Three guesses who was trying to U-turn off the footpath again?

[Cibby]

another point is, if she seriously thought it was your fault, why did she not seem to care about the large dent you just put in her car?

Good point..

Good on you Mark, you are doing everything right so far..

If you require insurance advise, im a qualified insurance broker and Grahameeboy is an underwriter.. Sometimes it helps to have someone in the industry who knows how to negociate (yell) at insurers effectively, plus its likely that i already deal with the insurer involved if she has one..

Let me know if i can help.

Cheers

Markauckland - Keep a record of when the woman rings your parents place. Plus keep a record of what she says to either you or your parents. She aint allowed to do that... that is called harressment.

Especially after the police had just spoken to her...

Let the police deal with it, plus your insurance company.

DO NOT ring her under any circumstances from now on.

If she rings several times, call Telecom's nuisance calls dept.You don't need to log the calls yourself,just approx times.Telecom will report it to the cops

will get back to you on that.....the cops have got to do an investigation into it...which i'm told by the officer whp helped my out at central last night it could take a while....

went and got a quote for the plastic welding required today....they will plastic weld all that needs doing......and prep and primer it for painting for $200 and to get the paint touched up where it has been welded( not the whole fairings just blending into the existing paintwork....)

add another $400 grand total $600+ gst ....then there is the fork straightening.....$112 including gst.....gotta find out price of new left h /bar....and windscreen........ and how much to get the dents knocked out of the tank.....

i hope this lady has a good insurer cus i aint gunna leave my bike to get fixed by some shitty insurance co work panelbeaters who will make my bike look worse when it comes out than when it goes in....so i got the above quote from a decent company and i aint going for any less quality because there were no cracks all over it before and i want it returned to same standard....


we will see what happens i guess

It will take a very long while and you don't have any guarantee of sucess given its going to be your word against hers. The fact she's denying any wrong doing even when spoken to by a cop isn't a good sign.

If she continues to deny it and it goes to court, its going to go before JP's. Unfortunately with no independent witnesses its going to be a rich middle aged woman with an expensive lawyer vs a young guy on a bike with only a overworked and underpaid police prosecutor on his side.

I would suggest you do as much groundwork as you can, photos of your bike, photos of her car, photos of the intersection and any skid marks. Any evidence you can think of, record.

Plastic welded??

That never works. They will need replacing.

[skidMark]

good luck finding a perfect nick gpx headlight fairing ....bellypan.....and mudguard

[Sketchy_Racer]

not your prob.

Make it her insurance companys prob

[Jsn]

Methinks you'll be needing new fibreglass / carbon-fibre fairings if they don't make regulars for your gpx you never know.. your bike might qualify as a writeoff and you might get a nice big payout

[Sketchy_Racer]

Yep it may just be.

The FXR 150 bucket racer i bought was a write off.

It had a broken left side fairing and a broken mirrior.

That was enough to write it off!!

[skidMark]

i think they would give me almost nothing for it....certainly not enough to replace it....

[FROSTY:Me]

might pay to read the whole thread frosty

Yea I read BOTH threads --his accident happened on (I Thought) 3.6.06 -turns out it was 2.6.06.
Yet the accident doesn't get reported till -TODAY.
I read all the lame excuses -OHH woe is me the cop shop is closed --yea like the whole NZ police force was closed from 3pm on 2.6.06 ??
Woe is me I'm scared my bike will get pinched from in front of central cop shop
A cop CANT refuse to take an accident report.
And so yet another fuckwit cager gets away with it.

Why? The requirement to report within 60 hours just applies a duty to the parties. Even if the time limit is exceeded that does not preclude the police from taking action (providing the statute of limitations period has not expired, but that is years) ; nor does it prevent Mark taking civil action against the other party.
