FOR FUCKS FUCKING SAKE!

tonight of all nights,

lets paint a picture, i live opposite a strip club, its not bad actually, been there a few times, missus agrees its not the best but a good watering hole. there is a 90deg turn out of their drive onto my/our street, just a small street, four houses. most week nights we would expect a few patrons decide when they're leaving to try their hand/foot at drifting. most of them succeed, but every now and then you get one who hits a curb, takes a tree out.

about 10 months ago we had some drunken bitch crash through out brick fence. she was so lucky because another meter left and she would have wound up with a boat trailer in her fucking head. she did a drive off and i jumped in a car and caught her once she cooked her engine. promptly made sure she was okay other than drunk, got her license details and passed them to the approiate place.

fast forward 8 months, the real estate finally got the wall fixed, all is happy.

now tonight, about 6:30pm, my flatmate and i had just walked outside to have a beer, i think i got maybe two mouth fulls of beer when i heard the familiar sound of tyres losing traction, a few seconds after that came the sound of locked up brakes, i could hear the squealing of someone who had over corrected too much then thought "FARRRKKKKK" hit the brakes!! a second or two later...

BOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!! something that felt like an earth quake rocked through the house, we knew instantly what had happened. the flatmate and i piss bolted out the front of the house.

and there it was. a EA/EB falcon planted squarely into my daily driver, a white HH Galant!

at that point i was fucking ropeable, ran straight up to the car, tried to open the his door, it wouldnt open, im not sure if it was because he had locked the doors or what. i glanced in the window, he looked a bit dazed from the collision, i started banging on the window, he looked at me, then started trying to figure out why his POS ford wouldnt start in drive. i had a glance around at what he had just done to my cars then started punching his window trying to get him to look at me!

he got the car going, slammed it in reverse. as he started tearing up my lawn i realized i had a beer in my hand and smashed it in his drivers window.

i know it wasnt the brightest thing to do, BUT I WAS FUCKING PISSED OFF!

anyway, this complete genius continues to drive backwards, with his foot to the floor, hits the brick wall on the opposite side of the street, after a few seconds (20 odd) realizes he cant go back any more, then proceeds to mash drive all the way up the street!

my flatmate managed to get his plate and with typical police response time they were here.

anyway, to the carnage!






this is where he reversed.




when the cops where taking our statements, they mentioned the the person "probably" has a disqualified license and they will visit him shortly.

now i dont know if this should be a rant or not, im just so fucked off i need to vent!

now what im wondering is, was i wrong in smashing a bottle on his car, could that be a bad thing if it goes to court?

FUCK IT!
 
You shouldn't worry about the cops putting that bit of your statement in his brief of evidence bro. If they had a problem, then they'd arrest you seperately.

I feel for ya aye. I'm really amazed though- amazed at how well you put this thread together with the amount of beers you must have had already!!!

found the pic for the first acco,

seriously, if the chick had hit the wall a few meters over she hould have been fucked.

you can see from the skids she left she went upto a couple a meters from the actualt house!





that big bit of brick, is what was on her bonnet, and smashed her windscreen!

cant believe this, obviously i have far too much faith in the human race, either that or darwin is failing because of social welfare grants.

grrrrrrr!
 
lol your parro, im parro what a great time to be on the forums..
unlucky about your car.. praise the ggsr's..
my dad had the exact same thing and had drunken cunts smash into his front yard every odd weekend, he said he smashed 3/4 of them and never got in trouble, (make sure its OFF your property)
 
R.I.P. to the ggsr that didnt get crushed.

not the way i thought she would go, and i really did try to make sure the driver was okay, but his door wouldnt open, and he wasnt responding to voice. so i decided the best to make sure he was okay was to get his attention.

should've used my sledge hammer though.
 
Dont take this the wrong way....but I hope that the cops dont catch this guy till tomorrow. that way if he was drunk at least you might still get to claim on his insurance if he has any. other wise if they get him while he is still drunk his insurance co wont pay out and you will have to sue him.

did you tell the cops you broke the bottle on his window?.......if you didnt then dont. were there any independant witnesses that saw the bottle hit the car?

the down side to the bottle incident if he remembers it, his lawyer will use that as his excuse for leaving the scene. citing the fact you were agressive and violent{punching the windows} this violence escalated to the use of the bottle as a weapon..........see where this is going.........he left the scene out of fear for his safety.

the other side of the coin is he may have been so pissed he wont remember it anyway.

you need to get on to this incident really quickly ....ask all of your neighbours exactly what they saw. take notes as they speak to you about the incident.

