Havent heard anththing from him. he was getting some quotes and letting me know. all hes worried about it the car being written off. so i decided if it has bent the floor i will buy it for what it is insured for and break it for bits :D

As for stopping quicker they are the tyres that were on the van :wink:

They should judge the speed and distance they need to pull out, if they cant do it then hows that your fault?

Going too fast and not paying attention :!: :wink:
If someone was that slow pulling out, you would have hit the front of their motor if you were that close, or you would of had time to avoid them.
You'd have to be breaking the speed limit to hit them in the back :!:
