Can you please explain how you would know this? My understanding is, you are someone who has never worked for Openreach/BT and seem to live on another planet compared to the rest of us.

adslmax is just posturing, please ignore.

I presume they would, that is if the driver is insured, and they find out who hit the cabinet.

Yup, same as any other third party would be they another motorist or the owner of any other property. It's what insurance is for.

Openreach do try and recover costs from third party’s if they have damaged Openreach equipment, a wrecked car next to a demolished cabinet is a relatively easy one to recover costs from , contractors or Alt Nets stomping over cables, joints etc damaging equipment in Openreach underground structures , but not filling out accurately the paperwork showing where in the OR network they have been working is more of a problem as far as recovering costs .
