Not exactly what your looking for, but they might be able to help regarding the insurance claim. It's an organisation that was set up years ago for people to claim if they are hit by un-insured drivers.

Seems to me that the Insurance Companies should DO something in this type of situation. IF you can get the name/address of the person (big IF!!!) then the company should sue on your,i.e.their, behalf for reparation (having paid you, without damage to yours 'claims bonus'.

Last night on BBC the figure of 30,000 hit and run accidents per year was mentioned, half of which were never traced! So.....how many other less injurious situations,like yours here, happened. My logic says that if you get into a car, KNOWING that it's illegal (no tax; insurance; banned driver, et al) then it's deliberate assault and should be dealt with as such. Better use of police time than catching illegal parking-say-or minor speed infractions. (Ah; but much HARDER !) :yack: :tsktsk: :tsktsk:

The problem's getting the money though. A Rover driver with no insurance sounds like a scumbag without much cash. Besides which the lefties will be saying that being made all the poorer will just encourage crime.

There should be a fund for compensation from seized assets of scumbags. Geoffrey Archer's worth a bob or two. We've got part of what Dame Shirley Porter owes. Blair should be imprisoned for giving the taxpayer's money to the unions as well as allowing his brat to get drunk whilst underage. etc. etc.

I went to http://www.car-transplants.co.uk/ a few weeks ago and they had a Mkiv in dark met blue in which is being broke (don't look for parts from front end !!)

Maybe worth a try

hope this helps.

Ps - If you can find out where the Rover driver lives - pay him a visit with a few mates to say hi !!
