How Do You Prove Intent of Malice in this Car Incident

[Mustank]

I just nearly get into the same situation as you when I'm driving home.

 

I was going up the merging slip road towards ECP when a school passenger van squeezed on my left. I quickly steer to go into the chevron on the right and stepped on my brakes to let him passed. Not sure what the driver was thinking with a load of school children on his van.......

Quite long ago, got one MY mini school bus chiong out from minor road. I stomp brake like mad. The kids in the bus were looking out at me in horror! Just missed by about 30 cm! Heng ahhhh!!!!!

Seen this type of accident before and if it's about insurance claim, nowadays, it's almost based on luck. Insurance company do barter trade on cases, like you absorb this and I absorb that blah blah blah. So it maybe his fault, the insurance claim maybe against you.

 

I think if the van driver is willing to make statement and made the same report as you, then the trouble maker will be at fault. Since there is no casualty, can't really involve any criminal charge.

 

I do hope he gets what he deserve but people like this never learn.

 

If accord.do this on a regular enough basis, he will meet a tua lowlee who wont give way

Background.

 

I was involved in an incident yesterday. A car, Honda Accord cut into a single lane entry in front of me into PIE entrance towards Jurong. He cut in really late and by the time he made his move he had passed the white road separator. I drove defensively, braked, let him pass, honked at him and raised my arms in protest. The driver then went berserk and jammed brake in front of me. I crashed into him and a Van crashed into me. THe crashed happened after 20 metres of the entrance, so I had already let him into the entry and was not being a jerk.

He intended the accident and the accident happened. The lucky thing is: the vehicle behind me is not a motorcyclist or there could be mortality.

Could anyone advise how I can prove his intent without video recording? The Van driver behind me witness the incident and is willing to be my witness. Is he a strong witness?

Facts.

1) The dent in front of my car is far far worse than behind. From a physics POV, it could discount the possibility that it was the car behind crashing into me that caused my car to ram into the Honda Accord.

2) I really want this guy to suffer for his deeds.

3) Prior to the incident, the guy cut dangerously into my lane (left most) outside Changi Hospital I let him passed but gave him a short honk because he cut in too close too fast and there were a cyclist in front of him in the lane he is cutting in. That may have upset him, but I stayed in my lane while he cut into the right lane.

4) As a result, because he is a serial lane cutter, he realized he is in the wrong lane and cut in dangerously that led to the whole event.

 

Lesson learnt.

Since you already braked and let him pass, why bother to honk and raise your arms? Right?

Then again, from what I can imagine, it is unlikely that you will crash the front car since you already braked? Unless if you speed up?

Anyway, you can try your luck in your statement with support of the rear van driver. IMO, the outcome is rather 50-50.

IMO if you can prove he purposely jam brakes then he might get charged with inconsiderate driving but then for the insurance part still 100% on you cuz you never keep a safe distance.

[Idiooot]

had a friend who had a similar case. even with camera, front car still awarded 80-20. i guess onus is on driver behind to maintain safety distance.

[Idiooot]

of course have to be extra careful when the car in front of u is sports car/soupped up rides. The BBKs brake so much better than sometimes you have to keep a further distance than usual

good luck...
