What Should I Do?

[R34NRG]

so i purchased new licence plates and went to fit them on. but the olders were all bent outta place and i cant even fit it on. VIC roads said i can get it repaired for around 150 bucks.

the reason they are bent is because some bitch forgot her handbreak and rolled into me. i jumped out and asked for her details but she drove off telling me to stop acting like a girl no damage was done but i managed to get her licence plate.

when i looked at the dmg it didnt look like anything serious. so i left it

but after buying licence plates and fitting them on.....as i explained above.....things need to be fixed

my question is can i still put this on the driver that hit me....even after 2 months? because thats when it happened....i never thought it would do some damage like this

what u guys think?

Should have reported her straight away if you had licence plate.

might be a bit too late now lodging a claim.

and would it be worth lodging / chasing up for $150?

Im sure you can afford it.

sucks that it had to happen though.

I think after a couple of months it is too late, because even though she is lying her defense can be the damage could have happened later on...and she would win unfortunately.

2 months later? no sale.

You can try, but the cops are going to ask you why it wasnt reported within 48 hours... and to that you havent got a leg to stand on as the good old "i didnt look at the time" doesnt hold up.

So its the numberplate holder thats bent?

Im sure some DIY would be able to fix it for free.

Pft - if some lady hit me and drove off I would have reported it straight away to the police regardless of the amount of damage.

The fact that she left the scene of an accident (any accident) without stopping is ridiculous. People like that deserve to have the law come down on them.

i fully agree with bec. anybody hits me and drives off, straight to the cops i go

[R34NRG]

yeh....i realli regret it.......arghhh

Hey Andru, yeah tough break...you know what they say about hindsight it's always 20/20 vision Hopefully a bit of work yourself can just straighten out the plates and you are good for nothing to pay but a little of your time

Cheers,

Do you have any pics?

If it is as I am picturing it, why not get 2 blocks of wood and sandwich the plate between them. Then hammer the top block until it is flat. That way you dont get impressions in the plate from doing it on a surface like tarmac etc.

But also, 2 months is a bit long.
