    Absolutely delighted that you're going to come through this with a positive result tbh!

    Hard to believe how many times she has denied hitting your car at this stage. Even after someone came out to her house to inspect the car. Has this woman not seen CSI? Paint transfer etc. If someone admits to their mistake then, as you said, fair enough. But she's really dragging this one along for a long time, for no ones benefit, least of all her own. Apparently the maximum punishment for having no insurance is 1 year off the road and a nasty fine. I hope the judge for this case is in a really foul humor when she arrives in the door!

    thanks :)

    what I find is weird is that she denies hitting me, and yet still allows the assessor to look at her car. If I was accused in the wrong, I wouldn't be taking any calls from anyone except the guards.

    My feeling is you needn't go looking for sense where she's concerned.
    This will resolve well for you. Just a pity you've had to wait so long while she avoids the inevitable.

    I wonder where she's getting her advice from...?

    LOL at the insurance fraud ad popping up for me on this page, given the topic.
    The bots are after us...

    Maybe she's going to try and say that a recently emigrated friend/relative was driving it at the time.

    if her insurance had just lapsed by a week or so and she just renewed it then they will usually back date it...dunno would they if you had had an accident in the interim though...

    I doubt this very much. She did not produce her documents to the gardai so I would say she is not insured.

    Checked that - registered owner is responsible.

    The driver is responsible for the accident not the owner, the owner could be charged with allowing someone drive it without insurance.
    It would be up to the owner to say who was driving it, the only way out of that is to report it stolen, too late for that now.

    She had just made things worse for herself, The guard will do her for not producing her documents as requested.
    I would say she has no insurance and was trying to sort it with her insurance company with no joy.
    I'm interested to see how it finishes up.

    The owner is vicariously liable. The driver is deemed to be the agent of the owner. Both can be sued and should be.

    I was partially wondering how you can leave a note for the driver of the parked car saying what happened, and your details, and also not admit liability.

    "Dear person, your parked car leapt out at me as I was passing - I put it back in the space for you, and here are my contact details."?

    Is that a statement of the law or opinion vis a vis a principle?

    How far would you take it? Would a finance company as a legal owner under a hire purchase agreement be liable? How about Hertz? I can see an employer being vicariously liable for the wrongs (torts) of its employees in the performance of their duties or a principal for the actions of its agent but the owner of a car for the actions of a driver which it was not controlling? Bit of a stretch (both in law and principle) IMO.

    Explain to the guard that there is a whole lot of people waiting on tenderhooks for the outcome.

    In fact ask the gard to update this thread!

    I have a feeling we're gonna be disappointed lads. Either the guard won't be there, or she won't have done anything, or the other driver won't have been home. Not long to go, I'll be back!
