Hit by a car

[Donut]

Was going down avalon drive in hamilton when a car pulled out from a side road and hit me side on, they said that they didnt see me the bike is pretty much stuffed car not so bad and i got a sore ass from flying thru the air and landing on it.

neither me or them had insurance am yet to find out if they are willing to pay for damages or if im goin to have to take them to court over it

[sunhuntin]

not too sore i hope?

damn blind ass cagers... im bettin they refuse to pay out, and chances are it wont be worth going to court over.

[firefighter]

Another good reason for compulsary third party.Fu*kn bastards make them sell their car to pay for it.......if not get feral!

Comprehensive insurance is like $140 a year, that aint much.

[CB ARGH]

Threaten to take them to court. This usually makes them think... ohhh shit.

Bad luck mate, hope all is well.

[mowgli]

That sucks. Don't back down. Good luck

Keep the pressure on them. The main thing is that you are ok.
How is the bike?
The drunk taxi driver that hit me many years ago didnt have insurance I went to cort and ended up getting $10.00 a month. Even then It took allmost 6 months to get anything from him.... Worse of nothing happend to him as driving a taxi was his income so he got a worning me no bike.

Make sure the cops are notified.

Make sure the cops are notified.

Wot 'e sed.

It could all end in tears when the car driver tries to claim you were pisse/speedin or whatever and therefore not his fault.

[fireball]

i bet paying the 10 bucks a week for insurance is looking good now.....

sucks buddy but glad youre ok now call the cops and keep the pressure on them to pay for the fix good luck..

[Warr]

Thats not too good at all.
So will you be busing it now

[DarkLord]

Sorry to hear that man. Good luck with getting this sorted out. If you do end up getting another bike I would strongly recommend insurance. I wrote my bike off and totaled a car a few months back but insurance covered both me and them.

Keep us posted.

gutted eh i think organising insuranse on newer bikes is essential you i doubt they will cough up the money if they dont pay go to court with the neck brace and blacken your eyes for the sympathy vote then

State. Yep just checked to make sure, $140.70 for 12 months full comprehensive motorcycle insurance. Excess of $400, plus $700 if under the age of 21.
