Let's play "Chicken"!

[Owl]

I was just involved in a head-on accident at 8.35pm tonight in my partner's car.

I'd stopped in the turning bay to turn right into my street when a Primera decided to play “chicken”. Thinking someone was just trying to give me a scare (actually fucken did), he drove straight into the front driver’s side of the car.:dodge:

One hell of a bang, both airbags fired and one poor Celica spun backwards 90°! Car is totalled with frontal damage and right front wheel folded under wheel arch.

Quite stunned, I got out of the car to find several people already gathering and a nice lady telling me she saw the whole thing as she was following the other driver. I think the young driver may have been distracted, as the contents of his McDonalds milkshake were all over the inside of the windscreen!:confused:

Anyway thing’s really get interesting now as the Celica can’t be moved, so two witnesses position their cars with hazard lights to warn other motorists. Three of us are standing by the Celica, when all of a sudden, a Commodore runs into the back of one of the witnesses cars (Lancer). Cops arrive and it turns out the Commodore driver has been drinking and the poor girl with the Lancer has no insurance!:no:

What a shit night! I guess I'll be handing over my car to my partner and riding the bike to work for a while!:confused:

I don't think it'll be too inconvenient as it turns out Bill! Tracy plans to borrow a car she partly owns.:yes:

[ynot slow]

At least your insurance will pay out for you,then target the other person if they were insured.Feel sorry for the girl in the other car hit by the drunk guy,typical he has no insurance if under the influence,and she has none so no insurance company to fight for her.

[Slyer]

I'm not even sure my celica has airbags. :D
Is it the 2000 model?

[Grizzo]

Far out dude, hope everything works out!

The young girl will still be able to claim against his insurance as an uninsured third party. He'll have no cover for his own car though.

1996 Slyer!

[portokiwi]

Just glad you are ok mate.
Hope things get sorted out fast and you have the 4 wheels back on the road again.

[NZsarge]

Shit mate! Glad to hear you are'nt too worse for wear, that shit sucks bro!

[cowboyz]

holy crap batman. got some demo derby going on in town that they forgot to tell you about or are you just trying to drum up more business?

It will buff out and I have a spray gun here you could borrow............................

[oscarnz]

Not good at all Al, glad to hear you are ok.
Some people just shouldnt be on the road!!!
Hopefully he will be charged and learn to pay attention

[Owl]

I know spray guns and I certainly wouldn't be using that to paint a motor vehicle!:laugh: How did the fence painting go anyway?

He'll certainly be charged! He tried to say the milkshake was on the passenger seat, but strange how it completely covered the driver's side of the windscreen!:laugh: Just a kid really, but he did admit liability and he apologised!

[Slyer]

How else do you paint a car?
Maybe my car does have airbags lol....
Almost had a collision this morning when someone pulled out in front of me without looking.

[Owl]

Quality spray gun dude, so not that one! It's a cheap piece of shit I bought to paint my fence.

Bugger! I'm starting to think some people have their eyes drawn on their head!:yes:

[Slyer]

Painted on eyes work just as well as real eyes when you don't even look. :bleh:

Cheers Lance, but I think we'll be right! Tracy's planning to borrow her aunty's car.:2thumbsup

[Tank]

Where was Fatt Max while all this was happening?:shit:

Driving down the road in his Primera happily eating a Big Mac and drinking a milkshake.

[MsKABC]

That sucks big time :( Glad you are ok :) Hope you get the car sorted soon.

[banditrider]

Bejeebus! That suxs Al. Glad you were not on your bike man!

[Pegasus]

That sucks big time :( Glad you are ok :) Hope you get the car sorted soon.

Yeah I'm glad he's ok too. But I am not impressed at having to drive the Mazda:weep: I want my pretty red car back, but don't think that’s going to happen some how. Cant get it assessed, then probably written off, till Tuesday.

I might have to get confident enough to take the VL250 to work myself:2thumbsup:

Not so sure about the losers on the road that seem to target my car though.
:weep:

Apologies for killing your car babe!:Oops:


Bejeebus! That suxs Al. Glad you were not on your bike man!

Had I been on the bike, I’d be one very unhappy camper. The moron didn’t brake at all, so impact would’ve been between 50-60kph.
I’ll have a bit more respect for stock car drivers now, as even that speed actually fucken hurts!:yes:


That sucks big time :( Glad you are ok :) Hope you get the car sorted soon.


geez .. glad your alright mate!!! .. scary stuff

Cheers for the thought's everyone!:niceone: At least my headache has gone.:yes:
