I was involved in a med speed impact at round about in greenlane yesterday. The driver failed to give way to me orginally speed up and decided to do a u-turn instead and smashed straight into me as i was moving off, and now since he was on my right the cops are looking to charge me with careless use of a motor vehicle. everything from the right front wheel onwards is screwed, got broken steering column, suspension is rooted, i didn't even want to look at the damage but ive been told its pretty bad and possibly to accept that its written off. I have full insurance, but i thought i had an agreed value of $20,000 and not market value. but no my policy states its market value and the guy on the phone i was speaking with said market value for a 99 altezza thats done 65,000 is only $15,000. This can't be right as i bought it for $20,000 negotiated from 24,000. only 2 months ago. What are yours guys thoughts? |

Arrgh! That's terrible man! For the value, all you can do is grab a dozen adverts for similar Altezzas and write a letter to the insurance company. If $15K is their market value tell them you want them to sell you one for that!! Tell us who they are in case we want to avoid them!! As for the cops, you are on the back foot, but all you can do is argue it in Court..

Sorry to hear about your car , insurance sounds rather typical. Suggest get the insurance company involved with your defence, after all its kind of in their interest. |

A colleague at work gets his '01 Legacy B4 re-valued each year, by ringing Winger Subaru and telling them specs and current milage. They then give him trade-in price and "market" price - ie their listing price. One of the Toyota branches may be willing to do the same I assume??? |

PS I was involved in an "incident" a few years back, the cops charged me although I felt 110% that it was not my fault. I stood up in court and argued (sweating, nervous, fell over my tongue) but the judge agreed with me and threw it out - I think the term was "section 14'd" - kind of a dismissal because it should never have gone to court in the first place. He even told the officer off for wasting the courts time. Turns out what I should have done is gone to the police before they actually charged me and negotiated a dismissal or fine, once its a formal charge they can't back out of it. Anyway, mine turned out OK, so sometimes the system works. Hope yours goes OK man. And I really encourage you to go see the police first, talk about options etc. They seem to appreciate it if people come to them and be calm and collected. Good luck and keep us informed!!! |

Not 'd', just Section 14. 14'd like pimp'd. Sorry man, I have nothing at all to refer to, it was over 12 years ago and I just didn't keep shit like that in my younger days. But I can tell you this - it was nothing to do with Land Transport. It was to do with the justice system itself, I think the americans call it the penal code? Section 14 refered to being able to discharge a case without conviction, based on the case being frivolous and "without merit" - I think that was the exact term. Things not going well for you? What did the cops say? |

same thing happened to me went to court for careless use of a motor vehicle talked it over with my dads lawyer and he said there was no point him being there went to court, they let me off any charges coz it was my first major offence so just had to pay court fees and didnt use my diversion but they slapped me with 35 demerits and that took me over 100 demerits so i ended up losing my lience anyway hahah so i reakon if its ur first offence they should go easy on u ay |
