I was involved in a car accident two years ago with a young speeding driving. I was coming out of James Cook Multi-story car park in Middlesbrough, coming to the give way sign I stopped. Looking right then left and then right again seeing that nothing was coming I started to put my foot onto the accelerator pedal. Only for my sister to shout my name to stop. I did an emergency stop only for the young driver to speed pass taking my full front bumper, two headlights and the radiator with the two parking census left hanging. I set the Dash-Cam footage to Ageas and a week later they got in touch with me informing me it was my fault even the Financial Ombudsmen came down in the insurance side adding the car was still moving and as I was coming out of a side it was my fault even though you could see he was speeding and since then Ageas have informed me it's my fault and admitted Yes we could see he was speeding by the frames going through. He even claimed Whiplash injuries , even though there was a small dent in his car. The dash cams you have to be careful. I had stopped and both the break and clutch pedals were right down on the floor. But because it looked as though I was still moving. It was my fault. I had a sore and bad lower back for months and it took me over eight weeks to get back behind the wheel and drive out of town. The young lad and his two mates got straight back into his car and drove away
