Sauntering to work this morning and rear ended a merc that indicated to take a corner but slammed on brakes way before the junction instead. I realise that I should have left more braking distance but the road seemed to disappear before I rear ended his boot door leaving a big scratch. Upon inspection my front brake cable had separated in the caliper hence why I didn't slow.
Swapped deets with the driver, it's a company car, but the guy is insisting I need to pay.
Legally where do I stand? Should I solicitor up?
Ruined a good commute too, right glute properly smarts and I'm feeling really sorry for myself 2/10
Nought you can do about that 'mot'. Happens. All drivers take that risk when getting out on to the roads. Hand it over to insurance and reeelllaaaax! Maybe some Arnica and ale for the bruising!
Advice please peeps
