Coming home bout an hour ago and a Toyota Tarago - older model - silver in colour with 5 young middle eastern guys in the car came straight thru a give way sign and wiped me out.
Whats worse is they took off.
Got their rego SJI248.
Front guard and light is fucked, suspension tower is sitting against the boot, steering arm is bent, rear guard is damaged.
Had a witness but he left while i was distracted...
Anyways i have a headache, but both me and my mate are ok.
Coppers came and took details....
Well i hope for the lil punks that hit me's sake that they ran because they were scared and didnt know what to do.
BUT the coppers better catch up with them before i do - or ima start by putting my boot up their assess, and then take it from there.
If anyone knows this car by any chance go to the cops and tell em.
Disgracelful behaviour! Hopefully justice will be served!

That's such a shame, Quickbug, Speedster and Blue. 🙁 Why can't these things happen to people who drive rusty old pieces of crap that they don't even care about? For some reason other people seem to think that just because we drive an old car, it isn't important to us.😠
Tazzielittle ·
I do believe they should be made to do a public anouncment stating their F**kheads and they should be deported.
And buy the way VWFOOL...
NICE AVTAR!

What SUCKS is TPG's (My internet (NON)Servce provider) policy on "Undesireable content.
Because I'm on a "Buisiness" plan they filter the content I can surf and naughty words get a score and eventually I cant get into a site anymore - believe it or not skewty you using the word "Sucks" was enough to get this post banned. - A nice big ACCESS DENIED message.
Anyway on the scale of things Quickbug I suppose I should be grateful - truly sorry to hear about this I hope it works out ok 4 you - do we have an update on the costs yet (Yeah I know its more than the $$).
..... So how am I here if this site is banned ?
Hehe one of my functions in life (and my job) is to occaisionaly poke at computer security stuff.
Scores so far in Oz
Best - ANZ bank
Worst (by far) TPG, Take a bow guys you make me cringe.

Shite...I just passed that Tarago (SJI248)not more than 30 mins ago. It was parked in a Shell servo on Kingsgrove Road northside off the M5 East turnoff.
Silver with some factory black/gray graphics on the side. Drivers door and front corner smashed in. Young Asian girl sitting in the passenger seat.
What's happening?
Took down the rego and checked as soon as I got home.
Quickbug ·
Are you serious?
Thats the freakin car that hit me!!!
I so wanna stick my boot up that kids ****!!!
Asian girl? really? It was full of young middle eastern guys when they hit me....
I dont have costs for the repairs yet - i have to locate the owners/driver, then get my car quoted and send them a letter of demand. Find out then if they are insured etc....
Im really screwed up - i drive my car everywhere and getting to work is all messed up - there is no public transport where i am....
GRRRR :cussing:cussing
speedster356 ·
I think you can find the owner thru the RTA...you used to be able to do it years ago, I don't know if it changed.
If I had a number I would have called, checked and parked them in, always keen for some excitment like that!
Have the police been any help?
Jay_1965vw ·
I had a chick run into me a couple of years ago and she didn't stop. I called the cops with her licence number, and they chased her up, went round to her house.
When they had agreement from her that she did it they gave me her name, number and address I think.
Hope you have some success too.

VWFOOL ·
hey lyle,
theres a good explanation for that, honestly.
no avatars of mine would work, then i tried urs which was not uploaded to the forum server (and i liked coz its a yellow bug) to c if it would work and it does, so i hav borrowed it for the moment till i can get one of mine to work. hope u dont mind lol.
does anyone know why my avatras wont work, is there a size limit i dont know about?
Tazzielittle ·
hmmmmmm
how bout i work out a contract so you can lease it from me.....
LOL
$10 a day sounds like a start?
:alien
vw54 ·
1. Ive had 2 dickheads run into me in the past 12 months or so.
2. did you report it to the police...
3. if your insured just ring your insurance and let them do the leg work to get it from the other driver.
4 i say stuff eum i am sick of them just sue them or let yr insurance do the work for you.

