:sad:
So unluckyness has struck, after only a few months of ownership and only a few hundred miles driven a couple of kids have written off my 996.
Driving along a country road in some places very tight for two cars. The van up ahead of me pulls up, I stop about 20 foot behind, immediately a golf fly's up infront Of The van, stacks it into the high verge to avoid the van, gets airborne and rebounds landing into the drivers side front corner of my stationary car. All airbags fire in his car, van drives off. The kid, 18/19 and his passenger are a little sore from airbags but not injured. I am fine, the 996 is totalled.
The kid is insured, I get recovered on my Insurance and get the car back home. Engineer reported a total loss today, kid driver is saying it's my fault, I assume he's going to try to get compensation even if it goes 50:50 he's going to get a payout?
I took photos Of The accident scene showing positions of cars and damage to verge where he launched up it, but not the van as it went immediately. I'll try to post the photos later tonight, I have not given Insurance these photos yet..
Am I just screwed? Any advice on this one chaps?
Needless to say a dashcam is being bought for every car, would have saved much upset. I kind of feel disgusted by society that this is required. Maybe I'm just nieve in today's world.
