    Can anyone tell me what you're supposed to do? Some bloke has driven into the back of my wife's car (which was parked with her in it). They've exchanged names and addresses (presumably for insurance purposes and not extra-marital liaisons). Minimal damage but probably will need garage attention. Now what's supposed to happen?

      I would suggest you report it to the police, and get an incident number. You then contact your insurance company and give them all the details including the police incident number. Or, you could contact your insurance company's help line and ask them.

        Report it to your insurance company. He drove into the back of your wifes car so it's technically his fault and his insurance would have to pick up the bill

          He's responsible, just fill out the form together with him, and bring it to your insurance.

            Well when it happened to me I remained where I was until the ambulance came to take me to hospital. The car waited for a man in a transporter to take it away for scrap. However, just phone up your insurance and tell them what has happened. They will tell you what their process is. You claim from your insurer, they recover the costs from the other driver. Sounds like there should be no liability on the part of your wife so no increase in premiums / loss of no claims and so on.

            Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

              The first thing you have to do is try very hard to look like you believe the woman driver when she says it wasn't her fault.

                      for all the responses. As suggested I will ask the insurance company (Admiral in this case) for guidance.

                        Don't report to police unless there has been a crime act.

                                It's always worth it in case the other party tries to blame you, as happened to me some years ago.

                                  Don't know exactly. Don't get me wrong, breasts are a fine thing the whole time. They just have an almost mystical allure after of a skinful of Belgian finest. Maybe I become more northern when I drink, or something.

                                      Driving into the back of a stationary vehicle is almost always a traffic offense, most likely driving without due care and attention. You also have to report a traffic collision to the police if anyone is injured at all (or any party fails to stop). Reports must be made within 24 hours.

                                      Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

                                        Can anyone tell me what you're supposed to do? Some bloke has driven into the back of my wife's car (which was parked with her in it). They've exchanged names and addresses (presumably for insurance purposes and not extra-marital liaisons). Minimal damage but probably will need garage attention. Now what's supposed to happen?

                                        You need to fill in the european format of the accident form which you should have received from your insurance company. (one of the two involved is enough). Make sure to fill in ALL the details including the checkbox if there were injuries. You each get a copy that you have to deliver to your own insurance company. They will sort out the rest. Just bring in the car with your insurance company´s details. hope that works for you.

                                          Well done BTW to all those involved who managed to move the conversation from car crashes to the combined effects of booze and breasts...

                                          Regards, Rob Philpott.
