Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
I made that mistake... cost me $8,800 to repair someone elses car. I got taught a pretty harsh lesson that night and I sure as **** won't be doing it again.yo both dont have insurance, fudge.. if u had insureance u might of had a better chance.. i dont know how u can drive around without it thats crazy..
Well, there's not much you could've done now, but for future refence if you hit someone in the rear and it's their fault for pulling out you MUST call the police to the scene. They can then assess how the collision happened and as long as you weren't being a total **** they'll push blame to the other driver, then if you have insurance you can let your insurance company know that police attended and investigated finding other driver at fault for not Giving way. In which case most of the time they get a fine too. If you have no insurance your still right then.
As for your speed guestimation, there is a little leway with speed due to speedos being out sometime. So if your estimation of 85 was because your speedo was reading 82 that's still ok. Your real speed may have been 82, which is still ok. A police member in vic will not usually fine someone for 2km/h over.
The police are public servants. In other words, you call them, as long as there's a free officer they come. All you tell them is there's been a collision, dont tell them the severity. Say your in shock too and you want the police there to sort everything out. Or follow what is written in the next paragraph.The police will not attend a minor fender bender with no injuries to anybody.**** there was a 3 car pile up at the intersection at Garden drive yesterday and a cop car drove past without even stopping even though the girl involved was staring at them with holding her neck in pain.
Only once have i seen police attend a minor accident when the guy that hit the back of my dads ute would not give his details.Details were quickly given then.

They attended my collision (my car was a write off) and other car just had a bent in front end. All that had to be said was, we arn't moving the vehicles until the police arrive. Mind you, i had no choice in moving my vehicle or not, without external help it was going no where.
I have seen plenty of police down here in vic investigating small collisions.
