Well,
Driving home last nite on parra rd, taxi in the right lane decides he wants to pickup a passanger at the last second, as they do. Sideswipes me (bye bye drivers side paint) and continues to drive me into the gutter, despite holding down the horn for **** knows how long, and hearing that nice metal to metal sound. Bye bye rim/tyre/other parts.
Anyway, i rang my insurance company (just cars) today, and since i only have 3rd party, they said they don't get involved unles hes holding me liable. Has any1 else with 3rd party had their insurance company handle it if it can be proved you're not at fault?
The flip side to this is i may need to chase this bloke myself.
He spun shit to the cops last nite, and basically wouldn't speak to me either, so i can see a fun ride ahead.
Im thinking i should obtain a quote for repairs, and ask him for the cash, or for him to claim to his insurance, failing that, join the legal chain.
Any1 have advice as to what any other options could be or things i should get sorted b4 i start?
Im still awaiting the police report.
