Car Accident...No Insurance!

[Shimian]

Sorry to hear. I would always take out an insurance policy. I know that not everyone can afford insurance, but if you are working, put aside about $2 a day and you will have money to buy insurance. Close to anyways

I'm a full time student - Insurance = $7000/$8000 a year for me and my 91 3rd gen Prelude.... I bought my car for $5000 lol...

I really hope that's a typo.

I'm going through a similar thing with my scooter, my girlfriend was riding when this woman just pulled out of a service station and drove straight into her, luckily no injuries but the scooter is written off, it was brand new(1000 ks) after many phone calls and sending 2 letters of demand she still denies receiving the letters.
I filled out a accident report immediately and have a signed statement from a witness, this happened 4 months ago and look like it's going to drag on.
A friend is going to serve the letter of demand then I'm taking her to magistrates court, though chances of getting my money back look slim.
I used the legal aid website, they have all the info you need there. Good luck

when sending letters, send them via registered post, and tick the option to have a return receipt, i think its called.

basically the person has to sign to receive the registered mail, and then a little slip will be mailed back to you from aus post, with that persons signature on it. so u have proof that the person received the papers.

(had to do that when i went thru court, every time i had paper work sent off to the other party)

Fark. When i was a full time student, my insurance was only $1300-1400. They must see the prelude as a bomb or your driving record sux

i hope thats a typo... a mate of mine has a done up commodore (turbo, chevy engine, fuel management system, etc, etc) and his insurance is only $1500 i think.

i guess the insurance has put ur $ up cos of bad driving record ? age? or maybe the area it is garaged in? maybe preludes r seen as more of a risk 2 get stolen? i dunno

but at that price i'd b shoppin round 4 quotes 4 other insurance companies.

(i have a 02 civic and pay $800/yr comprehensive and i have a rating 2 and i m still thinking of look round 4 a better deal)

Damn I sent the 2nd letter registered but didn't tick the box, I only just saw the boxes on my receipt when you you mentioned it. My associate has talked to her and she's agreed to him delivering the letter in person.

yea its easy to miss.

i went thru court for 10 months getting custody of my son. the ex & her family pulled every trick in the book even after i got a lawyer, so i picked up on quite a few things to do with court. (ie it sucks and takes AGES to accomplish anyting)

If one cannot afford at least 3rd Party Property Damage Insurance, one cannot afford to drive period.

They should make 3rd Party Property Damage cover compulsory, as we can see, many innocent people are victims of uninsured drivers who cannot afford damages thereafter.
