With these cameras we can see from 700m away who is distracted and who is not concentrating.

We can see them before they can see us.

We dont need to actually see them holding their mobile phone for them to be breaching the road rules.

Evidence? We don't need no stinking evidence

lol we don't need to catch them with their mobile phone...what are you charging them for?

Fk we really need higher standards for entry into the police force, some of these people appear to have failed grade 6.

So I finally got a reply back from the person who hit my car, and how's this for a response:

"I've spoken to our repairer and in his opinion, the damage to your car looks to be preexisting and not being a result from xxx car. I will be going through our insurance and will be asking for an assessor to view your car to determine the extent of the claim. asking for my details etc....."

Seriously, what the f**k? Not only is the damage to my car clearly done by them, but I had a full inspection by state roads done to my car to confirm it was in 100% order when I purchased it a few months ago, and with the damage it's simply not possible at all that it could be there before.

What action should I take? I'm furious at the moment, combined with such a stressful week at Uni I simply don't have the capacity to deal with this...

lol would you believe me if I told you that I saw that coming

It doesn't matter even if the damage was already there, that's his bad luck; if he hit you he has to get it repaired.

The fact you have his licence details (I hope) suggests an accident occurred and he has admitted to you in writing that he hit you so it should be pretty straight forward...

he ran into the back of you yeah? then they always at fault. just speak to your insurance as recommended before. hopefully they will be happy to deal with it and chase his insurance, they can all crush his dreams of choice of repairer.

Yeah he's just full of shit, thinking I'm an easy target somehow. I have their details, pictures, license plate etc. so everything is there.

I only have 3rd party insurance, and they are hopeless when chasing up claims. There is no way I'm using their preferred repairer or using their assessor. This accident is their fault, so it's my choice.

If they said they are going through their insurance you don't have to do any chasing up, you just deal with their insurance company. Tell them to make the claim with insurance and that you want to hear from their insurance company within a week or you will start getting legal.

what birds said.

let them know to either give you a claim number.

or agree to pay your bill.

they have admitted hitting you from behind.

there is damage

it that simple.

What he said. Just ask for a claim number.

Lol @ repairers opinion, sounds like a fake opinion to me. Why should a repairer care about a photo of your car??

And I am pretty sure he can legally do it too...

Just like if he didn't have insurance at all you would have to get your car fixed at a price deemed as one he could afford..

You could bitch and moan about not being happy with the job afterwards, but if it is fixed to a reasonable and safe standard there is nothing you can do..

He's just trying it on, trying to pay as little as possible to get out of a shit situation.

If he didn't have insurance, it wouldn't be based on what he could afford, viper would call his insurance and make a no insurance claim (up to 3k of damage with JCI third party), so then it's up to the insurance company to repair the car (up to 3k) and get the money out of the douchebag. As viper has the other party's details, he doesn't pay an excess for this. Said douchebag then has the option of disputing the cost of repairs with insurance company through VCAT.

If neither party had insurance, it would be repaired at what the law sees as a reasonable cost...this can be disputed by either party at VCAT where VCAT get their own contracted accident assessor to deem whether the repair costs are reasonable or not. As the party not at fault, you have every right to challenge repairs in VCAT if they are not satisfactory.

Open and shut case, Johnson. Apparently this nigger broke in and hung up pictures of his family.

Are you sure JCI will fix his car based on a 3rd party policy? I've never heard of that.

As per above comment I don't think you have a choice to refuse his insurances assessor / repairer looking at your car and potentially doing the job as it's a claim through his policy not yours. Whoever fixes it should do nothin less than a satisfactory job.

Out of curiosity how bad is said damage?

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
