Dad called up this morning from Dubai to inform that his Audi 80 got rear ended by a Camry last evening, as he was waiting to take an U-Turn, ofcourse, with his indicators indicating the same. The Camry was driven by an Arab national and conveniently uninsured. Dad was buckled up (which he always does), and as a result suffered no major injury except probably the shock and the impact of being thrown forward. |

Then you take it to your insurers and you dont get a penalty charged if the claim was on account of a green slip. I'm surprised they asked for a quote from the dealers - all they would do is give your Dad a green slip and the other chap has pretty much had it. The rest is taken care of by the insurance co and you dont really have to worry about it. I doubt if the fact that your mom works for the medical wing of the police has anything to do with it. They are very impartial and I have seen an accident where a cop as a civilian (not in uniform or on duty) caused an accident and got the rap that he deserved. He was a Captain, and the police sergeant wrote out a red slip for him. |
The Camry, according to my dad must have been doing speeds of upto 80-100 kmph. |
