I was driving my daughters car in early December because my car was in the garage being repaired.
I hit another car with a couple in it and they called the Guards.
I admitted being in the wrong (another motorist beckoned me on and I didn't see the other car). Now I was stopped in the middle of the road and only hit the other car from a car length away so there could not have been very much impact.
Anyway, the next day I discovered that even thought my husband was insured to drive my daughters car, I was not as I was only an name driver.
My husband rang the couple and explained this and we agreed to pay for repairs to their car which came to €2,200.
Then, the other day, low and behold they wrote to us through a solicitor saying they were going to claim for personal injuries even thought they know that I was not insured.
I am nearly gone mad with worry. I would not have driven to the gate if I had known that I was not covered. I even had my 6yrs old granddaughter in the car with me.
I honestly find it very hard to believe that they could have received any injury.
any advice please
