CCTV footage of bump, Access?

QuattroCalum · Sep 17, 2017

My daughter had a small bump in her car, there is an active CCTV camera right where it happened, how can I access footage anyone know or done this before?
We suspect speedingas contributory factor as the speed limit is 20 mph at this junction, can't understand how this car couldn't stop or avoid "if they were doing 20mph?"
They insisted on calling Police to deal with it despite being offered cash for repairs, Police said this was an offence to do this. Anyway, we did a check on webuyanycar and it was valued at £150. The other driver didn't have correct address on their license and could be fined for that.
The car was a real work of art, every wheel had been kerbed to death.
I hope someone can help, no injuries other than pride.

If it's an traffic camera, you cannot access it. It is only available to the police.
If it's a private cctv system installed on the building, you can speak to the management/owners but again you might be refused.

Yes, offering cash for the repairs can be offensive, in the law book but it is practiced all the time.
If coppers were involved, than it depends who was at fault. If it was your daughter, she might be charged as "driving with out due care". This will depend agin on collision circumstances, damage and if any eventual injuries were reported on the spot.
If no injuries were claimed straight away, they have 3 or 5 years of time to do that.
Than she had it. Premium will increase regardless as for the next 5 years you have to disclose this claim, accident.

No one charged, just had to exchange details and photograph each car.

Just to close this thread, the other party contacted my daughter requesting cash settlement of £300, my daughter told her she would pay £150 and she could either accept that or it would go through the insurers. Quite a shrewd move as this will save her a lot of money in the long run in insurance costs but considering the other car was valued at £150 on webuyanycar, it was expensive. All four wheels on the car were kerbed to death, you would have to see it to believe it, must've hit every kerb it's drove past/on/over/into :scared2:

If you consider it in long run, it would still be acceptable.
Although car or damage may be worth £150 but if they claim personal injuries and get it prolonged in time, she will end up paying much much more in premiums for the next 5 years.
She already will be as it went through the police. It has to be included in every renewal for the next 5 years anyway.

Whatever you or she decide to do, get in on paper with witnesses.

Good luck

The other girl contacted my daughter, she has all conversations recorded. Police only made them exchange details and take photos of damage, money was paid directly to garage doing repairs.
