This dude hit my audi a4 that's not up to 2months old as he approached a traffic where i was, with infinity jeep QX45 claiming the vehicle has faulty braky, no scratch b/4 the incident. The bumper was pushed 4ward by maybe an inch, the boot was forced open, condeming the panel where the lock is & denting the boot cover. He claimed he's a student, that the vehicle belongs to his neighbour & there's no kobo in his pocket, meaning i'll bear the cost in addition of pains of seeing my car damaged. At 1st I seized his BB but gave it to him after he wanted to tell me story of his life. Please if u're in my shoes, how would u feel & what would u've done? |

I am sure the vehicle has at least a Third Party Insurance so get him to contact his insurance company. They will bear the cost of you repairs... in principle! In reality, most of the insurance out there are fake. |

If you're rich enough to drive a car you should be rich enough to pay for repairs you've caused to someone else's car. Sue the bastard...have no mercy. Next time he'll drive carefully. |

@ ZIM DRILL, some of us here see the insurance u're talking about as something meant for peoople @ upper class. Economy hasn't been friendly either. You know how u sweat it out b/4 raising fund to acquire some these used cars, making the paper insurance licensing office give us the priority for sake of not to be disturbed by the police. |

You had no business seizing his Blackberry. What would I do if I were in your shoes? I would inform my insurance company, and leave it to them. I take it your Audi A4 IS insured? It must be, it would be madness running a 2013 Audi A4 without insurance. |

ZIM DRILL: if it was me i wouldnt car that he is a stdent i was going to seize the car he was driving then it would be him and the owner of the car to sort it out Urrrm, you can't actually seize a car that ran into yours, at least not in the UK. And if you sold a car to recoup your costs (assuming the other driver wasn't insured) you'll be liable for theft. There's a lot involved in seizing, and disposing of a car, lots of legal process to go through. Unless it's Nigeria, whereby anything goes... |

You know how u sweat it out b/4 raising fund to acquire some these used cars, making the paper insurance licensing office give us the priority for sake of not to be disturbed by the police. So you're not insured...that makes your car illegal. An uninsured car should NOT be parked, never mind driven on a public road. And to be honest, it's not always the cost that puts the average Nigerian off insuring an automobile. The same guys who moan will happily spend 80k on an iPhone or similar smart phone, or 90k on a laptop. Yet drive uninsured. It's more a case of misplaced priorities. And it's not just in Nigeria - quite a number of Nigerians in the UK drive uninsured. An ex-friend of mine (Nigerian) has had 3 cars seized due to driving without insurance, and being caught. This guy is from a wealthy family, his last (March 20130) seized car was a 2010 BMW X5. We ended up falling out, because I refused to use my trade insurance policy to get his car released from the car pound. Bad habits are hard to break. |

Siena: UK is out the picture in that scenario that scenario is a common one in african countries becoz the police wont even ask for insurance most likely they will just ask for the drivers licence, the rest the two drivers have to sort out themselves |

udemzy_udex: its illegal to drive a car without an insurance cover,at least a third party insurance will do. thats general knowlegde in 1st world countries but in africa is last thing to think off i here that back in home zimbabwe the police are now very stricty on it, the law has been always there but the police, never policed it but now there ever busy cracking uninsured cars, through the toll gates and road blocks they created, all the necesary paper have a part that is supposed to displayed on the left corner of the window screen |

udemzy_udex: its illegal to drive a car without an insurance cover,at least a third party insurance will do. Third party insurance is the most common here in Naija. Problem is that its as useless as a used tissue paper in the event of an accident claim. Its just mandatory for you to have third party insurance like the one we use here as part of your particulars when demanded of you by the police or other agencies. Car-Doctor. |
