How do I work out which insurance firm?? RTC...
Discussion
As the title says, I had an accident (non fault 
) yesterday and have their details including policy number. Unfortunately I took a photo of his confirmation on his phone but didn't realise the company details weren't there. I was going to ring and see if I could deal direct as I've had before with a non fault claim.
For added comedy here's a picture. I'd stopped while he was still 5m off but he started swerving and there's a load of dust in the middle of the lane so didn't stop in time. His nearside wheels weren't actually touching the bank.
Any bets how it'll go? I suspect 50:50 as it's his word against mine, although his girlfriend apologised so I might get lucky.

Happened to me, I stopped, near side window in the hedge, watched as a 17-year old in a tractor with a trailer came barrelling towards me, not stopping, took out the side of my truck, took another 50 feet to stop leaving massive skid marks, apologised for “causing it”, even apologised again on a text message saying the same thing.
Ended up going 50:50 as he changed his story and there were no witnesses.
Still makes me mad to think about it today and it was 3 years ago.

How can that be considered 50:50? Presumably the VW failed to brake in time, panicked and drove up the bank to try and avoid a colision?
“I was driving at 15-20mph down a country lane when a madman going far too fast came towards me. I was convinced he was going to smash into me so I instinctively swerved to the left and ended up on the bank”. Without a dashcam or obvious skid marks on the road it’ll be hard to disprove.

I hope the fashion police turned up to arrest those trousers.
Also a comment made last night! 
He's insured with the same company as me so I've reported it and they are currently saying it sounds like the other guy's fault. We will see.
On a train to look at a replacement as I type. Sounds like an enthusiast so I'm optimistic.
