Went out on friday for a 'couple' of beers, and arrived home to find a commotion outside the apartments- a taxi had hit a car, pushed it into the one parked next to it, then driven off. Alas, it was my car. The police arrived- as the 15 year old passenger in the cab had gone mental at the driver and called them- the driver denied everything as there 'was no way he hit a car'.
The front end was hanging off the cab, the rear of the other car is smashed to bits, my damage is limited to a dent in the rear door and paint off the rear bumper, although strangely, the air con has stopped working?! Mr Policeman was polite, efficient, and an all round good guy- instantly issued my green slip, and took the driver away in the car as the passenger had thought he was drunk- not good news for him then.
So, I have my green slip...............whats next?

Was he drunk?

Last time I got one of those slips Stu I just called my insurance company, they told me which bodyshop to take the car to, off I toddled, job (reasonably) well done.
If they let you choose your own, then I would recommend SARA Autocare next to Mark / Claire's place... they've done a few jobs for me now and they've all been top work.
