Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 1m 19d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 18/01/13 02:45 PM Share Posted 18/01/13 02:45 PM Getting rear ended is not at fault claim.. The matter may require reporting to police though as they will need to determine whether to charge your mate and if repairs are over a certain amount of dollars it needs a crash number assigned.The whole not slowing/dodging a wild animal isn't law, its recommendation by insurers because there are lots of cases of people dodging a kangaroo, leaving the road and hitting a tree.. Which is alot more expensive for the insurer than just hitting a roo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frontbar stuns em, cross member sorts em out.I know they are protected in Au, but here they are a pest causing millions of bucks of damage eating up our native forests. We trap them , shoot them, then skin em for the fur and make possum fur toys to sell to the tourists!Bummer about your car mate, hopefully the car and the friendship can be repaired without too much hassel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't need cops because no one is injured. Just get his reg, lic no and address and give it to your insurer to open a claim. They will chase him.

That is just me though, obviously your prerogative. Ant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it might be cheaper to check repair costs as there could be a big difference between panel beater quotes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
