Have seen similar threads on here in the past and wondering if the fine folk of NSC can advise me on an car I incident was involved in this evening.
I was traveling across a roundabout whilst dropping off a friend with no other traffic in view. A car suddenly comes from the left and pulls directly infront of me without even looking. I manage to do damage limitations, break and minimize the impact. I end up hitting him in the side denting up his panels and he has completely mangled my passenger side wing/bumper. After both stopping he stumbles out (he's around 65 years old and had obviously had a drink) and had his wife in the passenger seat who just sat silently. I asked for us to swap insurance details and he mumbles he doesn't have any insurance and just drives off!
Managed to get his numberplate and car on mobile phone camera before-hand. I phoned 101 within 5 minutes after the accident and made a police report but I'm wondering where I stand in all this? Will I get paid out even though he has no insurance? Will I lose my no claims if I have to claim myself?
Thanks for any help on this.
