falconutebeast Member 196 Member For: 18y 4m 6d Location: Sydney, Bankstown Posted 21/12/06 10:36 PM Share Posted 21/12/06 10:36 PM a few mates hired a magna for a trip to canberra n back. on the way back we were speeding, but only one person was driving the whole time, (might have to do with new ground speed records we set)anyway, we got done by a radar on the first campbelltown exit, the fine was huge, I took responsiblity for it,and so did my other mate. we paid half his fine.your mate should do the same. he was behind the wheel, he was in control.

No one put pressure on his foot to hit the got fast pedal. None one put his hands on the wheel and asked him to drive like a tosser. In my pointg of view its a silent agreement. If you drive a mates car and f*ck up YOU are responsible and there for YOU pay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Concrete Member 69 Member For: 19y 2m 20d Location: Adelaide Posted 22/12/06 12:17 AM Share Posted 22/12/06 12:17 AM I had a similiar situation happen between my mates involving a cefiro and drifting. I ended up fixing most of the damage just to help out both my friends. The guy who crashed the cefiro is paying up though, but every every slowly.

XR06T Silver Donating Members 4,146 Member For: 19y 3m 1d Gender: Male Posted 22/12/06 02:52 AM Share Posted 22/12/06 02:52 AM What should I do with my "mate" ( I use that term loosely now) who was driving? He isnt accepting any responsibility at all. I dont wanna sound like a *beep*, and I no it's my fault the insurance didnt pay up, but I think maybe he should wear at least some of the blame. He hasnt done squat to help me with this and I think its not on.←that's f*cked mate..I dont know how you managed to find 20k, but you did so I see no reason why your mate couldn't at least help/go halves..I help my mates out when they crash their own cars never mind wreck mine..hes a f*ckhead, but im glad you got your car back and are now happy with it. glad it hasnt dampened the xr6t expierence for you!

Kimberley Scott www.australianflag.org.au Donating Members 6,763 Member For: 19y 2m 7d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 22/12/06 04:40 AM Share Posted 22/12/06 04:40 AM I cannot understand, how legally the insurance company cant pay up. It is my honest opinion, on the facts that I have, that they are trying it on to see if you fold. Now having found and forked out the 20 large, you probably, have fark all, to tkae them on. So do yourself a favour ring the ombudsman, and see your local memeber, one of then may help. You could always try a TV show. As for your mate, that's up to you, I dont know your situation.Hell of tale of woe mate, I am very sorry to hear it.Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
