I was parked up in a supermarket carpark today. Reversed slowly out of my space, checked over my left shoulder, nothing there. Reversed and as I turned my head back over my left shoulder a gentleman in a silver car shot around the corner and straight into the left hand rear of my car.
We're both fine, no real harm aside from dents in both cars, but mine is less damaged than his. Swap details, I take photos of the damage (which he objects to) and leave it there agreeing to speak once we've priced up repairs. He admitted no liability, nor did I. He's just phoned to say his car will be £300 to repair but if he goes through his insurance they'll write it off (his car has dings and dents all around the other sides). I pointed out that if I'm paying for his car to be repaired he'd better be willing to repair mine, he says at his age he can't afford £300 so I'm going to have to pay. I refused and said he was going much too fast around the corner.
The chap got quite worked up and shouted that as a pensioner he has no income and that either I pay him £300 or he'll take it to the police and insurance companies and I'll end up paying more.
What do I do?
