It was a little bit of humour. Take the cash, then go to no-win-no-fee.No second go, the thing is settled from a legal standpoint.
Certainly wasn't a serious comment

And then the insurers can set a premium that reflects the risk of a driver who fails to see other road users, rather than the premium being artificially lowered by dishonesty. So good driving is rewarded and bad driving is penalised. Something this cyclists doesn't seem bothered about.
You'd be suprised at just how much dis-honesty there is within the insurance trade.They will do nothing of the kind. An at fault claim would bump premiums, which is exactly what they're supposed to do. It's one of the principles of insurance, Utmost Good Faith. Honesty, in other words.
You are asking a company to underwrite your risk. If you fail to notice people and drive into them your irsk, and premiums, should be higher. That's how insurance works.
I'm afraid you're wrong. If the rider accepts the £140 he has no further redress. You don't get a second go. So the beeb is breezily endorsing behaviour that could seriously impact those hurt by drivers' inattention.
Well, your insurance may go up if you have a non-fault claim. Unfair but true. You also have a responsibility to tell your insurance company of any collision, again even if non fault. You will almost certainly be in breach of their terms if you don't.
Yes, however having money exchange hands makes it more serious than a scratch which is just ignored.whilst that may well be true in theory, I'd hazzard a guess that 99% of cars on the road have scratches on them from hitting, or being hit by something and few of these are of sufficient consequence for claiming or reporting. And yet, even a small scratch would likely cost far more than the £140 mentioned upthread if claimed under a fully comp policy
