Ado, its too late for a collision that has already happened. Although, if your lucky you still could win, provided you have lots of pictures, but i can't see many police members wanting to investigate a collision when it's past and all cleared.
In this situation if you had called the police and they came and if they asked you the speed you were doing, you say 80, no matter what. I understand you'd be under stress and shock, but this helps, you can lie and get away with it easier because a person in shock is different to a normal state. And effects different people differently.
Do not withold any information to the police, provided you weren't goign 15-20km/h over the limit, you can get away with saying you were doing the limit. You are still not lying about the main fact that the other driver didn't give way to traffic! Dont lie about that and you'll be fine.
As for the father comment, my dad's dead, so i'm pretty sure he wont mind about the advice i'm giving. And this advice is backed up by a friend who has investigated many major collisions. Since i mentioned him, if you have a major sort of collision and even if it is your fault, do NOT say anything. If police attend say that you dont feel right [even if you do]. Even sit down on the grass and hold your head if you have to. An ambo will be called, TAC will pay for that and you'll be away from the scene and gives you time to get out of shock and then you can answer questions later when your thinking clearly. Many police members take advantage of people being in shock to get admissions whether they're true or not. Simple way to close a case. If a police isn't there and a driver or witness is pushing, again use the same tactic, but call an ambo yourself or get someone else to. Bottom line is, get away from the scene, let the towies deal with the vehicles and do not say anything.
