm sure that won't matter too much in this case.

Wow that's a fair old shunt, Glad your ok. Not got much to comment on the accident side but there's a lot of uninsured stolen cars round there.

I was a victim of a road rage assault last year from someone driving erratic and tried to cut me up but didn't let him in. He got out and twatted me through the window and I ended up in hospital. Police got involved, evidence from passing dash cams, was on false plates so never caught him. was an white Astra convertible showing as a black Alfa on the registration.
