The correct response again was "yes of course I checked my blind spot"! The thing is, nobody actually specifically remembers all of these things every time they do them really do they? Don't actually lie if you know you didn't do something, but at the same time give yourself a bit of a positive outlook.<br /><br /> I'm not convinced I do a blind spot check for every right turn actually, I'm more likely to trust my mirror observations that I'll have been doing from a while before the turn. Hmm, might have to fix that!<br /><br /> edit - the thing about the value of your car is still going to apply by the way - get yourself armed with some prices on the same car in year, mileage and condition (yours was of course A1 before it got driven into) and you'll be OK.<div class="edit_text">EDITED: 1 Apr 2015 10:53 by MILKO</div> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41449.14&return_msg=41449.12" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41449.14"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41449_15"></a><div class="message" id="message_41449_15"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: ANT_THOMAS<span class="message_time"> 1 Apr 2015 10:52</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Peter (BOUGHTONP) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 1 Apr 2015 11:15"></span></span> <span class="message_count">15 of 54</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41449.15">41449.15</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41449.12#a41449_13" target="_self">41449.13</a></div> <div class="message_body"> <div class="quotetext"><b>quote:</b> <a href="messages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41449.13">Peter (BOUGHTONP)</a></div> <div class="quote"> <p>However, I just had a call from the person representing the other party, and they've accepted liability.

They don't usually pay much, but they are going to bang you (YJ) for Unrelated Prior Damage anyway so you might as well get some back.<br /><br /> Also, here if the insurance company makes what an owner feels is an exceedingly low settlement, they can be forced to provide a "like kind and quality" replacement at their cost. That can be a bit of work and research to them so sometimes they just ask for a number that works for you. Make it a thousand pounds higher than what you feel is fair. I hope your head is OK and the young lady also suffered no ill will.
