Just sat at home watching a film with a mate and his girlfreind phoned saying

'you better come home, someone has hit the van'

so we jumped into the car and rushed round to his seeing flashing blue lights and the fire brigade putting a corsa out. hmm, look at the van and all we can see is a broken window and some car parts strewn about everywhere.
walk round to the front to see a concrete bollard stuck out of the front bumper, WTF! seems the stolen corsa has come up the road at a fair speed and taken the bollard clean off and it's flown a good 6 foot before the radiator sprung a leak. trouble is, what do you do? anyone an idea? who do you claim off if TPFT? it's an 03 reg transit connect and his work horse.

 

MIB - motor insurance bureau i do beleive, untraced driver of an untraced vehicle. All insurers pay into it and it covers things like that, i think

 

quite right.MIB. untraced or uninsured driver. send off for forms asap, its a long process... oh and dont forget you, your missus, and anybody else that knows you were all in the van and you all are suffering really bad whiplash.lol

 

Everyone except the old bill that where there when they arrived

When I moved into London, My insurance went up nearly £400. The broker reckoned a small percentage was for the increase in theft possibility. But most of it was because the area's near me had a high percentage of uninsured drivers. The chance of them hitting me was higher, so I had to put more into this pot. Seems I was paying their insurance for them.

Make sure your mate makes a claim asap.

 

MIB is the way to go for you mate,You wont get 100% of the money and it will take a long time to be completed.

 

i used the MIB when soemone drove into my last scoob i paid for the repair work and they refunded the cash.the police caught the tw$t and he had to pay some.the repair was £1600.00 the MIB paid £1300.00 and tw$t face paid the rest through the courts.....good luck

 

For a Motor Insurance Bureau claim you have to know who did it; did the Police arrest the Corsa driver? You may be able to claim against the Corsa's insurance too..... (remember when the Police started claiming against the policies of stolen cars, that crashed into them during pursuits?).
