Long story short
my son recently passed his test, earlier he was in an accident. He was going into a bend and a car came the other way and they hit. My son stopped at the point of impact the other car carried on and drove across his front, went past then stopped.
No one was hurt.
Slight Damage to the front drivers corner on his car, damage to the rear door and wheel arch on the other car. Both cars are driveable.
There is a telemetric box in my sons car.
No white lines on the road, area is very congested, lots of parked cars, residential area, other driver lives there.
he had P plates on his car
he has a witness, the other party was alone
now, as he has only passed his test a month ago will it be a "novice driver must be at fault" type of claim/blame or will the insurers take notice that if he passed his test recently then he won't have bad habits.
Anyone been in this situation before, it's worrying the hell outta him.
I've said to him it's insured, no one was hurt, can always be worse.
thanks
