Hit and Run advice

Hi all. A while back I posted some questions about how to deal with a hit and run. The post seems to have disappeared somehow from the forums! 

Anyway, I wanted to give a follow up in case it's helpful to others, since some people told me it was a lost cause.

My wife got hit by another driver who sped off - but my wife got her license plate. We only have third party liability coverage.

We reported it to the police and had to follow up with them a couple times. It took about 2 weeks of the police calling the other driver to get her to come into the police station, but eventually we got an accident report from the police with a claim form from the other driver's insurance.

Fortunately the other driver DID have insurance - not sure what I would have done otherwise.

I took the form to the other driver's insurance company's garage and got the car fixed for free. It all worked smoothly. Good luck to others :)

Whoever thinks I made a racist comment that is your problem. For me it is not, rather it is a reality. Explanation already given. Now go figure and dont keep proving how dumb some of you are. I know, no need to prove it again and again. Duh!!! And BTW I am myself an Asian, an Indian to be precise.

Friends, Being his or her has very less importance than someone's narrow mindedness on the human divide on the base of their location.

Racist, negativity, hijacking, blah blah...some people are lost in understanding the terms same as they dont understand the 'Like' and "Report' buttons and simply press them for the heck of it. But going by the standard of comprehension and undertanding of most on QL, I dont mind. And now I am a 'she'...rofl ...:)

sole means basis of a human being = soul .

Why do people get upset when they get reported ?

Instead , do some sole searching.

Keep your focus on the forum & avoid hijacking it.

HGL you have been blessed with one 'report' for your comment ! :)

dont worry its not me, i have just liked your comment...its the usual kid on board who likes to press 'report' and 'like' button thinking its his PSP buttons...:)

To whomsoever...dont misuse the 'Like' and 'Report' buttons if you dont understand a comment properly (which obviously you dont)...keep your fingers in your pocket if the itch is too difficult to contain...:)
