So you weren't stopped and they drove into you as you claimed initially. Not being funny, but this is a point worth noting.

It’s not really a point worth noting. Do you think you’d register wether you were doing 0 or 2kmph whilst someone ploughing into the front of your car ?

Their initial statement was absolutely false.

You could get a motor assessor to look at your car for a few hundred euro, they investigate the damage, angles of impact,etc. They then make a report for you, you could also show them photos of the crash

I think you will find that the statement of the other party was the false one.

It was actually deliberate lies, as she changed her story when mammy arrived.

This has now been proven in law by the insurance companies and 100% liability awarded against the other party.

If you brake a car to a stop and the impact happen when the car registered 2km per hour then it is very likely that you will think you are stopped. (also 2km is the last recorded time, so there still may have been time to come to a stop before impact and the next speed reading recordef, so maybe the op was in fact stopped.)

You should go out and try to drive your car at 2km and no more. Chances are you cannot.

Not necessarily. Just because the car recorded the impact at 2km occurring doesn’t necessarily mean the car was moving at 2. The scan/sampling rates and way data is stored can affect recorded result. The calibration of speedo wouldn’t be very accurate at extremities of the scale either.
To all intents/purpose the car was stopped and that would be the perception if I or you was the driver.
