Well here we go... Just spent 15 grand on mods 8 months ago... Truck turned across my path from the other side of the road.... Locked up for 25meters and it was all over. The toolbox bolted to the bottom of the truckies trailer stopped the car from fully going under the trailer and ripping the roof off the car... Saved my life. Just shows shit can happen in a split second and it can be all over. I reckon i was doing about 15km/s over the speed limit and i think if i was actually doing the proper speed i probably would have stopped in time. Learnt a f**king good lession thats for sure...

That is such a sad sight. Luckily ur all alright. How long ago was this? You've been givin the all clear from being the cause of accident? A dude i used to work with, same thing happened, he had to fork out for it cus he was found speeding. "It would have never happened if he wasn't speeding" the trucking company argued.

If the traffic matter is still unresolved with police and insurance company it is probably not a good idea to post up any comments like your speed. It would be very difficult for any crash investigator to determine that you were 15km over unless you told them. Bein 15km over probably means the liabilitiy will be spread between the truck driver and yourself and insurance companies have a habit over not paying out if you are breaking the law.

Good luck with the new purchase and insurance claim. If you just spent $15k on mods in might be worth asking the insuance company if you can buy the wreck so you can extract the parts for your new car.

Global research over many years by meself has confirmed that people involved in accidents are not taking readings of worry gauges immediately prior to or at time of accidents, likewise nine out of ten accidents are unplanned & not the fault of the Nissan driver. Following on from that valuable research project my current extensive research reveals that insurance companies will latch on (like mud crabs) to any point that will assist in denying a righteous claim even if it is their own Grandmother making said claim, therefore it is very bad kharma to speculate. Best edit these posts referring to speculative elements of this incident & best of luck with your claim mate.

A crash does more than physical damage, it also creates mental and emotional damage.

When I crashed my Honda Accord last year, the car was mangled real bad and I was throwing up blood due to internal injuries - without going into the graphics too much; I think obey the speed limit and arrive safely. Speed limits are there after scientists, engineers and specialist consultants have done their calculations and research to show which applicable speed limit is most suitable for certain areas - they should be obeyed and taken lightly.

I know I learned the hard way, cost me a fortune and nearly my marriage.

I think seeing a wreck really brings it home and gives you a graphical warning on the consequences of speeding. A car can do wondrous things, but if not used properly, it can become a lethal weapon to kill.

Insurance company paid agreed value on the car. Very lucky with that one but Just car insurance seems not to be too bad because i listed all the modifications.$2000 premium plus excesses kinda killed it though. Im just lucky it wasnt a family with kids in the car.... But i probably wouldnt have hit them because a car in the middle of the road is alot easier to avoid then a truck and trailer going ten 10k's. But yeah no excuses I have alot more respect for cars. I lost half my confidence or probably arrogance and it was probably a good thing all i got was really bad whiplash atleast nobody died.... From now on il save the speed for the drags with my new r33... Was able to salvage the bottom end just not the head and turbo.... Start rebuilding soon.
