    would kind of expect that from a pakistani like urself (btw this aint racist- im a decent pakistani)
    .... dont u have any shame. and for crying out loud, the experience must have been traumatising but u knw people die due to medical errors, dont see them putting claims in. if ur so desperate for the money, get up and work.

    Lol get what my dad said to me yesterday when we were looking at cars on autotrader.. 'These are too expensive, should we crash into someone and put compensation in, and have a few people in the car?' , i said 'yh' lol. Was so random for ma dad to come up with a plan! And yeah il work, find me a job in this recession then Pudiyavani

    But yeah, if anyone even crashes into me lightly (even 5mph) il put a claim in for everything i can think off, everyones insurance premiums are going up, unless everyone stops all this crash for cash culture, then they'l go down. If one person doesnt claim, not everyones gonna stop. So yh, any chance i get, il put a claim in. My uncle always puts a claim in and theres always a pay out. Im going to be doing the same at any chance i have.

    To the OP, dont listen to the trolls on this site. Go for it, you have pain in your back, remember the advice i gave you about the whiplash (rollercoasters and hardcore bumper cars) and all that. You'l be fine, you can use that money towards your car insurance, and lol the text from you instructor can show that he was waiting for this oppurtunity! Who wouldnt! Good luck with it, and ignore all the other advice they're giving you on this thread, your back hurts, someone needs to pay for the pain and trauma!

    Pm if you need any tips about the claim and all that

    Insurance premiums are sky high because of people like you and your foreign uncle, who claim for the sole purpose of financial gratification..
    Trust me, insurance is a nightmare :/ ! Insurance premiums are going higher and higher and higher. We cant do nothing about it.
    its the claim for crash culture thats on everywhere. If one person stops (like the OP) and doesnt claim, then that wont make any difference to our premium. If everyone in the UK stops, then we might see something. She can get a payout of a couple of thousand, the accident wasnt her fault! She's suffering trauma and back pain.

    And my uncle isnt foreign, he's born and bred in the UK, pudiyavana

    It wasnt your fault at all. You had an accident, someone hurt you. Your suffering from trauma and whiplash, why shouldnt you claim?! Go for what you think is best. If you do claim, say you'l use the money to get back therapy and treatment and massages. I swear there are so much stuck up c**** on TSR

    Went this morning and confirmed that i have whiplash in my lower back and is likely to get worse before it gets better.

    And told me ive got to keep mobile and not rest too much because it will make my muscles stiff.

    And yes, its not nice to have an accident especially when your a learner

    Whiplash in your lower back, that must be a new one for medical science, you can get referred pain in your lower back from a whiplash injury, but the whiplash would still be in your neck.

    Seen as my doctor told me this morning it can affect all your muscle down from your neck to lower back then no,

    If not then argue the toss with the doctors, solicitor & instructor

    Seroiusly youve been such a dick all throughout this thread and it doesnt even affect you in any way shape or form

    It doesn't affect anyone on this forum, but you still posted it here. If you're going to get all tetchy about the replies maybe you shouldn't have posted it.

    Talking about being a dick, coming to find out about making a claim before finding out about your back would seem like a slightly dickish thing to do, contradicting yourself and lying about the accident would seem like a slightly dickish thing to do. If you think pointing this out makes me a dick, then that's your opinion and I'll happily take that honour knowing that I'm not a liar or considering committing fraud.

    Not sure what the pictures would prove, I'm not disputing you were in an accident, just that you have clearly contradicted yourself about the details of the accident.

    I never said you were clearly committing fraud, stop twisting my words.

    She insinuates one thing and does another and her story changes to suit her mood. Men be careful when dealing with women as most are all like this. She's playing the victim card, but who knows if that is true either! I think that she stopped suddenly on purpose just so she could create the accident from the woman who was driving behind her in the car, you know for some holiday money in time for the summer or whatever. Now its back-fired and she's playing the poor me card for sympathy and she'll now be in pain all summer; that sounds like what really happened. She an attention seeking dick by twisting people's words and considering committing fraud and contradicting herself and no-one knows what the truth really is at all, its quite pathetic really and I really think she owes us all an apology. I know a lot of women who are manipulative, deceptive and devious like this however there are a lot more who are absolutely lovely. She's crying 'wolf' and luckily women know what girls like this are like!

    Now she'll get all upset about people not believing her, but can you really blame us?
    Yep clearly lying i am all to get money so i can go on holiday.

    Yerhh because i suddenly slammed on the breaks so the car behind me would slam into my instructors car.

    Well really why would the other parties husband ring my instructor to settle it without insurance and tell us thats the second crash they've had in a short space of time.

    And if you actually understood the rules if the road, then you would understand that you should leave enough distance between you and the car infront incase they do have to break suddenly for any circumstance.

    If you drive into the back of a car for ANY reason then its your fault no matter what you were driving without due care and attention.

    And thats coming from my dad whoes been on the roads since 1960!

    An apology who do you think you are, **** off mate!

    Seeing as he must be pushing 70 or older I guess it dispels the myth that with great age comes great wisdom, because he is wrong.

    Really mate? How long have you been driving?

    And yes he's never had a crash caused by him only dicks drive into him and hes an example

    How about when he was drove into the back of at 30mph whilst he was stationary and an officer saw the entire accident and the other person involved was at fault, that was coming from an officer.

    How about you read up on the highway code then come back highlighting as to where it is your own fault when someone DRIVES INTO you.

    I am not talking about your accident or your dad's accident, I'm talking about your generalisation that 100% of people who drive in to the back of people are at fault, that simply isn't the case. And I think you should read the highway code if you actually think it contains a section on who's to blame for an accident.

    Gheez give me a break it was my fourth lesson today.

    My instructors insurance company are contacting me again on Thursday

    And i didnt say i WAS claiming. I said SHOULD. Theres a difference.

    Why do you think the company are ringing back on thursday? To know if i have any injuries which may not appear straight away? If i do then even they told me i could claim.

    And no im not "one of these people who are turning our country into a claim for anything like america" because ive not done anything yet?

    Im still a learner driver for **** sake, your as bad as the complete and utter trollop that ploughed into us.

    You should claim if you incur any costs as a result of this, or lose any earnings.

    Go and see a doctor, if they refer you to a physiotherapist then claim for the cost of that. If they tell you to take a day or more off work then claim for that, but if all that has happened is a bit of pain and nothing more then no you shouldn't claim.

    Prehaps reading the bit on "driving at a safe distance" may help you understand?

    I have to wait to hear back from the solicitors to go to phyiso because it has to be done through them and not my own doing.

    No - you should not.
    It was not your car so you don't need repayment for repairs. And you are clearly not seriously affected by it, by claiming becuase "your back is a bit sore" you are doing two things;
    Turning this country into a claims nation like the US,
    And adding to the rising insurance premiums that are going to hit you when you try to buy a car.

    Adding to insurance premiums when i can insurance fully comp for £600 per year is hardly expensive.

    Clearly said "whip lash" which does effect your back too ya know, everyones got a spine and muscles.

    So? I pay for the car when im using it. I was driving at the time it happened.
