Luke0549 Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 It looks like one of the wooden posts has bent the door sills and where the passenger door shuts, looks like it could be quite badly bent. Thats the only problem which may cost a fiar amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonk Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) Don't worry, it's not like there's a whole thread on a public forum of the accident, along with photographic evidence. I'm sure the insurer will never find out. Just a thought but what's happening with the fence damage. Were the police involved? You might have no control over the insurance needing to know. Not trying to be negative, but worth bearing in mind? Edited May 29, 2013 by leonk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 if the police trace your vehicle through CCTV it can cause you alot of trouble, i think you can be charged with leaving the scene of an accident or something to that liking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A9H-RX Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I see this on ebay. Bad times, still not as bad as mine thou.. Parts for these Zeds aren't cheap, expecially mechanical.. I racked up £65k in repairs. I work in the trade and I can assure that insurance will be paying you out for new car, she will be beyond repair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodoo Vix Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 as leon says all incidents with street funiture has to be reported as some one has to pay for it, and if you damamged it, it is your cost. Yep, when Mike wrote off his MR2, he took out the "Welcome to Woking" sign and he had to pay for a replacement, although one never was put back and probably went towards their Christmas drinkies instead lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabbitstew Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 as leon says all incidents with street funiture has to be reported as some one has to pay for it, and if you damamged it, it is your cost. Hmmmm.. i didnt know that. I wrote off a motorbike once after it bounced off a crash barrier and destroyed some fencing. I was fine, and noone else involved so left the scene to get a car & trailer to trailer the bike home. I didnt report it to anyone. Whilst I was off getting a trailer, the Police found the smashed up bike on the grass verge, traced me via the bikes reg number and after spending quite a bit of time contacting local hospitals to see if any injured bikers had turned up, they popped around my house to visit me - by which time id already cleared the bike from the scene. The police werent concerned at all about the incident or me not reporting it, as noone else was involved - they were just amazed I wasnt injured. However they did say the council might want me to pay for the damage to crash barrier & fence. But, I never did actually ever heard anything more from the council and so never paid for any of the repairs at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These days, any chance the highway authority responsible can recover some monies to pay for damage caused by others they will pursue. Part of the reason why we all have to have 3rd party insurance, whether it is damage to life or property. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
