Anything over $500 worth of damages needs to have a police report filed.

Anything under just tell the insurance co and find out who they recommend / who you are going to

I think they frown apon it. As it only helps you in the long wrong if your not at fault and the other side tries to get out of it.

the best thing for you to do is not bother asking for advice on here, but to call your insurance company and ask them what to do. that way you have 100% accurate information.

no, my best advice was that a womans face doesn't matter because you can't motorboat a face. this is up there though.

In nsw you only need a police report if either car I's undrivable, or either occupant needed medical attention, I was involved in one not to long ago (not at fault) and police didn't want to know a thing about it.

My advice is, anymore than a mouthful is a waste.

And you need to L2English.

Oh, and +1 for ask your damn insurance compeny.

Has the guy admitted fault?

just call the cops anyway, and get it all recorded, should always do it unless its just a little carpark ding...if its in new south wales they probably wont attend if both cars can drive and if no one is hurt, but call them anyway. you never know what kind of shifties the other party involved will try and pull. call them up and get an incident number so that the insurance companies can refer to it later...the last thing u want to be doing is calling them up going ummm i had an accident like umm two weeks ago.

always cover yourself as best you can..i didn't and my car has been off the road for coming up to four months now

+1 for calling your insurance company, even if you only have third party and you wont be making a claim with them, let them know anyway

good luck getting it sorted mate, sux about the accident
