• A postman in an unmarked rental van has hit Mrs Hammer’s car - no injuries fortunately but what looks like significant panel/door damage. He’s offered cash, not sure why as it’ll be a pretty hefty bill if anything underneath or the rear wheel is affected.

  • As he will get in trouble or borrowed the van while not officially supposed to.

    But then I have paid to get damage repaired as cost was less than admitting an accident on my insurance for the next 5 years and the associated premium loading.

  • His manager called and gave details - apparently Royal Mail self insure so it’s a bit different and their solicitors will contact us.

    Mrs Hammer has also called insurers (admiral) and they’ve offered a policy claim (with excess) or ‘no fault claim’ through auxillia (no excess)... Not sure what the best option is tbh!
