So this is why Police stats re accidents are looking better! They don't attend non injury accidents, therefore they do not get recorded at all as having happened.[/quote] More than likely, although in my experience the Police have been semi non-functional for some years now. People just don't realise because most only call on the Police for assistance rarely if ever so assume them to be efficient, pro-active and polite like on T.V.

Go to the police station and file a police report for the crash. Then insist on filing a police report for harrassment - for the threats being made via text. All good grist for the disputes tribunal mill. Keep all texts/correspondence.
P.S.Are you sure it was a friend driving!Probably the owner, or one of the owners, and they were trying to get out of paying for the damage.

And with them both being drunk, them having insurance wouldn't have helped you either.

Poverty has nothing to do with liability. Judge should not let someone off just cause they have no money.They are still liabile if guilty and the collection of the funds then becomes the next step in the chain.
Was it Court or the Disputes Tribunal!

Yea true about the insurance not covering them so it would not have changed my situation any. It was Disputes Tribunal that let them off

Written off simply means it's uneconomical to repair as in it would cost more to repair than to replace. It's not something only insurance companies can decide.

DT explains a lot.IMHO you should have lodged an application for rehearing.

Sounds to me as if there is no dispute so therefore the DT was the wrong place.
