Yet another reason why everyone should have an incar camera, had a police car cut me up today and had to slam on. Can't wait for the camera I ordered to arrive, a bit more piece of mind that if someone hits my car they can't argue with video evidence.

Don't companies only keep CCTV footage for so long? Would it be worth getting a copy anyway to be on the safe side?

Bad luck and hope it all goes well

Ok how do I go about getting the CVTV footage?

It was from a Sainsburrys petrol station.

Had one cut in front of me Monday in my work van, my dash cam is a cheap chinese one so not the best picture

Had this in my daily driver for a while now- just keeps recording on a loop on short 5 min burst videos - quality isn't too bad for the price and if it gets nicked its no big loss

He was very happy to give me all his details (his address, his number etc etc) plus he admitted that he wasn't looking. From the looks of it, I felt at the time that he was ok guy so i'm guessing he won't say it was me..

All these damage cost, does his insurance pay? I'm assuming it doesn't come out of his own pocket.

his insurance will pay for your damages and repair but his renewal costs will skyrocket and include the costs there i assume so he will end up paying for it eventually

Serves him right for not looking while reversing!

Is that it? I thought from Facebook you had done damage not scuffed it lol

BUT I would be a bit wary going through insurance they could write it off for that. How much are Bumpers and Bonnets imported from Japan? Cos you know what they are like
