Accident Exchange

Advantages: Good replacement car, Speedy service
Disadvantages: Bit cloak and dagger - dont really explain how they get your details

...Around about 6 months ago I had a car accident with a van driver and it was not my fault. My Focus had quite extensive damage to the offside of my vehicle and it was undrivable. Accident Exchange rang me about 3 hours after the accident and took some details down - I didn't really expect anything of it and didn't really know who the company were. The next morning I had somebody turn up with a brand new focus for me and I was told that I wouldn't have to pay a penny. Result! Accident Exchange went about establishing liability for me as my insurance company were truly useless. The other guy disputed liability in the incident which made me very angry but Accident Exchange persisted for me and I was found not to be at fault by the other drivers insurance. The whole thing took about 3 weeks but I had a courtesy car from Accident...

Before You Have An Accident...

Advantages: Might help prevent accidents.
Disadvantages: There are still dangerous drivers on the road.

...Unfortunately, many of the most careful, cautious, and defensive drivers in the world will be involved in an automobile accident at one point or another. This is especially true if you are living in a fairly populated area, drive in adverse weather conditions, or become momentarily distracted by things such as cellular phones or road maps. There are plenty of opinions here related to what you ought to do in case of an accident, and many of them are thorough. So, I will not bother you with yet another addition to that growing subject. Instead, I’m here in an attempt to help you PREVENT an accident. The best possible thing is to prevent accidents. This involves several different things, which I will of course describe for you in a moment. First, let me begin by saying that motor vehicles are not toys. Many new drivers...

Its no accident people use accident exchange

Advantages: Supply quality courtesy cars to people on third party insurance, great customer service
Disadvantages: may not be as helpful where liability is an issue

...We had an accident last year where another driver pulled out the wrong way at a one way street and wrote our car off he admitted liability at the scene. I was only insured third party only so when my insurance company asked if I would like a courtesy car i jumped at the chance! They put me thorough to accident exchange who took a few details etc. I must admit I was skeptical: A gentleman arrived at my address the next morning with a 1 year old vauxhall vectra parked outside which had just been valeted and serviced. I had to fill out minimal paper work, I was told no matter what happened I was covered and I didnt have to give the car back until two weeks after the payment for my car was recieved. We ended up keeping the car for nearly four months with minimal contact from them. One morning I went to the car to find someone had dented...

Review of Accident - Danielle Steel

If you have a car accident

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...I have just been in a car accident which was not my fault and I would like to pass on a few tips to drivers if they are involved in a car crash as im now going to have to pay for it myself. Tip 1. If you have a car crash and the person drives off call the police straight away dont wait until you get home. Get the make, model & reg of the car first. Tip 2. Do not trust the other person they may give you false information about themselves get proof at who they are. If you are in any doubt who they are call 999 and get the police. Tip 3. If the third party say they are not insured call 999 and get the police, if you are injured you will have to fight them in court for damages. Tip 4. Get the third party to write information down to give to you and check it is correct, then you have proof of handwriting which will...

Christmas Time…Road Rage and Wine…

Advantages: Don't be a Rager !
Disadvantages: Road Rage can Kill

...all men’. Christmas is an extremely stressful time for everyone and this frustration often shows itself on the roads and often causes accidents. It is often drink-fuelled fury, especially at Christmas, and we all want to survive to December 25th to open our pressies so think on, and bear the following in mind to both avoid Xmas road range, and prevent yourself giving it to others, and avoid being one of the xmas accident statistics for 2006. I am mostly looking at road rage as a potential cause of accidents in this review with a few other things thrown in. What is Road rage…Grrrrrr! Road rage is the irrational surge of anger towards another motorist - has many different causes, such as tailgating, cutting people off or the "theft" of a parking space. Studies have shown that drivers consistently overestimate their own...

An Own Goal For Rubber-Neckers!

Advantages: Great start to a novel
Disadvantages: Ends up being predictable and sickly sweet

...Over the last few months, I have been noting down the titles and authors of any books that sound interesting, after reading reviews of them on Ciao and Dooyoo. This now means I have a pile of some twenty or so books borrowed from the library and friends, that I want to read. So the other night, I was flicking through some, to see if there were any I could happily drop and return unread. I considered Accident by Danielle Steel. I have read several of her books before. Some have been really good (Mirror Image, for example) but others have been awful (Summer’s End), so I doubted I would be missing anything special. Just to check out my suspicions, I began to read a couple of pages. Before long, I realised I had read over a hundred pages – almost a third of the whole novel! So I persevered and finally finished it today...

Review of Accident - Danielle Steel

  Make Allyson Wake Up Mummy

Advantages: Draws you in and plays with emotions
Disadvantages: Gets too familiar

...At one time I had read most of Danielle Steele’s novels but after a break of several years I wondered if her writing still had the power to draw me in and absorb me when I saw Accident on the bookshelves. We start off playing happy families with 39 year old Page, 45 year old husband Brad and children Allyson 15, Andy 7. They live in San Francisco and as far as Page is concerned everything is near perfect, her marriage, children and lifestyle. So much so that she wonders about having another child before it's too late. Suddenly as is typical in Danielle’s novels their lives are torn apart one dreadful Saturday night. Allyson sneaks out on a double date with her school friend Chloe and two 17 year old boys Jamie and Phillip. It is Allyson’s very first date but knowing that her parents won’t approve of her...

Review of Accident - Danielle Steel

What to do, when

Advantages: Be prepared
Disadvantages: You can never really be prepared

...I'm not a lawyer, an insurance assessor or a police officer but I have, sadly, been involved in a number of accidents during my driving life. My experience has been as both the responsible party (sorry about that) and as an the innocent party. I have also been involved as a driver of company and private vehicles. If you are thinking that I seem to have had a lot of accidents, I should also say that for a period of years I was travelling in excess of 60,000 miles per year in connectin with my business. It is a simple fact of life that the more time you spend on the road, the more opportunities for accidents arise. The most important thing after any accident is to record as much information as soon as possible. It is surprising how quickly details can be forgotten, if they were ever known. Here are some of the things that insurers will...

I live in a bungalow with my loving husband and my loyal dog Pebbles,who i have for 8 years and been there for me in ways i can not say , i have a son, aged 21 who is a father of two, Tiffany and Joshua. I feel fortunate to have met a wonderful man like Keith as i am a double amputee, due to a car accident which happened 5 years ago at which time i thought my life was over.
