The woman in the Q7 had far more important things to do than interact with riff raff like you wife.

Charming, really charming.
You obviously do not get irony!
Did anyone else spot any irony? No me neither.
Surely it wasn't meant seriously though...smile
I think Willy Nilly was, in a long winded kind of way, suggesting that Q7 drivers were self important @rseholes. His scenario was therefore in support of the OP. Well, thats how I read it anyway...
I would argue that following an RTA, and all the attendant consequences, a post that is supposedly 'ironic' is as welcome as a learner driver in a grand-prix. I'm sure that it was not serious, but Irony should have a light touch, unlike the willy nilly post which was a little hard edged.
The intimation that Q7 drivers are of a certain mental capacity, and probably coupled with a chav plate, is most likely correct.

Why do so many threads get taken off topic with pointless and childish arguments?

Whether or not it was sarcasm or irony or inappropriate is really not worth arguing about, is it?

Back on topic, if that's allowed, keep us updated OP.

Isn't PH a discussion forum?
That's what we do. Discuss things. Yes, it goes off topic, But that is PH, to the widest possible parameters and beyond.
Pointless and childish? that is in the eye of the beholder, but I wouldn't want it any other way.

Don't be surprised if your wife has a stiff neck tomorrow - Mrs p was rear ended some years ago & it wasn't until the following morning that any physical symptoms were apparent. 6 months of physio followed.
Report to BiB.
Notify your insurance company.

If you're wife gets whiplash it can take longer than overnight to start. I had a whiplash after falling from a horse, they symptoms developed a few days after the fall.

Make sure you inform your insurance company are fully aware of the potential injury.

Discussion and petty squabbling are very different things. Imo PH is a much worse place these days for too much of the latter.

Not much of an update, but...

Mrs Justinio has been to see the BiB and formally reported the coming together. She's going to notify her insurance company as, just to cover all bases.

I've had a look at her car, and there is some damage to the rear bumper (panel gaps are all misaligned now).

An interesting point she remembered over the weekend. There was a van driver who leant out of the window and sarcastically said "oh dear had an accident have we ladies" (very useful, well done matey). But then he said to the Q7 woman "maybe you should get off your phone and concentrate on your driving".

Unfortunately my wife was in a bit of a flap with all that was going on and failed to get his details as a witness.

Depends

If there's no damage then there is no point going through insurance.

You'll just spite your own face and pay increased premiums.

Just a quick update.

We had a letter from the BiB today telling us that "after consideration, it has been decided that no further action will be taken".

Sounds like leaving the scene is considered to be one of those "Italian laws".

We had a look at Ask MID and got the insurer from there.
