Default Re: That Filtering & Insurance Letter.

Have also just seen this.

Something similar happened to me in 2008.

Pillock driving the car decided to take a short cut on Bury new road near strangeways in manchester.

He tried to claim he'd indicated, then told the copper that his girlfriend was driving. Turned out he wasn't insured to drive her car.

After getting my costs back, as it turned my poor little RXS 100 into a cat c write off, the sod tried to claim for personal injury, and had my no claims bonus held up until november 2011, despite the fact that when it got to a pre court hearing his ambulance chasers crapped themselves after seeing two independant witness statements.

The irony was this guy was training to be a solicitor, so my accident got him banned from driving, and because of the Law Society rules on prior convictions, I don't think he'll be able to practice law either.

Wish i'd seen the case law precedent then, could have saved me an awful lot of grief.
