Hi guys
I was involved in an accident today in my 2001 320d
I was driving today down a narrow road in the streets of northwest london.
As I went up this stupid driver was coming from the other side, there are cars parked on either side of the road and there was a gap for her to go into.
However as you know there are some people who are quite stupid or are just plain stubborn and I had to reverse all the way down the road.
As I go back we exchange words and in the end I wish her luck in learning how to deal with other cars on the road.
As im stuck in the corner of the road for her to go past, another car comes down and is stuck right next to me. We both move off really slowly.
3 minutes later I see a car flashing me constantly, so I stop the car and get out.
He tells me Ive just hit him, I said where? he comes out with a flash light looking on his car and we find a 3cm graze on his bumper, then we look on my car and i see a long line about 10cm on my wheel arch.
I said its nothing i am worse than you but no he says its a company car give me your details. we exchange and I say to him how do you know you didnt hit me and he begins to get a bit aggressive which I ignore and carry on taking photos.
I realised now that I was driving straight and he was turning right so it was him who would of hit me there was another person in the car who was also shocked to hear of this as we would of both at least felt it, I have rung my insurance and reported the incident, as neither party accepts responsibility they said its likely nothing will happen and we both pay for our own.
I wont be reporting it as im happy to go down to halfords for a touch up pen where as this plonker who has nothing compared to me wants to claim on my insurance.
As I was looking at his car i noticed his alloys where scratched like crap! So i mentioned this to him for him to get the idea that hes a crap driver where as my rims where unmarked.
I will update and post some pics soon
cheers

if it was a bit further down the road then there would have been.
