It's always advised here that you never admit liability for a crash. Let the insurers investigate it. But I wanna know exactly why, and whether you think at any point you should just man up and accept it no matter what your insurer advises?
I noticed a car belonging to someone I know of (I don't know them on a personal level) with heavy damage to the rear quarter, and it seems someone else I know of (also not on a personal level) failed to stop at a junction and crashed straight into her (I'm not a witness). He got out of his car and was extremely apologetic at the time, they swapped details and off they went. I then found out a few days later he's denying being at fault and I expect it's on the advice for his insurer.
Am I the only one who finds it literally offensive that people won't accept responsibility for their actions when they're unquestionably at fault?
For the innocent driver, it's so much more stressful and inconvenient. (No dashcams were present apparently)
