Hexites, my mate was involved in a car accident today and as I have never been involved in one, perhaps you guys can assist.
So, he was stationary in a queue due to red lights. Car comes behind him and remains stationary. All of a sudden, he hears a yell and then got hit. Offender asks him to pull into a side road and my mate refuses. My mate asks him to park in front of him. He asked the muppet for his insurance docs and the guy said he doesn't have any. My mate told him that he is calling the coppers and got back in his car. Offender then comes and tries to open the door and starts knocking saying that he does have insurance. By then, the 999 operator is on the phone and tells him to take down the other guy's name , address and car reg. They exchange details. While on loudspaker, the muppet yells that it was he who got hit from the back instead and then proceeds to take photos of the font of my mate's car and the back of his car.The muppet says that he will repair his car but my mate refuses and tells him that he doesn't believe him.
Mate then realizes that the guy smells of alcohol. He gets back in his car and calls the coppers to report this and provides the direction they are heading. The muppet then drives off. Mate's gf who was seated at the front then tells him that the muppet's front seat passenger looked drunk and was staggering.
I have checked the car reg and it is taxed and has valid MOT. I have also checked the MID site and can see that the car is insured. However, the postcode does not match the address.
Mate has reported it online to the force website in detail. He has also reported it to his insurance company online ( Offices are closed today ) Hours later, mate's gf is complaining of neck pain and a migraine. She has used Vicks and taken a paracetamol.
Mate is also worried about protecting his NCD. His front dashcam recorded the whole thing.
Damage is to the bumper - crack and a number of scratches.
What should he do now ?
