Moderators Zedman240® Posted June 4, 2009 Moderators Posted June 4, 2009 I'd go to the police first..illegal to drive off after an accident! Agree with Fufu...... Quote

reverendzed Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Sorry to hear Mick but thankful you're O.K and the Zed, while a little 'ruffed' up will live on. Rev. Quote
Add Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Good to see you ok mate. Try and get that fool to pay for your new paint job leaves you more money to spend on other goodies. Quote
zedevan Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 idiots going into the back of the car is the one and only reason i would not want to drive my zed daily again I saw a white crx the other day just after the end of the eastern freeway that looked identical to mine after what appeared to be a nearly identical situation of a large car/truck going into the back of a car one or two behind it and getting sandwiched Quote
Scando Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 That sucks. Even if it didn't do much damage I'd report it to the police just to make him pay for being a prick and driving off. Quote
sexual_sushi Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 +1 for making him pay for driving off, get him to pay for some body work... what a douche Quote
fufu Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 I want to see how this unfolds. I really think getting the police involved will teach him a lesson. Lets hope he has previous criminal offences and get him convicted of another offence. He will feel the pain in these times if he gets made redundant. You can even use the damage to your advantage if you know a panel beater Quote
Michael Posted June 5, 2009 Author Posted June 5, 2009 Been into the Police Station, There investigating apparently. But honestly i don't See it going very far -.-' The Lady at the counter was quite i dunno, Uninterested to say the least Fair enough, Ding'd zed Or all the stuff that happens over broadmeadows way, Must seem kind of, insignificant. :l Quote
. Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Yeah you are righ all that stuff that happens over broadmeadows way, Must seem kind of, insignificant compared to a damaged Zed Quote
2+2er Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 I used to drive a light rigid truck and a lady (elderly) once accused me of running a red light and scrapping the front of her car. The police made it clear that "hit and run" would put me in court had it of actually happened. The issue was dropped quickly when the truck was examined, the old lady mistook the green straight light as her turn arrow. Make that fool pay for doing a runner! Quote
Add Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 I really hope he is reading this thread, packing his dacks. Yes you! Quote
xa1973 Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 I really hope he is reading this thread, packing his dacks. Yes you! Looks like a job for the boys at Midnight Autos........... Quote
