Anyone had an accident and they refused details?

A lady reversed into me today with my two kids in the car causing not major but damage to my front and dented and multiple scuffs removing the paint.. she refused to give me details. I haven’t gone thru my insurance as the payments high as it’s always going up now but I have reported to police as it’s an offence. I was just wondering if I would get anywhere with the police dealing with it?

Do you have her number plate? If you do, the police will just tell you contact your insurance. They can get her information through just that x

Hopefully you took lots of photos they can search via number plate 👍🏻

@Lara I have it all on dash cam thankfully. It’s just I don’t want to go thru insurance for minor body work that’s my only issue x

@Francesca have it in dashcam thankfully x

If they refuse to share details it’s actually classed as a hit and run so i would think the police will certainly be getting involved

@Jen I just hope some sort of punishment for her comes from it. Even worse my two kids in the car and first thing she says is ‘I’m pregnant I have an appointment’ but looking back now I don’t believe that with the way she acted probably not insured to use the car

You’d think if she’s not insured she’d want to sort it out without involving police or insurance! We had the same happen to us when my boy was tiny, it was only a small dent but the man was so rude about it we absolutely rinsed his insurance & it cost them something like £5-6k😂 ours only went up a few quid when it renewed x

@Lara exactly! I said we can settle a small figure or give me your details and she just refused and got in the car and drove off! I wouldn’t mind if she was polite but she was so rude! No way that’s so good! I am considering it but my insurance went from £60 to £90 this year due to ‘cost of living’ and I haven’t ever made a claim☹️
