I'd stay out of it. I got accused of reversing into a car in leicester hospital car park, I stopped and argued that I hadn't, when she got agressive and started thumping the van i drove off. I got a visit from the police and ended up getting interviewed, I got a summons which stated if I wish to plead not guilty do not send the form back, do not turn up at court and a new date will be set. I got arrested on my doorstep for not sending the form back the day after I had a double hernia operation. I then had to go to court three time to get charged with what I thought was hitting the car, my solicitor said she had witnesses that 'saw' me hit her car so advised me to plead guilty, even though one said they heard me hit her car, one said I got out of the van, one said I didn't, one said I blasted my horn, one said she did. These witneses were taken as proof that I had.
What I infact realised I'd pleaded guilty to one and a half years later when the insurance suspended me from the company policy was leaving the scene of an accident, which was clearly not true and if i'd known I'd have never have pleaded guilty to. Even if I had hit her I did stop, I discussed it with the mental woman.
I got 280 pound fine and cost, 5 points, and an insurance hike of 1600 pound a year on top of what we were already paying.
well and truelly stitched up I was. If I knew This then I'd have gave her the 300 her car was worth in cash to shut her up.
