] Hi, had a bump this morning in the snow, turning left of a main road very slow and cautious however a driver of a A4 had hazards on so I braked in what would have been plenty of time normally to stop dead this time the snow just slid me down the hill nothing I could wheels would just not go the way I wanted, the impact was no more than 10/15 mph I asked why she didn't roll forward to help me avoid her but she said car won't move, she did come out of car with a phone in her hand anyway that's another issue, I know I hit her my fault could do nothing about it, but in my opinion she was in the road with hazards on the phone, told me that car would not move etc, I moved it easy enough to move it out of the way to allow traffic to get though, but it's my word against her but I do record it to the police that I believe she was on the phone, anyway I checked for damage and took pics of both vehicles, hers had a couple of marks near rear sensors although it was only just light so could be a few more but nothing major, however it seems that my headlight took the bump and as snapped the bracket at the top, new or second hand headlight, also the wing as been twisted slightly and you can see the V were it as buckled... My issue is I don't no whether to to try and sort it myself or go through insurance after all that's why we pay for it, I have protected no claims etc, I could do with a bit of advice on possible cost getting parts myself and getting a body shop to fit or just leaving it to insurance, can't recall my access at moment, any help would be appreciated thanks, I will post some pics soon