go the the pub and ask wether they know him and that he was in an accident as they too may be in the crap for serving some one when they are drunk. If he gets nailed tonight and his blood alcohol level is high they can work it backwards to the time of the crash. use this angle with the police too if he is not insured or his insurance is refused. never know it might work you may have a just case with that

is your car insured?..........if yes then claim quickly.....before this idiot goes to court. because if he has insurance they might just cancel his policy.

hope you get this sorted...really shitty luck

the problem was,

i was at home, getting drunk on a friday arvo with my flatmate.

i didnt expect someone to write one of my cars off and severly damage another. what i did was wrong, but for crying out loud, i wasnt driving drunk (hearsay) losing control (hoon activities) causing thousands of dollars of property damage, but i was quite pissed off!. I know how fucking lawyers work thats whay getting me, because its an easy way out for them.

eh, anyway... i already made a statement to the police, had them here at home, they're were not entirely interested in my account of the beer bottle for possibly some of the reasons you mentioned above brian.

but i dont lie, so i told the truth, so it is recorded.
 
yep I know how the mongrels{lawyers} work too.

your right you werent doing anything wrong and you were drinking responsibly at home not out driving and drinking.

the police probably wont act on the bottle incident unless he makes a complaint. so I wouldnt be too worried about it anyway. youve done the right thing giving a full account of what happened.

i hope they nail him
 
Geez mate, I feel bad for ya :x Dont worry about the 'punching window' thing because as I understand it you were concerned for the driver's well being after the accident as he looked dazed. You banged on the window to get his attention to open the door but he wouldnt open it. Then you noticed he was trying to flee the scene of the accident without leaving his details so you naturally tried what you could to get his attention and detain him. At the point the guy was trying to flee you can make a citizens arrest and if that meant doing whatever you could within reasonable means you're OK :) So if you smashed the window and grabbed the guy or keys out of the car you would be actually doing him and the law a favour considering he looked like he was intoxicated and you would have stopped him from potentially causing even more harm to other road users or property. I would have smashed the window and grabbed the fuker as well cause who knows what damage he may cause or who he may injure in a car accident etc after taking off.
 
freakin hell! GG to those dickheads! should have got a picture of the drink idiot in the car....
 
Fuck mate, that is a great start to the weekend eh? He did a great job of fucking up your car, got both sides and then some on the rav! how bad was the damage to the front end of his? Will be a bit hard for him to get out of this. I hope it works out good for you in the end..
 
his car had no head lights left, and a big smash in the back where he reversed and hit the wall.

spose i will be wrecking ggsr...
 
I wouldnt stress over him having a lawyer and trying to say "He feared for his life after you smashed a bottle on his windows"

The flip side is "I tried to open the door to ensure he was ok, but it would open, i tapped on his window and was asking if he was ok and to step out of the vehicle, He looked at me and promptly tried to start his car as if I dii not exist, i tapped again on the glass and asked him if he was ok, to which he started the car, That is when i smashed the bottle on the window. I had hoped that the window would have smashed so that I could have turned the car off and avoided him causing more damage to himself and adjoining properties. However, That did not work as planned and eh took off, as you can see by my photos there was more damage done by him not getting out than me trying to break his window"

So, the question you ask yourself is, would any other reasonable person in your situation have done a similar thing? Would they have followed the same path, Im sure any judge will agree that what you did was non threatening and that the driver was drunk . You could claim that he tried to run you oer with the car, that will f&*K him good aswell.

Now, for insurance purposes. I don't know if HIS insurance will cover you BUT if you have insurance on your property/car, Then go through your own insurance company ASAP.. Get the vehicle repaired and the other person will be liable for all expenses, your insurance company will chase him up. Thats what i have done in the past, call my insurance company, explain situation, get reference numbers, go get repaired. done, not your problem to get the money, not at fault. :)

But good luck with it all,lucky it was not another car sitting out the front.
 
the galant wasnt insured, and the rav has 3rd party only :(

once my head ache has cleared i will go outside for a proper look.

see if he is insured first and if they are going to pay. they may write your car off, pay you out market value. then you buy the wreck abck and wreck it.

is yours insured?

the gaylant wasnt insured, and i just found out my dad hadnt gotten around to insuring his rav.

i cant fucking believe he didnt insure it!

:( fucking bullshit!
 
just went outside, to face the daylight.

pulled the galant off the rav, he actually hit the cars so hard its poped two tyres of the galant!



a bit of sill damage on the rav, probably means its written off too!



when he reversed out, he hit the wall on the other side of the road, he has actually pushed the wall back!



almost looks like he got a bit bogged as he tried to make his get away!



still cant believe this shit!

i went out and spent $70 at the butcher this morning, celebrating with 2.4kg (4 steaks) of moo moo cow, few satay and honey and soy sticks, lots of french cutlets and another box of beers.

*sigh*
