Car Accident Update

Update on the car accident that wrote off my car earlier this year.

My neighbour finally got an estimate on the repairs of her car. Hers is the only car that survived the crash, and she got away with a damaged front spoiler. Costs about £1500 to repair.

Total costs the other side will have to foot:
Value of my car (written off): £3000
Value of the car next to me (written off): £2500
Value of the car that both our cars got shunted into (written off): £1500
Repair of the damaged car (sole survivor): £1500
Hire car (45 days @ £75 per day): £3375

Total Costs: £11875

Training in Quarantine – Day 141

Decided to go a different route today, to go past a house I might be buying.

Slightly narrow roads, and a lot quieter, but means less likelihood of my car getting wrecked, since there’s also a parking area in front of the house. Someone would _really_ have to try to wreck my car using that setup — they would have to go through a brick wall and other cars to wreck my car with this setup. Also, since this is a house not a flat, I could potentially get a plugin hybrid or full electric in future and get a charge point installed for around £500. But that’s assuming my Yaris gets wrecked, which hopefully it won’t anytime soon…. :)

Training in Quarantine – Day 139

Another grey and rainy day. Found out that even though I didn’t renew my FitBit Premium subscription, some videos on the FitBit app are free to view, so I checked out one of their abs and core videos. At only 15 minutes it wasn’t long, so I thought “oh, it can’t be effective then”

My abs and core begged to differ with me afterwards…

Hire Car 6

I thought with the Hire car collected, this incident would be closed. I guess not.

The insurance broker contacted me to ask me to complete a litigation questionnaire. From the sounds of it, the other side is resisting the costs, unsurprisingly.
