If the damage to your vehicle was on the right hand side of your vehicle, then like it or not, it would appear that the BMW had already executed enough of the overtaking to be passing you prior to you moving out. I don't think you will have any success with the insurance company reversing their decision.

Car Accident - other party insured with same company
crem replied to Blade83's topic in General Motoring Issues
C.G. It is not recommended within the forum that conversations are taken off the board to private messages. This is the case for 2 main reasons, 1 is that private advise might be inaccurate or misleading and by being in the public forum other members can comment if they disagree, and 2 the advise may be extremely good and helpful but is now only aimed at one person when many in the forum could benefit from it if it is shown in the thread. -
Accident at work didn't want to claim through insurance
crem replied to Sapike's topic in General Motoring Issues
As it is a lease car, the owner will have had a "quality" repair done with no regard to keeping the cost under control. You are definately going to need this to go through your insurer. -
No ticket left and wrong street name
crem replied to Mark Zabel's topic in Local Authority Parking and Traffic Offences
I'd be surprised if PATAS wouldn't accept the spelling of "Breaton" as being an allowable minor mis-spelling of "Brearton" particularly if no road exists with the 1st spelling. I would say taking it to adjudication would be very risky if that was the only defence. -
As I said, for small items that would be the case, but for larger, I'd be surprised if they agreed. eg they will be happy to sell you a loaf of bread marked up as 69p instead of 99p. But if a TV has been marked at £3.49 instead of £349 I doubt they will be so willing.
-
not actually true. The sale isn't agreed until the checkout so the shop could point out the error in pricing and allow you to consider whether you wish to continue with the purchase. Generally for small value items such as grocery goods they tend to just sell it to you at the marked price for good customer relations, but for higher value ticketed items they will probably withdraw it from sale to be price corrected.

As Jamerson says, the glass was unlikey to hurt the car so he could have rolled through it safely. If he didn't wish too, if it were me, I would have got out and pushed the glass out of the way with my foot rather than leave my car 1/2 in the bay and 1/2 on a double yellow, that would have taken all of about 10 seconds to do looking at the little amount of glass on the road.

It may feel "safer" for you, but it is not safer for other road users to force them to use the 3rd lane of a motorway un-necessarily and create the situation that 2 other vehicles travelling at different speeds are now shoehorned into the same overtaking space because you choose to waste the very expensive available space on the nearside.
-
Are you sure you can get a free tax disc? Reading the DVLA help page it states that the car would have to be for the sole use of the disabled person. Is this the case for your ar? https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-exempt-from-car-tax

Whilst it's true that we are not allowed to take learners on motorways as yet, (they were consulting on it last year but it seems to have gone by the wayside), the rules of the road don't suddenly change when driving on a motorway as opposed to a dual carrigeway. As Aretnap states, you should always return to the leftmost lane after completely an overtake, and this is how pupils are taught when travelling on a dual carigeway. The same rule applies to motorways be they 2, 3 or 4 lanes wide. Just because they have not been taken on a motorway whilst learning is no excuse for not understanding that basic rule.

Either don't reply at all as there is no requirement for you to do so or send him a brief "see you in court" letter.
-
Doing it on line would also mean you can't drive it for a further 5 or 6 days till the disk arrives. If you take the paperwork to the post office they will give you a disk there and then

A year! There must have been some complication with it to hold them up like that. Mine took about 2 weeks and that included them having returned the application initially coz my doctor forgot to put the date on one of the pages.
-
The letter is far too long and totally irrelavent to the s172 request. To be honest, I couldn't even be bothered reading right through it and I doubt the court will either. You were asked a simple question, they want a simple answer. If you need help to identify, then as several people have suggested, a polite request to provide any photos they may have that show if it was a male or female driving should be all you send at this stage. if the photos don't help, or they don't send any, then the onus is on you to sit down with your wife, think carefully, and come up with a definate answer as to who was driving within the 28 days allowed. Waffling around can land you in a whole bigger lot of trouble.

Help needed about a high pointless kerb in private car park
crem replied to riauk10's topic in General Motoring Issues
I don't think the OP was meaning shall he claim off the car sensor company. More like is there a duty of care against McDonalds for an inappropriate design of that section of car park. I would still agree a successful claim would be difficult, but that would be the direction of the claim I am sure. -
Only if it is being driven directly to or from that booked MOT

Possible unfair parking ticket
crem replied to Garreh's topic in Local Authority Parking and Traffic Offences
Double yellow, single yellow, and I assume double red lines apply to the entire roadway which includes any footpaths or verges to the side of the drivable road surface all the way up to the boundary of the road which is usually something like the private houses garden wall or the pub boundary wall in this case. -
Car accident/ Quote higher over the insurance?
crem replied to meth23's topic in General Motoring Issues
I think the value of the claim only comes into it if it is fairly substantial. Something like 10grand I think my insurance company mentioned last time I was moving companies. -
doesn't prove she has any "driving experience" though. For all they would know, she may never have been in the driver's seat throughout the entire 20 years.
-
My wife hasn't had a car registered in her name or personal insurance policy for about 20 years as we share the car and I organise the insurance on it. How would you expect her to "prove" she has had 30+ years of driving experience?
-
No it's not a lie in that you past your test and drove throughout the following time span in the "normal course of your daily life". i.e. to work; to the shops/school; social trips; holidays etc etc. Can you tell how any normal person would offer any further proof of their driving experience?
-
If it is "privately owned" by the boss, then presumably the s172 has arrived at his home (or place of work) within the 14 days from offence. You therefore, must have only started working there within the past 2 weeks and of course can't know who would have been driving the car. However, an s172 requires the RK (i.e. the boss) to notify the police of who was driving on that occasion so it is down to him to find the info, complete the document and send it back. Why has he passed it to you to try and find info that you don't have access to?
-
Well to be perfectly honest, if I had held a licence for 11 years I would have told them I have 11 yeears driving experience also. There will be very few drivers who can "prove" their driving in any greater detail than matching it up to their test date!
-
How long was the policy running? How many payments had you made? Were these payments on time? What additional info did they ask for? Did they not say this info was required at inception of the policy?
-
On what basis are you still making this assumption? Did Halfords tell you they only removed the old oil with a dipstick pump? Them having done so is most unlikely and, from their point of view, totally stupid as the time taken to do this would be far greater than just taking the sump plug out and letting in drain in about 2 minutes flat!
