Insurance want to write my car off. Typically for very little money.

I am glad that I do not have a car with all the problems that they bring.

+1, the expense and the 'Oh, what's fcuking wrong with you today, then?' aspect would tip me over the edge

While I would love a nice car, I really do not have much use for one. If really needed to drive anywhere I can always hire a car or if I needed one more regularly I might join a car share scheme. Most of the time I get anything and everything delivered. I only have to walk out the door for fresh fruit and veg and diary items which can be bought locally. Anything else I need I can order online and get delivered. While some might think I am weird for not having a car I do not have the expense and issues over insurance.

Hmm.. Do you have to use a satnav all the time when you do drive? Is setting off then forgetting where you were supposed to be going ever an issue?

Never really used a sat nav. If I am driving to the airport to collect someone I only need to follow the road signs. That will get me to the airport without a problem. It is usually only the last leg of any journey that I will need to use a road map. If worst comes to happen I can use my iPhone to locate myself and then program in a route with one of the apps. I passed my driving test only 6 weeks after my memory loss. It was all in there and so the inability to make new memories was not a problem.

Get comparable quotes to show it's worth more, I got £1100 for a car I paid £800 when it suffered about £1600 worth of rear frame damage in an accident

Well Glass's say between £1985 and £2345 and on Auto Trader you're looking at between £1800 and £2000 but of course it varies on mileage, etc and there are a grand total of 4 for sale in the country. Mine has a full service history, low mileage and is very good mechanically but a bit of light damage to the front bumper so I was expecting closer to the Glass's upper amount. They've come in at £1645.

I said no.

Still waiting.

As it's a rare car I suggest getting it valued by a dealer if you know one, condition matters a lot as well as mileage so the perceived value could be higher.

I'd also push for a courtesy car if you haven't already (same size as yours if possible, when mine was written off I wasn't old enough to get the size I drove), it's amazing how quick they change their price when they are paying £50 a day for you to remain mobile

It's itchy foot time of day

I got a courtesy car. Had it since Wednesday which is more surprising they're dragging their heels.

crazy and probably shocking video? skip to 2:35 is recommended,

The question is, what led up to the driver breaking the biker's leg? Was it purely an accident, did they provoke him, or had he being acting like a tit?

If it was purely an accident, then I'd probably have chased after him for fleeing from the scene of an accident and tried to stop him. Then he runs over a bike, probably worth over $10K, I'd definitely want to make him stop, until police could arrive and arrest him.

What happened after that is inexcusable.

I believe the rider is in Police custody.
