Address is something I do have

Have been trying to call him and offer to cover the costs based on a main dealer quote (€1800)

Haven't got through yet but will keep trying. In case he refuses to pay, I'll go the small claims court / MIB route. Whichever is faster :(

He will pay, one way or the other. Don't care how but he will

I do not want to hear about him having to support the family and having no money. Should not be driving uninsured in the first place!!

PS! if you guys want a laugh - think I haven't mentioned but a short description of him goes like this: 30-year-old Romanian Nazi, on a scooter

Why Nazi? he had a swastika tattooed on both of his ears:rofl:

He's probably on his way back to Romania now the little s###!

Ok, the guy is not picking up when I'm trying to call him. Have tried from 3 different numbers. Sent him a text a few days ago saying that I'm expecting him to cover all costs and if he won't be in touch with me soon I'll have to go to court.

Looks like court it is then. Have been waiting for over 24h now. What a cu*t !!!

Don't send him a repair bill, send him a copy of the bill along with three other quotes and get a friendly lawyer to draught a letter demanding payment in full or you will pursue the matter through the legal routes available to you.

Also make sure you get the police references and the court case details so you can use that as evidence in your civil case

You do have to wonder why people want them to f**k off when some of them cause issues like this. I'm sure that majority are fine, but as with any group (English included) it only takes one or two bad ones to get the whole lot a reputation.

Yeah, I would like to go that route but it's simply about me not being able to afford the repairs at the moment :(

Looks like I have to stop using the car for a while as the service is due & this hit dis some damage to the front axle/suspension. The handling is.....how to put it......french?? Can't feel the road at all :thumbdwn:

Why wont the police do anything for you?

****es me off that the uninsured/taxed/licensed simply get a slapped wrist.

Don't forget to add an amount for loss of use of your vehicle to the claim against the bloke then.

Couldn't agree more :thumbdwn: I think they should be:

a) shot at scene

jailed

c) made pay by law!!!

Nice bit of advice

Taken into consideration:)
