A fender bender after 10 years of no claims should barely touch your rates. If they try to increase your rates get a quote from a different company. My mother had a similar situation and saved like a thousand a year on home+3 auto policies just by calling her insurance with quotes from other companies and expecting them to match it.

It seems in the UK an accident is an accident and they'll take my no claims away regardless. Loss of 10 years no claim bonus adds about +£700 for next year, +£500 for the year after that and so on

Everyone is saying that I should say he backed up... But cctv.. Conscience... Etc... I just can't possibly claim that happened. It just wouldn't. Annoying thing is, happened to my mum years ago and the guy successfully claimed that my mum backed into him getting shared liability... Sucked..

So its okay for him to screw you over but not for you to return the favor?

You should pay more attention while driving.

I've been in 2 accidents which were my fault.

I totaled 3 other cars.

Could be worse.
