so there i was after droppin my girlfriend to the train station yesterday morning..was making my way back home and as i was driving down the main road this car just pulled out in front of me coming out of an estate..he didnt even look..i had to swerve behind him and back out on to the road but the car kicked from behind me and lost control...ended up over the other side of the raod up on the path.. the two front tyres blew...i got out and te pr**k drove off...he caused me to crash...i ouldnt believe that he just drove off...2 people got his number plate so i reported him to the gaurds...and what help they were..a bunch of lazy gits..like what do we pay them for......anyway the steering is shot ..in order to drive straight i have to turn the s/wheel to 5 oclock......it got some smack off the path.................
now i need to go and get an estimate for this ...it's going to be some job now finding a garage to fix this.......can anyone help ?

You need to report it to your insurance company and give them the numberplate and the details of the report to the guards (who took the statement and when etc) and let them chase it up. This is the case even if you only have 3rd party cover. The insurance companies have a lot more clout then you do.
