To do so, all it will achieve is to waste police time, which these days is scarce. There is nothing the police can do - it is your word against the other party's as to what occurred in the case of "minor accidents". If you wish to file an accident report, most forces make it possible to do so online. Other than satisfying the above conditions, if the other party refuses to reimburse you for your losses it is a civil matter and you will need to take the party to court with your own witnesses and experts etc. |

Its only a little dent, so carry on using it until your ready to make a decision. From the photograph it does not look unsafe or illegal to use. |

I too had my 75 wrote off as a cat C after a woman reversed out of a space into my car. there was a slight dint in the wing and wheel. The bills for repair were obscene that the insurance were quoted (as i had the summary of what was needed). The problem is they have to use new parts and that included a new wheel. These parts are not cheap. we ourselves could do it for £100 total but there price was£900 + and they my car was worth £1500 so i accepted and bout it back for £120.
Took it straight round to the M.O.T centre and back on road next day without any need of a repair. The guy at MG specialists laughed when i asked him if he could point out the cat C damage as he never noticed anything. Try and ask them to cat D it instead. It will not make any difference on your insurance but just the value of the car. |

They initially wrote the car off, either way would have caused a lot of inconvenience. That's been overturned now.. the damage is nothing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
