HOLD ON -Driving in flip flops !!!!!!  :eek :eek :eek im sure her insurance will have something to say about that. I had all symphy for this girl but it is fast dwindling

My thoughts as well. Inexperienced driver and driving in flip flops?!?  :rolleyes

For insurance - how does it work in the UK?
In Serbia, if it is another driver's fault 100%, your premiums stay low. At least the obligatory insurance that pays damages to other people when it is your fault.

If someone damaged my bike and weren't willing to pay for repairs, I'd go with insurance - what else is there to do?!
Would I accept cash for the price of repair using 2nd hand parts? No, I'd get that from insurance - I'd expect at least about 30% on top of that.

I had once hit a car, braking the rear signal light of the car, when I was young and inexperienced, first few months of driving. Paid the man what he had asked for - not wanting to bother with the police and thought it was the most decent thing to do to compensate him for the inconvenience. It was about 100 euros, but that was half my monthly wage at the time. My father had confirmed it was a fair thing to do, even though he was sure the price was "inflated". The upside for me was avoiding fine from the police and keeping the insurance costs low(er). Also, knowing the insurance is a bother and often takes months to pay for the damages, making sure the man doesn't have more inconvenience because of my fault was the least I could do.

A (brand new?) Audi at 20 years of age...
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
