The reason it has to go through the insurers is that the car that it me was a courtesy car as the driver had had his car written off last week. Hence the damage to it will need to be covered as well.

I would have normally offered to let him pay for it to avoid another claim but he has no option as the car he was driving wasn't his.

There is no doubt that it is still perfectly roadworthy. However if I withdraw the claim I'm £500 down to make it good myself. Its a non fault accident from my perspective so I want it making right.
