Yes you can claim for everything had a driver with non licence hit three cars inclouding mine and it goes through the court but the goverment pay so to speak and get it back for the other driver by there means.

freelanderpx54:
Dangerous driving is difficult to prove in court as you have prove that the person set out to drive dangerously. Careless driving is the same. If a charge comes out of this then it would probably go as driving without due care and attention.

A more satisfactory conclusion would be to beat your compensation out of him with a pickaxe handle. Don't use them horrible plastic ones, they don't make the same sound as a nice hickory one :roll:

Range Rover Blues:
Road traffic act states that if it was the BMW driver's fault then the owner's insurance will have to pay any 3rd party liability and the owner will also be done for allowing the car to be driven by a disqualified driver, unless the owner reports is as TWOC, in which case the road traffic act covers you for damage by a stolen vehicle too but the driver can be prosecuted for TWOC, or possibly agrivated vehicle theft?.

If the car belonged to the guy who was driving and he has no insurance you will have to sue him.  Do you have legal expenses cover?

also the air bags went of so he was doing at least 18mph (as this is the min speed that the air bags deploy)

I hope you are not using the airbag deployment as the only grounds for proof of speeding.
I'm a Automotive design and development engineer and have past experince crash testing to. Airbags deploy at varying speeds depending on the type of accident as they are set of by shock not not speed. Secondly in a 100% Frontal the speed used by all the manufacturers that I'm aware of as little as 12mph
As you have a video of the incident it is more reliable to base your evidence on that.
