Your statement is wrong, the vehicle pulling out is 100% liable. Horn is irrelevant. I have no idea which kid told you that! Oh and insurance companies run buy strict governing body, it is impossible for them to scam you. I tend to think you are not being serious, I hadn't heard anything this funny ever!

You don't know anything do you? if your hit and your car is still moving and you hit someone in front of you YOU pay for what you hit your fault, they pay for the damage from the contact with your car but nothing else. If you have come to a stop and someone hits you then they pay for all of it.

If you drive a $40,000 car and pay $600-$900 a year for insurance then it is relatively cheap but not for a car thats worth only 6 or 7 times the premuim its not cheap at all.
p.s how many people are on there parents insurance? because they can get out of that if your not careful i.e " oh its my car its just on my parents insurance" bam now its not |

funny considering im not a lawyer and they were represented by lawyers.
The last girl even brought in all the evidence for me! she photographed the area and submitted the photos to support her arguement they ended up support my arguement and the Judge agreed. she paid for it all sh'e just lucky i didn't get my personal costs in it. (she took me to court not the cops so it was a civil hearing) |

Also did you know that in a carpark if both cars are moving and they have a collision then they pay for there own damage - i might get a heap of **** and head for south yarra for some laughs.

Just because it was ruled by the court doesn't neccessarily make it right. How many people have got off on crap that their nuts should of been nailed for?

Personally, I still maintain that driving without insurance is just plain stupid. At least have third party property. I tell you what.. if anyone slammed into me without insurance I'd be taking them to court. Sure you might get away with only paying me 10 bucks a week for 30 years but your credit rating would be lower than the front bar on a rice burner. Without a credit rating, you wouldnt be able to have a credit card.. or a loan (home loan... car loan... etc.). For 800 bucks a year, I think thats cheap compared to what you would have to pay for otherwise.

You wouldn't be taking me to court - you have insurance remember! The insurance company would be.... i already have the credit cards and will never have a home loan (who can afford houses) plus owing $40k to some insurance company is hardly bad owning a $300k house at 15% will be ($45k /year) |

I'm going to close this thread now. Some of the logic is giving me a mental brain lock.
For those not insured out there... good luck. As for me, I'm covered. So if I punt a Rolls Royce into an electricity sub station... I'm covered. If you are confident you can cover the worst possible situation without insurance then I guess its all cool then. As for owing $40K on a smashed up car rather than $300K on a house... try selling the smashed up car for a profit, not going to happen.
