A Pissed Off Evening Today
Guys, i would like to share something and see what advise from you.
At around 5.40pm just now, i was driving at PIE towards Jurong after P.Lebar exit. I was driving on the extrem 2nd left lane and on my left, which is the 1st lane there was another van. between my ride and the van is less than 1 car length.
suddenly, came 1 dyna lorry travelling very fast behind the van and trying to overtake into my lane on my left, and very close to me. as i knew that it is immpossible for him to overtake and switch lane to his right in such a small space, i slow down and try to let the dyna overtake.
Then suddenly, he just drove out and cut into mine lane. guessed what, half of his lorry bed banged onto my left hand mirror, scratching and dented my side door, bumper and headlight. he did not stop, until i Highbeamed him. finally he stopped his lorry with me behind him, got down, and accussed me of not giving him way even though he had signalled just now.
i told him, u're damn close to me, and at that speed u're immpossible to overtake. and i told him, i was starting to slow down and u just cut into my lane so fast!
he kept maintaining that he is not in the wrong and talk cocky. i wanted to take down his particulars but he refuse. i F*** him infront of his face saying: Uncle u damn cocky, u got attitude talking is it!!!
in the end, he just asked me to take down his vehicle number, and just tell me his lorry insurance is from NTUC.
i was damn freaking fuming. so tomorrow, i am going to make an insurance report and claim against him.
so, is my case sure win, or 50% winning?
need advise. but i am sure going to claim him and write a report all pointing at him.......................................

Re: A Pissed Off Evening Today
it pains my heart to hear abt hiace abuse like this. stupid dyna driver. within the same family sumore.. where is the love.. on more serious note. make the insurance claim.. best thing would be to have his particulars.. not just the lorry number. coz he could not have a license and just bang.. then say claim insurance but neva give particulars so he wont kena cialat.. just the insured person's name will kena..

He did show me his driving license. But he just won't let me take down his particulars. But what I am worried is, will I have 100% win on this suitation? If he were to bang my ride's back, I'll sure win.
He talked to cocky. I must have a sure win claim.

Re: A Pissed Off Evening Today
this is a 50-50 case..
did he show you the DL? if yes, y dun you take a photo of it?
If there r a witness, it will be much easy issue liao.
so from wat i understand, it bang from your left side before front wheel area rite? how is his damage?

Re: A Pissed Off Evening Today
Bro, so sorry to hear about your incident. My advice would be for u to make a police report as well as a report with your insurance company as soon as possible. Don’t sit on it ya.
From my understanding it was a side collision and from I know, U should be able to win over the claims. He was trying to cut into his lane. We have learnt in driving school that if a driver is unable to get change lane in traffic, HE should slow down and change lane from the back and not force his way in.
It's only when u hit his back, will there be in conflicts. Hope yr ride is fine……

Re: A Pissed Off Evening Today
Hang in there Bro. What goes around, comes around.
Try to claim for your loss in income for every day that yr ride is in the workshop.
I'm in the east area , was pissing for about 20 min tops. Much better now. Take Care...

Re: A Pissed Off Evening Today
after my experience with a taxi, now take photo also cannot help.
that is why now i've put an in car dvr n record it from the start i start to drive to work till i reach home.
but the again, it depend on ur luck. when i record, nothing happen, when i didn't record, knn 1 malaysian bus cut into my lane n bang my ride. call NTUC, they said they cannot do the claim for me as i hold a third party insurance with them n also accident involve with foreign vehicle and i need to source for a workshop that can do a claim against foreign vehicle.
so lan lan, must bear the repair cost myself.

Re: A Pissed Off Evening Today
yup, i agreed with u. sometimes, we got to depend on our luck. even if we are alert and pay more extra careful on the roads, will still meet with some accident again.Samurai wrote:after my experience with a taxi, now take photo also cannot help.

as we know, we are paying higher premiums for our insurance now adays, we had to be extra alert. if we are at fault... the next insurance renewal will be headache.
Re: A Pissed Off Evening Today
but franky speaking... premium high... but need to clain that time give you all sort of excuse....
say we consumer anyhow claim.... but saw a recent news... a taxi driver claim against a driver over 80K ... after 3 yrs from accident... with only slight light bump... taxi driver perfectly ok at that time..
things to be claim:
Lost of income
major repair of taxi rear.
tooth decay???? ( this is something i dun understand... n it happen 3 yrs after the accident when he go to dentist.)
so like tat also can..

Re: A Pissed Off Evening Today
some point to take note in an event of an accident...
Both parties must exchange particulars... if one of you refused, the other party have to lodge a police report.. one of the main reason is the other driver can ask somebody else to take the rap (for example, the driver has no license, or is under suspension etc etc, or he can just say that he was not the driver during the accident, then there will be some differences in both statements) but still, u still have to pay excess for the repairs first when u make the insurance claim... if you win 100%, they will refund you the excess. But this process takes a very long time.
If you are involved in an accident with a foreign vehicle or government vehicle, you must call 999 as this will be a police case. So remember to call for police assistance when this happens.
The best way to handle is question the other driver if he is really at fault... if he do admitted to you at the scene, ask him to write in black and white immediately with his signature with time and date stated in the statement.

Re: A Pissed Off Evening Today
But for my case, the other party is not cooperative. Just show me his driving licence, ask me to make a claim against his insurance, and hurrily walk off, drove away.

Yes.. that driver is smart for being not cooperative as you had lost ur cool... but u mentioned he showed u his driving license but refused to let u take down his details. One thing he is wrong here is failing to cooperate and exchange his particulars with u. And since you have his vehicle number, my advice is u can go down to any NPC and ask the officers for advice... by telling them the full incident.. whereby he hit u and failed to stop right at the scene and you have to go after him to stop him, in addition to he failed to cooperate with u and refuse to give u his full personal particulars and just drove away. I believed the police will make a formal report for you and then ask you to proceed to make another report with the insurance company for 3rd party claim. Although this might be a 50/50 case due to lack of witnesses and evidence... at least there is some hope whereby ur insurance company and the police will do an investigation for you. Be reminded there is a camera at every 10-15 lamp post on the expressway... so hopefully that accident scene might be captured.. maybe u can ask the traffic police investigator if they can check from there, though this is not a serious accident, but maybe u can try ur luck. Maybe can fight for 80% so at least you dun have to pay so much for ur repairs and ur insurance premium won't be affected.
Jus my 2 cents worth.. hope this helps
