UNR8D has a stack!!!

UNR8D · 23-04-2005, 06:33 PM

wednesday night comming home from work in peak hr traffic, crawing along the gateway motorway 60kmh est.. a car in the left lane 2 cars up decides he wants the right lane.. nothing wrong with that i start breaking seeing what is happening up in front had about a car/car and half distance in front of me so its all good, next thing the spanker in the left lane beside me does the same thing and jumps into the useable space for breaking and cuts my breaking distance by like 3/4 right at the time everyone has just pulled up...... ABS...ABS...ABS (truck to the right and a dirty ditch to my left) got as close to the truck on the left as possible and drilled this twit at 30kmh in the **** of a $500 laser which went into a BA falcon in front..... My fault as i hit from behind but ****ED because this spank used my breaking area as a invitation to jump into where he wasnt wanted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT HAPPY

the end result speaks for itsself.

Sorry to see that pic. Yet another nice vehicle falls victim to Shithouse Drivers.

Full BS, i hope u gave him a bit of a what for when u pulled over.

Magical_ED · 23-04-2005, 07:04 PM

What a knob. Two cars damaged (well ones worth a mention forget the laser), and look at your right, its a mess, that guy/girl in the car that stole your braking possy should be taken out. Ive had people do stupid crap infront of my and i'm only on my l's,

niko · 23-04-2005, 07:07 PM

UNR8D · 23-04-2005, 07:13 PM

Damo · 23-04-2005, 07:20 PM

LUXO_8 · 23-04-2005, 10:39 PM

UNR8D · 23-04-2005, 10:45 PM

yea tell me about it, im spewing and the ****er was like 'ohh im soo ****ed' i was like ... nows not the ####ing time to start this shit, my pride an joy is ****ed and ur winging about a $500 shitbox laser........ ********!

gtfpv · 23-04-2005, 10:52 PM

that sucks mate , especially how it is your fault yet you couldn't do anything to avoid it. keep your chin up hopefully it will pan out for you in the end . damage dousn't look to bad.

UNR8D · 23-04-2005, 10:55 PM

$3800 was the first quote, insurance excess is $1200 :S OUCH but yea 3 cars prob about 6-7 k damage all up maybe more. my fault because by law if u hit a car from behind your 'AT FAULT' dosent matter if he stuck his nose in where it wasnt wanted.... depressing but yea.

gtfpv · 23-04-2005, 11:04 PM

UNR8D · 24-04-2005, 11:07 AM

UNR8D · 29-04-2005, 10:12 AM

Sometimes if you hit the car in front, you are not at fault. Just depends on the circumstance, evidence, which state rules apply and the cop report...

Sorry to hear of the damage. But its good to see you making the most of it in getting some other stuff done as well.

Danny · 29-04-2005, 10:19 PM

Sorry to hear what happened mate. Damage looks costly, but they always come back looking awwwesome!

yeah, from what youve said youre clearly not in the wrong, id contest it.

UNR8D · 30-04-2005, 07:09 AM

already submitted insuracne, they wont put up my premium and apparantly are investagating further so ill see what happens, i dont have to pay the excess *lowered to $800 till i get my car back from the repairer and im completly satisfied with the job. the assessor is comming on tuesday 8am to look at my car and confirm the booked appointment with the repairer. couldnt be happier with JUST CARS they have done a fantastic job.

thanks guys, still makes me real sad to see her in this situation:(

UNR8D · 15-05-2005, 05:40 PM

LUXO_8 · 15-05-2005, 05:44 PM

looks to be a quality repair from that pic

UNR8D · 15-05-2005, 06:09 PM

yea its a aursome repair, they have a readjust they need to do on the LH side of the bonnet but apart from that its beautiful and the paint work couldnt be better

rag top · 15-05-2005, 06:41 PM

UNR8D · 15-05-2005, 08:32 PM

no drama's i have all mods listed with just car, they sent out an assessor to my work in a time i wanted, he spend all of 30 min just going thru the 2 quotes went with the more expencive one which had new pannels and more paint etc as he know i wanted my car to be 110% right, signed off on it, i booked it in, got an approval no thru just cars and got my car back in a week!, i couldnt more highly recomend Just cars they were great thru the whole ordeal.

LUXO_8 · 15-05-2005, 08:36 PM

i think they were more talking about weather the other guy was found at fault for cutting in .......

UNR8D · 15-05-2005, 09:15 PM

still ongoing atm, i have paid $800 but have got a letter saying that investergations are still ongoing and that .......... the other party have been contacted on the matter and they need to reply within 60days or they will proceed with court appearances.... not my problem now, hope it goes thru i get $800 back, ill be happy then.
