    Not personally, but I know someone who was, and her insurance paid out for the third party and chased her for the costs.

    Yup I rear ended somebody 5 mins after my Dad handed me the keys of my first car while I was on a provisional, I paid it all out of my own back pocket for an easy life, hard but very valuable lesson to learn :o

    The father knew exactly what he was doing, should have listened to him, he is always right :rolleyes:

    Yes, I was involved in an incident with another car which was my fault when I was driving alone on a provisional back in 2008.
    Guards came to the scene and said nothing to me - just took everyone's details.
    Told my insurance company and they settled with the other driver for about €3k of damage to his car and that was the end of it.
    Lost my no-claims bonus but that was it.
