[jac1791]

renewed????

Best to be done right away,just incase.

Pal got 3 points for speeding did not think to tell insurance, collision 3 weeks later, would not pay out as not told of points - vehicle a write off, expensive cost to speeding. 28 years driving, first time caught speeding and first collision.

The other car only had a broken light!
Elderly person backing vehicle onto main road (with no view!! and no assistance!) and in between two cars too, that is what elderly person says always does and traffic stops to allow him out.
Pal hit elderly persons car then hit strainer on fence across the road.
Pal said it was lucky it was the family second car, would have disliked it if it was the new family car.
Elderly person paid for their own damage.
