Any1 Not Pay Up @ Fault Insurance Claim?


Recommended Posts

' date='17 Nov 2006, 11:14 AM' post='2680173'] Is it not the law however that you stop at a yellow UNLESS it is unsafe to do so?

In this situation it was unsafe to do so as he was travelling at around 40-50km/hr and there were cars behind him...

Well then he should be fine... I would go and see if there are RTA monitoring camera and what you can do about seeing the footage.

Wouldn't hurt to go and speak to the local police station and find out what they recommend. Has your mate reported the accident as yet? I have never had an accident which is my fault but you used to have to report it within a certain time frame. This may only have been for insurance purposes though?

If he reports it, with conflicting accounts of what has happened then the insurance company is going to have to investigate one would assume. Although his biggest problem is this other witness that claims he ran a red.

yea but that other witness just seemed like a complete moron... started screaming at my mate when he wasn't even involved in the accident..how can he judge what light my mate ran...its ridiculous...issue lies in the fact that my mate doesn't have insurance so will probably need to get some solicitors...he wrote his statement to the insurance company of the car that didn't give way but her insurance comany called him and said they will send him repair bill...

Hate people who generalise Skyline drivers ("witness") and try get involved in things which have no relation to them what so ever

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
