My wifes dad wrote someone off a few months ago, gave his details and offered a cash settlement, and never heard from them! We assumed he either lost
the details or wasnt driving legal so didnt want to push his luck.
My friend had a bad smash at some lights, wasnt planning on claiming for anything til the other driver tried to blame him - the insurance wrangled for
months, whilst the courtesy car was adding up cost, til the other driver got charged with dangerous driving - by which time the hire car bill came to
£6000. His vectra (the write off) was worth £600! He got a few grand for minor injuries/discomfort.
