Briefly, I was involved in a RTC, i.e. someone is to blame - I learnt that on the DD course
We were both breathalised and I obviously failed and was charged.
Not long after I received a letter from the police stating that the other driver was 'sufficiently at fault for causing the collision' (no mention of my DD charge) and has to attend a drivers course etc.
I was banned, sold my car and cancelled my car insurance, who were actually very nice and helpful.
But today I got a letter from them saying the other drivers insurance company "have offered 50/50 unless we provide dash cam footage. They state they will not take into consideration the fact their driver was put on a drivers awareness course unless we take into consideration you (me) were arrested for drink driving, charged and license revoked. Please could you confirm this"
Firstly I already had told them that I was charged and when lost my license. Secondly, I do not have dash cam footage. I know the police do as they obtained some from 2 different sets of witnesses who both said it was not my fault given the speed she was driving on a blind bend.
What do I do? How should I approach this? I am gutted. Genuinely thought I could try to move on having had such a major a learning curve, but it's seems I am not yet done learning :-(
Any thoughts/ ideas would be much appreciated, as right now I really want scream hysterically at my insurance company.
