Default Slight knock

While I'm sat at the pool side relaxing on our final night of honeymoon.
We are planning our trip back home and tasks we need to do.
Collect the dogs, small shopping, washing and such.

This brings on thought of another thing I need to sort out.

My car.

As we was on our way to the airport I had a slight knock with another car.

Went through a small road work section with manual stop and go signs.
My side was green, other side was red.
I drove through.
About three quarters of the way through the impatient driver of the other car at the stop sign decided to drive through.

We made contact.
She got all abusive, I got out, she stopped being abusive and attempted to drive out while we was still touching.

I got back in, moved my car to a safe location while she caused a small blockage.

I phoned the police and informed them of what happened, they did not seem to care and said it's something for the insurance and we need to exchange details.

I wrote mine down and the wife tried exchanging details but she refused.
So I placed my details under her window and carried on our trip to the air port.

Informed the insurance company who said it likely be a 50%50 due to no evidence of her going through the stop sign.

I checked my Dash cam and it did not record anything.

So check your dash cams, make sure they are recording.

Not looking forward to claiming or getting the car repaired.

Damn, the one time you needed your dash cam to work.

Hope you get the car sorted.

Is it not an offence to leave the scene without exchanging details?

Hope you got her number plate?

It is.
But it's also an offence to refuse the exchange of details.
I headed mine over.
I have photographic
And video evidence of me doing so.

I guess it's all on her now.

See what letters we get when we get home tomorrow.
No emails or text messages at the moment.
It's a little bit annoying that I got no idea what's going on but I guess it's only been a week.

Thanks Tony.
It's only been a year in the waiting.
