I just got my car crashed, the driver said he didn't see me. We exchanged driver's licenses.

What should I do?

    Member since 2010 and no car insurance… Damn, hand in your ozb membership

    You should just take this as a learning experience and buy insurance :)

  • DuckKnight on 15/12/2024 - 00:59

    Get a quote from the mechanic and get them to pay the cost

      Since when do mechanics do panel beating?

        Ours did a Father Ted on the bonnet. Presuming they dropped the socket drive.
        Rough as guts seems to be the way these days.

    File a police report and you should ask him to fix your car or you can negotiate and settle for cash as well.

    the driver said he didnt see me because he was trying to setup his mobile phone.

    "Sorry, my fault, just lost attention and noticed you too late" would sound like a fair admission to me.

    "It was my fault more than you think, I was doing something illegal and generally stigmatized" sounds a harder buy to me. Might be something funny going on.

    well, you've posted about it on ozbargain so that's all you need to do.

      Next step: I'd like to buy some punctuation Burgo.

        Easier to slap a quick fix on the punctuation than to sort out two uninsured drivers.

    Very unclear, we require a MS Paint diagram and Dashcam Footage to be able to provide an assessment

    Kind regards,

    Edit: Why did you revise your post and remove crucial information about you and the other party (Eg. No insurance)

    Hi Ralph

    After your accident in 2017 with no insurance, it's a bit strange that you're still rolling the dice almost 8 years later

    Did the driver who hit you this time have insurance?

      Apparently a lesson not learnt.

    Did you post this thread as you stood by your car on the side of the road straight after the incident?

  • welcomeUniverseWorld on 15/12/2024 - 07:25

    Don’t you have third party at least?

    • Protractor on 15/12/2024 - 10:37

      No this is only his second crash while unisured. Stay tuned. The party starts at crash number 3.

    You better hope the other driver does the right thing. They could block you or ignore your calls, and then you would need to go to court. This is the second time you have had an accident without insurance.

    Troll post, this early on a Sunday morning?

    Nice ninja edit to remove the fact that you didn’t/don’t have insurance.

    You should do the same thing as what you did last time you didn’t have insurance and were involved in an accident.

    Buy bitcoin. It fixes everything apparently

    Call your insurance company

      Come on now… This is OzBargain…

  • TALL1one on 15/12/2024 - 10:20

    Buy car insurance for future incidents, thank GOD it was only a minor accident & then go on with your life.

    Perfect match ❤️

      I knew a couple that met via a Car Accident.

      I did ask my Boss how many Cars she hit prior to her meeting Mr Right…

      I guess it is more interesting than the "met through friends" or eHarmony or whatever.

    My adviSe is to see legal adviSe.
    The extensive information you provided here, should accelerate the process, and save you some money

  • holdenmg on 15/12/2024 - 10:38

    OMG, OMG

    (OMG).

    How is the car? :+)

  • Euphemistic on 15/12/2024 - 11:02

    Go back and hit his car in revenge. If its still driveable, you need to make it undrivable before any repairs can be made.

      Reads like a car crash and then move along nothing to see….

  • TightAl on 15/12/2024 - 14:06

    Pics or it didn't happen

  • cashless on 15/12/2024 - 14:33

    We exchanged driver's licenses.
    What should I do?

    Firstly, make sure you get your license back

    • Camelface on 15/12/2024 - 14:36

      LOL. Why did they do that?

  • doctordv8 on 15/12/2024 - 15:17

    Reread the Driver Training Manual / Road Rules on the section… What if I am involved in a Car Crash …. again.
