Looking for helpful input from experienced and intelligent fellow Ozbargainers. Here is what happened:
Last night around 8pm, I was on my way home from work, I came to a stop at an intersection as I saw the traffic light from the right was green and car were moving towards this way. (It is one of those left turns without traffic lights, but proceed when safe to do so.)
It was a gradual stop. But as soon as my car stopped, i felt a bump, the car behind hit mine. This shirtless young guy probably thought I would rush out of the road and get in front of the coming traffic.
Anyway, there is no injury, and the damage is not severe but the car still needs to be checked by mechanics.
Spoke with our insurance company this morning, I either deal with guy directly or they can act on my behalf, but premium may go up from now on.
Any thoughts? What is your suggestion?
Cheers.
Did you get the details of the guy that hit you? If you have something that can identify the at fault driver you should be covered if you have comprehensive car insurance.
