Many thanks for reading this ,
On 4th December i touched the back of a van , i was in first gear in traffic doing aroun 2 mph . Now hands up i was over limit 44mg not much but however over , I had a look at back of van with driver and could see no damage apart from reflector fell of . This month i have had a letter of intent from his solicitor . I must stress at this point there are no injuries . However he has taken his van to a proffesional garage and the bill was £2.400.00 ,,
now obviously i cant proove this didnt happen , also his solicitor/insurance has said mine probably wont pay as i was over the limit ?
now here is the serious part they are charging me , well claiming against me £10,000.00 ? or if i pay them direct they will reduce this to £7000.00.
i dont know what to do , i really did go up the back of wrong person , as said i was so close to limit ,, they are going out to ruin my life .
Ive got my punishment , ive lost my licence ,
Like i said to my wife , maybe ten years ago a drunk driver hurt one of his friends or a family member ,, now hes found someone to take revenge on .
My life was upside down anyway what with one of my siblings being terminal ill , cant visit him now and was already feeling life not worth living .
Now ive got this ( PLEASE can anyone advice me )
thankyou so much Jim
