Cars are only impounded here generally if you have an obscene number of parking tickets or if you kill someone like a cyclist (which happened to a colleague of mine) requiring a mechanical inspection of your brakes.
Satanism..... lolll

So in all traffic accident cases the police officier's last word is, what it is (solid). Interesting. Looks like friend Jake there is safe then

Then still doesn't make sense to me why any party would need to hire a lawyer. I was convinced the insuranceCo' adjuster had a black book in hand and was quoting accordingly - in case of total loss anyway. Lawyers or not, not sure with what they could assist.

Re repairs, that's defined by the adjuster as well or they normally leave it to an insusranceCo' appointed bodyshop to quote? or is that the same..... confusing

15+ years driving - never been in any accident (touching wood with one hand, typing with the other)