Getting hit and run sucks. Hopefully they find the cretin who ran off.
Btw, Rhys, your comment is pffensive to many and definitely against the federal Racial Hatred act and the Victorian Racial And Religious Tolerance act. I'm not going to edit it (which gives us vicarious liability), but you should - and soon.
Think before you post. It's absolutely fair enough to express your displeasure, but it's not okay to spread racial vilification here. What happens if they're born here like I am? If I do a hit and run, do I get to go back to England because that's where my parents come from? No, and neither should they. They will pay for their crime of not stopping at an accident through the justice system. For failing to stop, they would lose their license for two years under Victorian law, for example. Hard to say, laws vary by state and judges do some weird things.
The cops say it could take up to SIX MONTHS to do the leg work coz of the back load of work they have :o:o😠😠
The bastards could fix their car and deny it all by then!!!
I am only insured TPPD - if you can find an insurance co that will comprehensively insure an under 25 with mods like mine and not charge me two kidneys and a liver then pleaaaaaaaaaaase let me know...
So for now I have to do the legwork!!
Im not sure that the rta will give out their info due to the privacy act - but ill give it a a bash anyway. Bet they say let the coppers handle it.
I dont even have the money to get my steering and suspension fixed now then deal with the rest later. 🙁

I am insured with Shannons and have not had any problems yet.
kombi_kid ·
the comments gone(sorry for it just seen something on tyhe news previously before writting it!!!)
and shannons wont insure people under 25🙁 easy way ios to get ur parents to insure it and they give u the right to drive it!!! (only disadvantage with that is if your with NRMA or whateva they wont give u bonus's etc when ur over 25)
cheers

Shannons win my vote
Someone smashed into my old purple bug outside my house. I came out one morning and the car was on the pavement, and no sign of anyone. I thought it was a hit and run! The Mrs told me to call the cops and low an behold there had been a crash earlier that morning and a car had spun into mine. The cops said they were just about to call me (yeah right!).
Anyway Shannons let me choose my body shop, sent an assessor out the next day, and the following day the car was in being fixed. It was ready 3 days later. Most efficient service, and I didn't have to fill in a single form.
Go Shannons
Bizarre ·
Matra
that is VERY interesting, cause Shannons wouldnt insure me unless i kept my car in a locked garage.
Now i have a lockable garage at my place out the back, it is just that we did a extension across the 6' wide drive way cause we never use it anyway.
Do you have a lockable driveway?
Quickbug ·
Insuring under your parents name is ok when you live at home - but it amounts to FRAUD when you live at another address.
This leads to your claims being refused, and you end up in an even worse situation than i am.
And also - do you guys realise the amount of mods on my bug?!?!? :o
My old bug used to be insured with Shannons UNDER MY PARENTS NAME WHEN I LIVED AT HOME and STILL cost me $1500 a year, with a frikin huge exces...Even then they probably would have refused a claim because of the extensive mods! I know shannons are good - but they arent that good!
Mr Bubblehead ·
AAMI third party property insurance will cover you up to $3000.00 against an un-insured driver if you are not at fault.....but they MUST be un-insured.
Quickbug ·
Yeah thats right Mr BubbleHead - most TPPD policies work that way including mine.
The problem is you have ot be able to give the FULL NAME AND ADDRESS of the at fault driver AND they HAVE TO ACCEPT LIABILITY FOR THE ACCIDENT....🙁
Time goes on and these bastards could be fixing their car - then i wont have a leg to stand on... 😠
:cussing
matara ·
The car is usually kept in a security carspace un the units where I live. I parked it outside that night as a one off. (If they asked I was going to say I moved it out there that morning -crash was a 6-20am).
Yep your right Shannons will only insure you if you have the car in a garage or locked driveway at night!
Cheers

"be fixing their car - then i wont have a leg to stand on... "
Dont forget someone here has witnessed that the car involved was damaged in the way you described within days of your accindent - Voila you have a witnes of sorts

Ive got about 60 or so MODs on my car...
they inspected it and no problems.
Quickbug ·
True Fatboy - i dont know how well that would stand up in court but its something...
Dave - i know your car.
I know you even if you dont realise it...
:P
My mods are a lot more noticible to the average person than yours.
Still doesnt solve my prob of being under 25 and not living at home.
Thanks anyway.... 🙂

SIMPLE lie to the insurance company
Tell eum yr over 25
Does yr car require a Engineers cert ???
fatboy ·
Hi Quick,
I've tried ringing some mates to see if they can do a trace for you but aparently they can get into seriious **censored** for it.
However they were pretty adamant that although your insurance company will tell you you have to provide a name that you can just provide them with the rego and the name of any witnesses (including the guy from here ?) and if you shout loud enough at them they will deal with it.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Quickbug ·
Dave - now i know you are joking :o
Fatboy - thanks for trying anyway.
I actually work for the insurance co that my car is insured with - unfotunately i know they wont do anything till i give them the full name and address of the driver/owner of the car AND they admit liability...
Im working on a few leads at the moment... Hopefully something will come of it...
BTW - that insurance is a ripoff! But then what insurance isnt?
