ouch - that's a ****ter - hopefully he has insurance?

thankfully it looks reparable with a few panel replacements?

glad to hear no-one was hurt.

Uninsured drivers make it tuff for responsible motorist world wide.
But, from those pics it looks like no more than replacement drivers door and reworked front quarter panel & rear door.
But regaurdless of your deductable, the uninsured driver will cause your rates to increase..........or at least thats the way it works in North America. I don't suppose it's still Monday down under as well:cry:

Uninsured drivers should be shot immediately at the scene. :snip:

Not good Mr T, but be thankful you weren't seriously hurt.
There's nothing more annoying than to have an accident and it not be your fault. :mad:

A person can drive around without an insurance that will pay for any damage he might cause?? :confused:

That's illegal here.

[Mr.Tweak]

I'll have to see what the insurance company says tomorrow - I'm not sure how it all works but when you get your car rego you pay money for third party insurance so maybe that will come into it.

Well I hope everything works out to the best for you. :)

Will see panel beater as well, might not be as bad as first thought. Luckily I am quite friendly with a local panel beater who does good work, he will look after me.

Should be interesting to see the "at-fault" percentage.

You might get dinged a little bit because you were in the process of passing when it was not "safe" (what the insurance company would call safe)

Insurance companies are whacked in the head, so who knows. Hope it's not more than 25% for you

Sorry m8 but that is only for personal injury. Your insurance company will foot the bill for repairs and then sue the other joker for all costs.

[Mr.Tweak]

Good news, I think!

Initially the insurance company says they don't think it was my fault. I need to wait now and see what they end up deciding.
