what a "great" start to married life

I can’t believe how you’re getting treated. I'd go full LEGAL on their arse. Everyone from your insurance company that you speak to get there full name, ID number and time of the call. So you can reference whom you spoke to and what about because they record all their calls.

Keep receipts for everything, the car the fuel, tolls, everything so you can claim for it later. If you have to rent a car because your insurance company wont on your behalf they have to reimburse you for it. That’s what you pay a premium for. You shouldn’t have to do this in the first place though…

99.9% of rear end accidents are the 2nd cars fault. Doesn’t matter if there was no brake lights or not, you hit someone up the arse you either weren’t paying attention / made a bad judgement, by the sound of it the guy could do neither.

Your insurance company can track down the woman that left early via the rego number.

Play hardball, just refuse to pay anything. Ask for explanations why I have to pay, where does it say in the PDS (Product Disclosure Statement). Make em sweat when they can’t answer. Tell them that you’ll be forwarding on all the costs you’ve incurred. If your not getting anywhere with the floor jockeys ask to speak to their supervisor.

In NSW, third part insurance is compulsory. Apprarently thats not the case in Qld?

nar its compulsory, you have to pay it with your rego

Ya see one thing that bothers me about the part of no lights at the back.i remember a driving instructor telling me when I stop at the lights take it out of gear and pull on the hand brake.this is when u have to wait a while for the lights to change.the other thing is,isn’t the driver of an vehicle needs to be looking where they are going .what happens if the cars fuse went.still its up to a driver to look ahead .i would get legal advise as see where you stand after telling your storey.most will be in your favor..

the other argument though, even if lets just say by some freak chance all three stop lights weren't on, you would think there would be a reason a car would be stopped at a set of lights like hrm, i dont know, the lights shining red maybe?

not trying to have a dig at you there zapper but my point is even if it were a manual car and it was out of gear with the handbrake on at some red lights, the red lights still say stop, and lets just say a car is stopped at lights jsut as they go green ( coming up to the lights, car is there, lights change ) common sense would dictate one either changes lanes or slows down as the car ahead moves off.

the fact that the hit was hard enough to push the VX into the car ahead should be proof enough that the offender just wasn't paying due care and attention, if he didn't even attempt to brake [ what i have been told is the 'o****' factor ] then what the flip was this guy doing? staring at his speedo?

personally i think granting the circumstances, this guy hasn't a leg to stand on with his excuse.

wow....

today our insurance company have the nerve to say to chloe......

"Your car has finance owing on it in NSW therefore your insurance is null and void you dont get a pay out its your problem to sort it out"

she says to them, "we purchased it privatly in WA, it was registered in WA when we purchased it and we done a WA revs check that came back clean with no finance owing and still today it comes back clean no fiance owing"

then we get back "thats a lie theres finance owing you sort it out its your problem now"

me stressed to the eyeballs done a bit of research and found out that the car was origionally purchased in NSW and the DPI when taking it over the pits muddled up the numbers in the Engine number to correspond with another commodore with finance owing on it.

finnally without apology and beeing treated like crims that was sorted out and now we are going to get our claim but still stuck with excess untill further notice whilst they do their investigation.

Wow man, this is the worst story ive herd. I hope your wife is okay and all. I hope you sue the a$$cheeks off this guy. Your insurance company sound like a bunch of pri cks also, if the insurance still refuse to pay up etc, send ACA a email and once your insurance company gets wind that they will be harassed by ACA they always come to the table quick smart.
