    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?

    Regards, Rob Philpott.

    Enough about the Mrs. already! What about the car, is it OK? :rolleyes:

          1. ask on Code Projet. 2. report on Facebook. 3. tweet about it. 4. document it on instagram. 5. geo-localize it with your favorite app. 6. call the police. 7. call your insurance. 8. call your mom.

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

            I was rear-ended a few months back on the freeway. When I called my insurance company, they recommended filing a police report. I kind of assumed it might have a perjury-like mechanism for those who are inclined to make bogus insurance claims. Fortunately the other driver didn't fight me on it, and his insurance took great care of me.

              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.

              He's married, pretending to believe what his wife says should be old hat by now.

              Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

                It depends entirely which country your are in. In Canada (Ontario anyway) you are required to inform if anyone is hurt at all or if the value of the damage exceeds {some fairly low number}. I'd always do so (and within 24 hours) anyway. If they have no interest, they'll either politely let you know or, worst case, say "What do you expect me to do about it!" Please do make sure she doesn't have a recoil (whiplash) injury. It doesn't take much and they often don't kick in for a day or two.

                  It takes more than breasts to warp my thinking! Unless intoxicated, of course.

                    I guess it varies by country . If you are going to use your insurer then contact them and ask .

                      This! I knew a guy who was hit from behind. He felt fine, walked away from it, came to work the next day, etc. 2 days later is back was terrible, he couldn't stand up, went to the doc several times and missed several weeks of work over it.

                        Does the command "RESTORE FROM BACKUP" work?
