Spent the morning dealing with Police report and insurance claim. The other driver called me back and I was able to get her address.

When I called the Police the operator said that we don't need to make a report, by law but we wanted to be safe not sorry. The damage to the car looks minor but you need to make report for damages over $500, I don't know what that amount of damage looks like. I did notice last night that when I tried locking the car it didn't lock properly and the interior light stayed on. On the dash the boot open light was on and I tried closing the boot 3 times before making sure everything in the boot was away from the lock and slamming it closed. The only thing near it was some paper.

I am so glad that the car is fully insured, we bought it new in April. I drove my old car around for 10 years, much of that time unknown to me uninsured, not an accident in 10 years.

Having the accident brought to mind that earlier this week driving home from work I suddenly thought about a car accident. Oh and as I drove up to the roundabout it seemed I got the message to go straight through without giving way, a car had just entered the roundabout and I decided not to risk it. If only these messages were clearer - I would have left the car at home or even changed lanes.
