Hi, I had a stupid accident. Following a bakkie we both approached a traffic circle, both coming toa stop.I checked for traffic, when the bakkie driver put it in reverse and hit me frontal, before I could do anything. Breakages etc., quote about R 12k. Reported it to the police, sent e-mail to the company who owns the bakkie, claiming from them. Yesterday I received a mail from their insurer, that they have conflicting statements as the bakkie driver says I drove into him??? Seriously? I have no witness, the car behind me drove off when I was checking the damage. He did reverse to talk to a colleague on the othe side of the road. I do have a picture of that and the reg no. If that chap is in cohouts with the driver, what chances do I have? Insist on a lie detectoror somehing like that?

How does one appraoch that? Any advice is welcome.
