If at all possible, find out if any blood was taken from her.

I'm sure that you would have been breath tested by Police, but she should have been tested too.

I'd also be finding out where she had been beforehand.

If she had recently left a pub/club and was under the influence of alcohol, then the pub/club has a duty of care to her as well.

(IE; it's against the law to serve alcohol to an intoxicated person)

I've never known a sober person to fling themself in front of a car.

Go get some legal advice.

Glad that you and your passengers are OK.

They do a wicked job of polishing inside and out. Also, that Impul R33R front bar on your car, was that purchased from a company in Braeside??? Because it looks like a copy of my front bar. :)

i tried calling twice on saturday and i went down to the station in person today and the cop that came to the accident wont return my calls so dont even know the ladies name.. I know as much now as I did 5mins after it happened on Friday night.

Sorry to hear it dude. That really sucks.

For one headlight you can try UP Imports, thats where i got mine, I used the website (www.upimports.com.au) but its located in dandenong I believe, Not sure how far out of melbourne that is but yeh. Best wishes mate.

hmm, sounds like they're deliberately trying to avoid you speaking to the pedestrian. At least you've made the effort though.

I wonder whether she was actually drunk at the time? They say a large majority (over 50% i think it is) are actually intoxicated, which basically in my eye makes it not your fault at all. Unfortunately they will still put that down for "injuries and deaths on VIC roads" or similar and these statistics are used to skew results and justify revenue raising tactics.

Hope she is ok, and it doesn't turn into a big legal crap-fight.

OMG

i hope u are alrite about this

and i hope that chick is safe and sound so she can get up and pay for the damages she did to ur car! look at that!! unblivable! careless pedestrians like her should learn to walk at a PEDESTRIAN CROSSING or look before you step out...noways your fault SKYL9 from what i read...tell me if all accidents involving cars and pedestrians totally the drivers fault then the world is living with no fairness.

yeah, what Al said too.. Speak to a lawyer for advice RIGHT AWAY.. Even if you have to pay $100 for the privelege, that could save you a lot down the track.

If it is wet the court could say you weren't driving "in line with the conditions of the time" and that could be nasty. You never know, but things can quickly swing around and worst case her dad is a lawyer or something (the worst slime that can exist festering in your toilet bowl)

Surely..... for insurance purposes they need to give you her details?

If you want to make a claim with your insurance company, won't they need details?

Sounds like somethings a bit dodgey.

I'm sure they wouldn't deny her your details, so why are her details being withheld?

Legal advice ASAP.

Just see a lawyer ASAP.

Something as simple as saying "I hit a pedestrian" when you should be saying "A pedestrian jumped out in front of my car." or saying "I didn't see her." to the wrong person could put your a$$ in a sling. :Bang: <- your life

DO NOT TALK TO ANYBODY ABOUT THIS UNTIL YOU HAVE GOT LEGAL ADVICE!

You can bet your lefty that some bottom feeding liability lawyer will jump on this with both feet. And you will be his target. :blast:

"Your honour, this HOON in his fast car nearly killed my client who was just crossing the road minding her own business. She deserves $5 million compensation."

BULL$HIT, If it went down as you describe then she should be paying for the damage to your car. (may she have a speedy recovery, but she trashed your car man)

thanx for the help.. sounds better than buying 2 new headlights.. and if you own that silver 4door with the impul kit that was down at pulse.. then yes that bar was a copy of yours

thanx.. i gave them a call but they dont have any i was told

Shit man are YOU ok? Which cop shop is dealing with it?

I reckon the guys are right though - get some legal advice - all this chick needs to get a court in her favour is your driving history and a few tears.

    • This. The R34 handbrake icon DOES come up when the brake fluid level is low. You might be sitting right on that threshhold. I have been down this diagnosis path and this was the solution (and it was pretty much as full as your picture is to begin with).
    • Unfortunately the cavaet to that is that while any scan tool should be able to read the code, the workshop will need a consult plug to OBD socket adapter. You don't have a location on your profile, where are you based?
    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.
