If you've only got third party property then your car isn't insured at all, only the car you hit.

Too bad about the crash mate. How'd the towy make off with your phone?

Ouch. Looks pretty bad, but on the bright side, at least you hadn't payed to get it all painted yet.

Sorry to hear buddy. My EB got written off the previous Monday due to a driver not paying attention on the road. It's not a cool thing to happen. As long as you don't get back issues out of it like I did, its all good.
