[no way Jose]

hey james I bet you would be the first one to curse at anyone who would act in such a way towards you. you would be the kind of geezer if you ever happened to damage any of your customers' property deny everything if not caught red handed . i have no respect for individuals who put money above everything.

i would have stopped and left details every time.  the karma thing...  you do pay a price for cheating people or doing wrongs to people.  the price is you feel guilty...

much better to pay up and know that you are a good person doing a good thing. you can sleep easy then

You must be constantly stopping with your track record with vans

I have had 4 wing mirrors smashed in total on my van. In only one of the cases did I actually witness it, but in all cases the culprits just drove on. Says it all about society these days, people do not give a **** anymore and are all about themselves.
Sure its only a wing mirror but at £30 - £40 a time it adds up.
If you really have to think twice about it, don't come on here whinging when someones reversed in to your van and driven off etc. - it could happen and how would you feel ?

Why have you got 4 wing mirrors on your van? An accident waiting to happen that is.

I clipped someone's bumper last year.
I was honest, found out where they lived, knocked the door.
Told her what I'd done and offered to pay for it.
A mate of mine is a Nissan body shop tech.
It just happened to be a Nissan I clipped.
Damage was absolutely minimal, tiny split in the bumper.
The bitch I hit, refused everything I offered.
And wanted to go through insurance so she could screw them.
All told, got over £2k's worth of work.
And I lost some no claims.
I was really angry.

Would I stop again? Yes.
Would I offer my insurance details willingly? No.

would be interesting one poll this.

You should have stopped and left details, you can't predict how the other party will react, but in the eyes of the law and morally you have done the correct thing.

Yeah, I'd've always felt guilty if I'd've legged it.
I just expected (not expected but you know what I mean) that the owner would react in the same way I would.
Van driver crashed into me 2 years ago in the snow, my van was less than a year old.
The fella looked distraught. I went out of my way to help him. It was a genuine accident.
Same with me and this woman. I'm over it but was angry at the time.
I think people should help people rather than just money grab.

Nor whining about customers that cancel on the day.

[Arnold Palmer]

Was it just money grabbing though?

Some idiot was overtaking a tractor while I was coming the other way. We both slammed on the brakes and were all but stopped by the time we collided. His Beemer cost him £50 to fix, I agreed to a nominal amount (£500 or something like that), thinking all I needed was a new bumper, steering rod, headlight and recovery costs. I did the repairs myself.

Next MOT time and I discover the bearings, half shaft and hub need replacing. If it had gone to an insurance approved garage (or worse - Land Rover themselves) repairs would have been more than £2k for sure. As it turned out I lost probably about £200 trying to be fair with some idiot who was overtaking when it wasn't safe.

Sometimes it's better to do things right. That's what insurance is for.

The wing mirrors on the old piky wagons must be strong.
