Update;

Received a response from V*croads.

A v*croads form "notice of incident" needs to be completed whereby i state where the incident happened and the damage occurred to my car.

However the notice of incident is not a claim for re-imbursement of damages and a separate claim needs to be completed.

From the V*croads form;

My rights;

A person who has suffered damage due to the condition of the road or road infrastructure may be entitled to compensation from the responsible road authority.

The road authority can deny liability if it has complied with the standards established in its RMP and other relevant Codes and policies. If you want to make

a claim for damages, a separate letter detailing the damages you have incurred together with at least two independent quotes for the cost of repair is required.

My Obligations

• Drivers are required to drive safely having regard to the conditions (e.g. road, weather and traffic), and to avoid unreasonable risks to other road users. Similar

safety obligations are imposed on all road users (e.g. pedestrians, cyclists, etc.).

• Where a person wants to make a claim for property damage which was caused by the condition of the road or road infrastructure, they must

provide the responsible road authority with a written notice (e.g. the form on the opposite page) within 30 days. (Note: the VicRoads Register of

Public Roads, located on our website, lists those roads for which we are the responsible road authority.)

• Failure to give written notice within 30 days of the incident may be taken into account by a court in deciding what the condition of the road

or infrastructure was at the time of the incident.

• The Notice of Incident must include the details prescribed by the Regulations. Completion of the attached form should satisfy those requirements.

• Any compensation for property damage from a road authority, in relation to the condition of the road or road infrastructure, is reduced by

$1000 (annually indexed to Consumer Price Index), i.e. this amount is deducted from the value of the property damage prior to payment of compensation.

they can only "fix" the windscreen as such when its a small chip just starting out. its designed not to completely get rid of the chip, but it stops it spreading and will no longer be considered Un-RW
