Admiralty 4th Gear May 27, 2009 Share May 27, 2009 are you saying in your whole driving history, u never park illegally? never illegal u-turn? never broken any traffic rules? just on illegal park, you try to hit a illegal parked, stationary car. you pay, at least half. any moving vehicles, boat, bicycle, got to exercise control and look out for stationary object, including a tree. common sense. Who ask him to illegal park? You wan to illegal park, you take the risks of having your car banged! And by illegal parking itself is a selfish act that could poses other drivers dangers. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hokk7777 Neutral Newbie May 27, 2009 Share May 27, 2009 Yes I had illegal park b4, ofcos, but I try not to, even if i had to walk a little more distance or pay for the parking. And when I illegal park, I prepared myself mentally that if it gets bangs, I am 50% at fault, I had no rights to argue more, unless the other driver has no license or is drink driving.

Admiralty 4th Gear May 27, 2009 Share May 27, 2009 Bros, totally agreed that there is advantage to report accident 1st, if claiming the other party. Maybe i lied before, when i was a kid. Out grown that stage, learnd to be responsible for my act. Put it plain, if you are a father/mother of someone, would you teach them to lie and get what they want? dun think so... If hit someone... quickly be the first to inform your insurance agent and write a good long report about the other party being at fault!! First one in .. get's higher chance of winning... LIE if you need to... LIE!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiralty 4th Gear May 27, 2009 Share May 27, 2009 for TS, at least a 50-50 situation. depanding on the other party, how far he is willing to push the matter. usually he had report the accident & send his ride t a workshop/AD to get a survey (surveyor from your insurance), estimate the cost of repair. surveyor submit to yr insurance for review on the cost, be it 50-50, 60-40....if he accept, send the ride for repair (insurance pay), or cash settlement (he find his repair shop). dun think your insurance would even bother to discuss liability percentage with you (insured). if demage is just scratch, repair cost should be around 200-400 depand where he goes. If you have his contact, just give him a call, start with I am sorry. May be thing will workout fine.

Thargor 1st Gear May 27, 2009 Share May 27, 2009 Given the fact the guy illegal park...he's probably one of those "I am busy I have no time to wait for a parking lot to be available or a parking lot too far to the lift". When you snatched his car, he was probably think..."Now I have to waste TIME to go to a workshop....and leave my car there for a day...thereby causing me inconvenience...so you will pay for a solid spray by my trusted workshop and pay me for loss of use for my car." I think the fact that he illegal park and you snatch his car...in the eyes of the law...or insurance company...it two related issue but does not and should not impact each other's outcome.

Sci10213 3rd Gear May 27, 2009 Share May 27, 2009 You are indeed in a very bad situation. Unless the other party park illegal in such a way that it endangers other users life or may cause great harm/injury then you "might" have "some" chance to fight the case & not to pay 100% but maybe 30% to 50%. But in your case, how has the other party who park illegally "endanger" your life? So you are 99.99% liable for his damaged vehicle! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
