FFFFUUUUU - Rage

[manyu]

All this while I was trying to get the other insurance to pay up for the damage, then this happened.
I don’t know why, but I seem to have had a lot of bad luck this month. This was in peak hour traffic, I was sitting in traffic and this guy in a white triton ute hits me from the back and tries to do a runner on me. He obviously couldn’t get far away as the gentle man in a civic blocked his way. He got out, apologised and then gave me his details.

I think I just cried a little .

Good on the Civic driver!
I'm very sorry to see the damage, hope it all goes smoothly getting repaired...

Bloody hell mate. You sure are having a bad time. Hope things work out for you. Why is it that on both occasions that people at fault doing runners? Gets you thinking about the morals of peeps these days eh?
Good on the baker and civic driver! This is going to sound like a complicated combined insurance claim.
My yellow RS recently had a whole splatter of stone chips on all the panels of the front end of my car from a roadworks truck overtaking me and hitting a bump and unloading a whole lot of rocks onto mine. Getting it assessed by the insurance company tomorrow so fingers crossed it all gets fixed. Windscreens scratched and chipped too

I won't lie, I cried when it happened.

I hope it does, can anyone recommend a good smash repairer for Skoda?

Sure isn't a good time for me to be driving. I just don't get it why the triton was trying to make a runner though, he has full comprehensive insurance on it :L And its not a car park incident where the owner didn't notice so Im going to chuck a runner.

Because, he would still have to pay the excess, and his premiums will go up. Different insurers have different definitions BTW about rating 1 for life etc. RACV increased our premiums as a friend hit our car. Their insurance covered everything and the only involvement RACV (which is NRMA) had was that we informed them what had happened and that it had been repaired by AAMI. Next renewal and we had a big hike, they said even though we were rating one, we still lost some bonuses due to an accident.

So we moved to AAMI who had no such thing. Having said that my Skoda is with RACV as AAMI charge more if you use your car for work.

Man, I really feel sorry for you, consider I have such a passion for the Superb and am in the process of getting one myself. I would hate to see anyone who would do it to my car!

I wonder if you actually live in Sydney? I was originally from Sydney, after living there for 17 years and got so sick of the traffic, I decided to move up to Brisbane. I have to say, in Sydney people become mean! No offense, because myself included. This is because the stress level in Sydney is so high that everyone tend to lose their mind a bit and do things that doesn't make sense.

After 5 years away from Sydney, I went back last year to see the AIMS. I couldn't believe how bad the traffic has become. No one will ever give way if you need to change lane, despite you had indicator on for ages. I even try to wave my hand to let them know I need to change lane (Not to cut off others, but I have to make a left turn so I need to go to the outer lane), all I got was a louder horn!

Once I went to fish market, holding my son trying to get some food. After lining up for 20-30 minutes, there was this guy who just pushed in. I was not polite and pointed out that I've been waiting for the last 20-30 minute, rather than an apology, he just said "it's OK, mate!" If I wasn't holding my son I would have punched him

The whole week in Sydney I got so stressed that my temper became so short. I yelled at the kids a lot more! Even they were so shocked how did their dad got so mean!

Well, as soon as I come back to Brisbane, things got a lot better. Of course, i am sure there will be some mean person here too. But I believe with the much relaxed lifestyle here, maybe we have a bit less of them.

Hope all things work out for you.

Well I guess stress is a factor, but tell me who tries to run away from a crash scene during peak hour traffic?! Oh, yeah I do live in Sydney [NSW - plates ] But yeah, the only time I didn't let a car into my lane is because he was being a prick on the road changing lanes without indicating and speeding. I thought he didn't deserve to be given way. But other than that, even though I'm a P-plater I let people in if I see that they NEED to change.

It definitely was the last thing I wanted to happen to me. Not very long ago, I crashed my brothers **** box. It wasn't totalled, but I feel guilty and this couldn't have come at a worse time :L

Bad luck Manyu Hope thats the last of your problems with the superb!

Some people panic I spose, maybe he panicked for a second before he come to his senses.

As for sydney traffic. Faaaark - its terrible and I find its the ****/inconsiderate drivers that make everyone stressed. Glad I live out west near a trainline.
