Rained overnight but brightening now.
Bit of drama with herself's daughter's car. Received a minor rear ender (steady now Stan) , cosmetic damage only and the offender's insurance have written it off! They've offered her 4k to keep it, or 5k to take it away.
I suggested she look at getting it repaired and it would be profitable as the quote is less than 2k.
Any thoughts on cat. N write off issues anyone?

Yes, as I said above, there was another vehicle , an Audi, which was dented down one side and one of the rear wheels was at an odd angle. I didn't take a picture because there was a group of young men around it shouting and gesticulatuing vigorously and I didn't want to provoke them. Even so, it's an interesting pattern of damage. There were enough people about to roll a car back onto its wheels but I looked out pretty promptly and didn't see them doing so. Plus the damage is just to the front part of the roof and the windscreen, as if it's gone under the back of an HGV as per @Wimblowdriver 's suggestion. But there was no sign of an HGV, and most of them have barriers on nowadays to prevent that happening. There was a man in a tracksuit shouting about 'a bike' having been involved, that had ridden off. It's all cleared away this morning, so we'll probably never know. Makes me glad I've got a dashcam.
Anyone asked if they'll not notify as Cat N ? you know, not write it to DVLA as such ?

Modern fones can sense yer presence. Tis not all bad. They can shout out if left behind. Eye fones have a mesh network where yer can locate yours via others, iffits oft line. Like when stolen.

Probably devalue it so no one would want to buy it laterer on. May need to check wiv insurance they will insure it in future.
I think I can see wht's happened. Looks like the Audi pulled out from a parking space at the same time as the silver BMW estate was passing, which accounts for the damage down its right hand side. The BMW was tipped onto its side and scraped along the pavement:
Took chunks out of the kerbstones:
Its windscreen and roof hit the telegraph pole - this matches the damage on the car very neatly:
And that was probably enough to tip it back onto its wheels as it came to rest a little further up where that pile of debris is. That matches the sound we heard at the time, which was a scrapy, rumbly kind of noise which sounded like an avalanche, rather than a bang which is what you usually hear from accidents in our street. The length of the scrape marks suggest that the silver car was going considerably faster than the 30 mph speed limit, but then everybody does so on that road.

Thort I was in a thread on the lower states of Merka before the civil war, just then!!Damp outside at the min looks like its going to be sunny, opened the blinds in the kitchen so see a young buck walking passed.
I have several times done exactly as you said. Take amount they have offered, get it repaired and she'd be quids in.
Once repaired it'll be fine and totally roadworthy.

Afternoon folks .
Well a lovely day here and we went to a "Toderovden"(Horse Easter) get together.
Its an excuse for a village party, not our village the nextdoor 1, we saw the horse racing bareback, but really they a cart horses so not used to the control needed. Some quite funny streeing and braking techniques on show. Had a chat with a few we knew, then decided that there was too much Raki & homemade wine being offered for the drive home, so made an exit.

Maybe her insurer should tell their insurer to fix the bleddy motor ...

Note (a) is explaining the reason why his Series one petrol distribution cap is repairable. The left hand is raised to reassure the (b) Newbie garage attendant.
As (a) has no real experience in driving, but basic knowledge from reading the paragraph on repairing Distribution cap. We can surmise (b) is left at disadvantage therefore a "Canterbury" is needed here.
Most Landyzone brethren familiar of the "Canterbury" would immediately repose straight away with a "Ledbury and Lichfield". There's a older one in Landyzone Manual not widely known for situations like this called (Inverness Googling). But recently I brought the subject up to the Moderator, who referred me to the Steam Engine section page 1567 paragraph Length of Leptwich lever arm.
Therefore only the "Ledbury and Lichfield" for circumstances like subject I mentioned earlier.
As (b) Newbie, was left with no options available a "Repton 1656ad" by (a) was used by leaving the premises.
