Only had third party on it and at the moment trying to find out WHO owns the tree, whether it is the council or RTA. They have insurance for these sorts of things..... they are up to $9000 worth of damage with the quote and i'm without a car

As you can see the damage was done at the front of the car and was low. Had the tree land about 2 feet in front of the car while travelling at 50km/h (in a 80 zone).

happened to a mate about 2 yrs ago and the owner of the house coughed up.

In the situation, if it were good or bad conditions i still was gunna hit the tree.

it landed about 2 feet in front of the car and there is no way i was going to prevent the accident.

And for once a skyline driver (me) wasn't in the wrong, not to affend anyone but as soon as someone sees a skyline in an accident who do people think are in the wrong?

One problem with someone coughing up is that the RTA or council who are government are gunna take there sweet ass time and hope that i get the shits and pay for it myself,,, which is a problem because i am still paying it off and on apprentice wages...... pritty shit hey

By the way heres a pic of the tree itself.

As you can see the bastard had rotted out

so was it on council/government land or in someones property.

Council. i'm sorry it may take a while

someone house/property: knock on the door get a police report and call your insurance co so they can help you persue the claim (even third party they should still try and help out)

unfortunatly it was government but the council are saying it's an rta road and the rta said it aint there tree.......... won't have my car back for a while..... Unfortunately i was organising a cruize in january. might be someones passenger if it all goes ahead or drive a mates car cause one of them is losing there license

I hit a fallen Wattle tree at 70km/h coming home from ECRaceway one night after racing that day. Came round a bend at the top of Ousley and *BANG*

it may be an RTA road, but do the RTA own the property where the tree was planted?

If the tree was planted on council property, it's the councils repsonsibility.

Thats the hard part to find out because as soon as you talk to someone in the rta or council they automatically think they can talk you down and turn you away so easy....... its really giving me the shits

Your insurance isn't willing/able to fix the car and chase it up on your behalf without any cost to you?
