Get it reported, an injury is involved (SWMBO) otherwise legally you could be on dodgy ground.

never having done this before, do i just call them and report it, or does SWMBO have to do it??
i was going to let her take mine today while i cleaned hers - so glad i didnt now!!
still no call from SWMBO.

OK, i'm sorry to hear about your smash, but the bit about him shouldnt have been allowed a license cos he was looking at his radio. I'm sorry but everyone does it, no-one keeps their eyes permanently on the road ahead at any time. Its just misfortunate.

bearing in mind the crossing is less than 50 yards from a traffic island - so even at the island you can see stationary traffic - plus the fact he had his 2 daughters in the car with him..just glad they were both safely strapped in!
and as for EVERYONE does it.. erm little bit of a sweeping statement isnt it? i drive about 75,000 miles a year in my job and about 15,000 in my own time i have seen things that defy belief- women drying their hair with portable hair dryers, guys shaving - men changing shirts, men and women getting 'intimate' all whilst driving.
What had happened if at the crossing someone was crossing in front of his car?
I have seen 2 fatal accidents this week and realise that 'ACCIDENTS' do happen , but this was sheer negligence on his part.
Also as a biker i understand the importance of observation - as if to prove a point I had to visit another biking buddy in hospital on friday after he had a bad accident in his works van - broken 4th and 5 vertabrae, fractured skull ,broken collarbone, one eye has a detatched retina, along wityh assorted cuts, grazes and fractures.

I would have a chat with the police about this - I always thought you had to have a crime no from the police to make an insurance claim
The fact he admits liability now will make no differene if he decies to change his mind when the insurance co. starts getting involved - get the police to get a statement from him admitting liability to be safe
Glad no one was (seriously) hurt...............................
and no doubt someone who really knows about such things will be along in a minute to tell me I'm talking carp :wink:
