Caught In The Act

[Nimmo]

Well I went and got the first of the two quotes required by my insurance agency this morning, I actually a bit worried now because the guy came out had a look and said well I'm not sure what to do because I don't know what paint they used and it looks like the respray was done over the top so if it gets touched up it could bubble!!

Sounds kinda weak to me, aren't smash repairers meant to be able to work this shit out? He started making it sound like the whole car would need a new spray job. The paint job at the moment is not the most elaborate but it's a good clean job, so having this happen to the drivers door make the whole thing look bad in my eyes (every time I go to hop in the car I see it )

Oh yeah HackerX good to hear insurance covered it.

The best "caught in the act" for me was when I was doing my tax return late one night.

I had pulled into the carpark space, lights off sitting there just grabbing some receipts on the passenger seat when some clown in a Holden Combo reversed unnecessarily too far to get out of his space all the way across the carpark and bang into the front of my car.

He got out had a look at what he had done, didn't see me in the car as it was dark, then tried to drive off.....only took me a couple of seconds to get after him and pull him out of the car

The funniest bit was I got all of his licence details, but then he got his mates to pretend he "didn't live there" when I rang with the quote the next morning....I just let the insurance handle it and it cost him a fair bit more than what I was quoted The tax man said this guys premium on a Holden Combo was over $2.5K as he was that bad a driver!!!!

That reminds me of that scene in Fried Green Tomatos with Kathy Bates. lol

Old woman ended up giving me false details; and when I took the matter to North Sydney police station, they were unwilling to assist me further despite having contact details for the witness and the registration number

That's f**king bullshit. I always like to take photos at accidents now, to avoid claims or people moving the cars' relative positions before cops show up.

Also, with details it's good to ask for proof. I always ask to see a driver's license. If they refuse to show it, block them off and call the cops telling them that someone without a license just hit your car. If they produce a license when the cops get there, you still get the info you want.

Can you proceed without assistance from the police? Civil action or something?

Yes it sucks but hey I was young and had never been in an accident before... I hope I never have to be in a simliar situation again.

Last time I checked, vigilante justice is illegal unless it's considered a "citizen's arrest" - but that itself is only valid if they try to escape after committing a serious crime; the last thing you'd want is for them to turn around and sue you back (knowing the world we live in, they'd probably win despite being in the wrong at first)

many yrs ago i was in a mates car we was looking for a car park under the adelaide convesion centre he finially spots a vacat park after about 20 mins of looking . as we are about to park this old bitch in a mercedes dive's in hitting his car in the process.

we stop she gets out and says first in best dress and walks off lol she was dressed up in her fur coat gold earings ect ect ect . my mate was fuming so he climbs up on the car kicks in the sunroof im like wtf lets get out of here. he climbs in and dropped a big steaming turd on the drivers seat that had lambswool seat cover's .

i would too have loved to seen the look on her face when she found it or even better if she sat in it karma is a wonderfull thing .

true story i was about 19 at the time

Officer: "errr we're going to need forensics down here... maybe a hazmat unit too"

I waited for them to leave into northlands, got out with my mother keeping watch and i kicked the shit out of their door, front guard and fist on their bonnet before wrapping my arm in a jumper and elbowing the drivers side window out.

mum must have been proud of yah..lol In another dimension i might have done the same, probably draw the line at dropping a turd though, cant perform in public.

You could accidentally kill them during your citizen's arrest to achieve your vigilante justice.......

Yeah true... but I want to be able to sleep at night...

You have the nickname satanic and have a moral problem with murder?

It's not murder. It's an accident.

My Caught in the Act storey

Was a nice Friday night, I decided to meet up with some friends down at the local hoon meetup at the docks in Sydney, from there shoot out to somewhere for a nice quiet cruise.

Anyway, I rocked up, switched on the UHF, and sat in the carpark to wait for friends to arrive. After 10 minutes, this AWESOME looking babe walks past the car, turns towards the passenger door, and unlocks her car (the nice black subaru next to my White Mazda 626 sports hatch).

Anyway, I decide to perve as she bends over to get into her car, but next thing THUMP, she slams her door into mine. As this happens, the UHF pipes up, one of my friends was behind us, about to reverse back next to me on the4 other side, and he saw the entire door incodent from the outside, as did I from the inside.

He tells me there is a massive black dint in my door, she looks at her car, my car, then proceeds to hop in her car and start the engine.

I put the window down (10% tint) and she looks across at me, but sticks the car into reverse and starts to drive off. I start my car, pull out and follow, my mate pulls out behind me, and we both follow her.

After 20 minutes, we had driven over the bridge, up the freeway, into artarmon, up to the Pacific Highway, and then behind us appear 2 police cars, the lights come on, and we are pulled over.

all 3 of us stop (we where not speeding), but she gets out and starts screaming "these are the people trying to carjack me officer, they have been following me for an hour now!!".

I replied to the officer with "She slammed her lovely back door into my lovely white car, check her door and my door, then she proceeded to leave the scene of the accident after I made it very clear I was in the car at the time, all I want is her details to pass to my insurance so my car be be repaired from her damages, at this stage we haven't even spoken to the lying bitch".

The cop checked my door, her door, and then 1 of the cops went and spoke with her, meanwhile we where given some details from the other cop, including a police report number and told to head on our way.

Her insurance range me a few days later telling me to provide 1 quote and then get the damage repaired.

Apparently she was given a formal cautioning abotu leaving the scene of an accident, no matter how minor without providing details to the other driver.
