So, due to the M1 being closed near and around Northampton last night, I decided to take the back roads home, as Google Maps was saying it would be over 1 hour to drive one junction!
While on my way I was waiting at a roundabout, then to my surprise someone came straight into the back of me! but not only that, he was coming at so much pace, he pushed me into the car in-front of me!
At first the driver of the car in front of me got out and asked what I was doing, to which I just pointed behind me to which he realised it wasn't my fault. We all pulled over and shared insurance details, we all agreed it was the car which hit me which was at fault for damage on all cars. I have contacted my insurance and they said I wouldn't be at fault for the car in front of me as it was the guy who hit me is at fault.
I'm just worried that somehow I will end up having to take responsibility for hitting the car in front! I have spoken to the guy since that was driving the car in front and he told me that when he rang his insurance he said the guy at the back was at fault for all the damage, so should be OK. But was just wondering if someone has ever been in a similar situation?
