That is absolutely awesome! And regardless of being able to turn into the far lane he should never have gone because it wasn't clear!!!! GGRRRRRRR.... hope you get compensation for all the stress and injury!

[Anahera]

Man i cant believe some ppl! that is aweful! sorry to hear! but glad they caught the bugger!!! geezz wat is this? TARGET SKYLINE YEAR?

[R34P3R]

a month ago i got a call from the police saying they have caught the guy and he has pleaded guilty for a hit and run. i was happy i got my money back from insurance and my claim lvl has gone down.

yesterday i got a call from the sargent who investigated the case saying i have to attend court because they have charged the taxi driver and he has pleaded not guilty and saying i crossed a red light and was excessively speeding. today he came to give me a summons to court to give evidence against the taxi driver. he also told me the taxi driver has 2 other accidents where he has driven off. this pisses me off because he already confessed and the witness statement is exactly the same as what ive said. this is a total waste of time

[R32 Driver]

hope this flamin mongrel loses his license and sentenced accordingly!

[Stealthed]

He deserves to lose everything, sounds like a real prick. Hope you get everything sorted and fully compensated and he Gets Anal raped by the police and fines.

[wudi]

is the witness who stopped to help you also going to be giving evidence?

[R34P3R]

yes. the cop said the witness will testify that i wasn't doing anything wrong and it was a green light

[fire_angel]

yes. the cop said the witness will testify that i wasn't doing anything wrong and it was a green light

Great, good to hear you will at least have support. Maybe you should go for damages for the inconvenience of being in court and not having your car etc.

[wudi]

yeah that's good to hear. If taxi's weren't so hard to get there day's i'd be tempted to boycott his service.

[-Dukes-]

Damn,

Least the cops are on to him now.

[R34P3R]

simon walters will be handling the damages and pay for the time i had to take off work coz it screwed my back pretty hard

[bubba]

I was driving home from morely down Tonkin in the right lane on the section before it become Reid hw i crash. It was on the intersection of Benara rd and Tonkin lights weren't amber or big warning lihts weren't flashing, lights were green, not speeding going 90 althougt it turns into a 80 zone for that section. I had already passed the light when a tarago taxi van comes out and instead of going into the empty left lane he cross's straight into the right lane by the time i started to brake it was too late the left side hit his car and pushed mine into the side kerb and sent me sliding in the middle sandy section.

the car behind us saw everything stopped and rushed to see if i was alright. the taxi came to a stop a few metres ahead of mine with a blown tyre and little dent on his side. he doesnt say anything come out of his cab look around my car, once i got out of my car he got back into his and drove off without a word no sorry or giving me his details. the witness got his taxi number but no rego.

now i have to wait for the cops to call me with his details before i can make a claim, insurance says without the other guys details i will have to pay the excess fees.

damage on the left side only. the left rims all cracked up. the left bar holding the wheels straight is bent. left fender

wow at least u are gettin it sorted out and help.. i had an accident a couple of months ago... hit and run. guy crossed traffic light.. blah blah.. had wittness and everything. the wittness actually chased the guy down and got his rego 4 me.. i filed police report and everything.. bt the coppers got back to me sayin. oh.. we cnt give u his details.. and it seems its ur fault according to the guy and i'm lucky that i'm not gettin charged. i had a heated argument with the investigator on the phone.. and i just basically hung up.. had to pay for repairs and everything my self coz i didnt have insurance at the time!.

[R34P3R]

old thread but i forgot to tell you what happened.

Mid/end of last year i got a call saying they found the person and he is getting charged for it. The driver told the cops he didnt see me in the first interveiw then in the second one he said i was speeding and went through a red light, but that was after he said he never saw me. Cops came to my house handed me his details and summoned me to court to tesify against him. I showed up as well as the Cops who attended the scene, they are pretty nice guys. Our case was first but it had to be suspended as the taxi driver didnt show up. go to court at 10am i didnt get to leave until 2pm.... Turns out the guy never showed up for this, also he had been caught for 2 other hit and runs before mine. he only ended up getting a 1.7k fine and nothing else even tho he didnt show up. The fine was pretty big but its nothing if he has done it twice before

Insurance gave me back my 3k excess and put my premium back to what it was =]

i did see him last week tho.... wanted to throw my bottle at him but decided its not worth it.

[jedr33gtst]

ahh that suck bad man

[Passive]

oh god what a tosser, and is he still driving taxis? no wonder i fear for my life everytime i get in one

[Mr. Keets]

I'm glad this has worked out...you get money and a good story and the taxi driver gets it in the neck. Our justice system is imperfect and slow but it's nice to see it working.

[Neuroglider]

sucks about it happening but the end result atleast you got something back from it!

if i see the dude i'll be sure to throw some abuse

[Tony de Wonderful]

Tax driver was probably some 3rd world immigrant from God knows where.

Half of 'em can't drive and have no sense of social reponsibility.
