last and final update on this thread .
today rwe received notice from our insurance company that the case is being closed . and my wife is copping liability for this accident .
due to the fact that the other driver and owner involved have refused anything to do with this incident .
the insurance company have sited lack of evidence .
whilst they sympathise and believe our story the police have no interest in persuing these matters .
the insurance company told us that this is very common and happens everyday . without witnesses or injury , one party can simplly denigh he was involve or even there and that will not be challenged by any insurance or police dep.

I am very sorry to hear that. Really irritates me that people can get away with stuff like this.

Id ask them to print you a copy of your insurance policy and then tear it up, get a refund and take your business elsewhere.

A solicitor gave me advice on a very similar incident once and advised not to go near them - let the Insurance company deal with it. By you going there you could be seen as harassing the company!

A family member of mine was involved with a hit run by a drunk moronic driver in a BMW, after doing a burnout and coming off of the curb, he hit my old ladies EF. He then drove off, & went home, when the police caught up with him, turns out he was ****ed (he claimed he was drinking at home for the 30 mins he was there prior to the cops getting there), the car was un registered, and he was unlicenced. Turns out WE had to cop the excess despite having a full police report, witnesses, etc and the family member involced was not moving at the time, was at the lights waiting for it to go green. Also took CGU 6 months to sort all of this out for me to finally get my car fixed, and for them to waive the excess. Many Lessons Learnt.
Feel sorry for you mate so good luck.

yeah the law just is not right .
