Commodore CLOWN!

[AC]

I need to vent. :

Im pretty much used to all the stupid stuff people do around me and ususally avoid d/heads as much as i can... But this morning i had no where to go and was caught up in an unavoidable accident.

Its a wet morning, not raining, just the wet after the rain. Dry in patches.
So you think people would drive sensibly.
But no, the wet brings out the d/heads.

So this morning im waiting at a major set of lights waiting to turn right(two lanes turning right) waiting on my lonesome and a commy wagon(VR/S) pulls up along my left side, I think nothing of it. Light finally goes green and i move off. I start to straighten up and ive got a little speed up as it is a large intersection and i hear the commy wheel spinning beside me, he/she fish tails and falls back and then hits me. The hit in the back passenger rear quarter turns me around Ingall and Skaife style and i go almost backwards into some poor bastards landscaped front yard...
The Commy ****es off and im left to try and get my self out to no avail.
I managed to get a wooden star picket i collected in the process and wedged it under one of my wheels and rock back and forward and got myself out.

The only damage i can see at the moment is one of my rims is badly buckled from where i hit the gutter sliding backwards, im pretty lucky the tyre didnt pinch and blow out on me.
I'll have to get to a workshop and have the underside checked too to see whats hidden.

Was also pretty lucky the hit was in the same part i got hit on in the carpark the other week. That was caused by a Landcruiser i think. That person POQ'd too.

NOT happy JAN.... :

Being a major set of lights (Like you say) go talk to the police and they'll go to whoever monitors the road network for that particular area and footage may have been taken of the accident.

I hope you get the bugger, I absolutely hate people who take off and don't face the consequences of their actions.

There is a camera at those lights.
I do have a mate who is a cop in my area, might see if he can pulls some strings.
I know the RTA monitor the cameras, now to hope it was pointed the right way.

On the upside, I cant see where i got pushed.
Its hidden by the last person from the other week...

Downside, looks like my back driverside shock is bent and my tranny has sprung a leak.
Funny thing is, I've ony just had that(tranny leak) fixed not too long ago... :yeees:
And my exhaust system seems to sit lower on one side more than the other now, probly broke an engine mount would be my guess.

[LTDHO]

The lowest act is that they left and didn't stop.

People have no responsibility any more and just don't care.

[merlin]

Can't beleive they didn't stop, what a scumbag - make sure you report it to the police, they will follow it up.

[Quasi]

That friggin' bites.....

.....All that horsepower falling out of the sky always brings out the F'wits. The sad part is that the bloody moron probably laughed about it and then ran off to meet his pencil dick mates to brag, because you were in a Ford (he'll probably tell it like he beat you in a race off the lights and the inbreds he's telling will carry on as if he is some horsepower hero).

[Ringo]

Unbelievable......the chicken sh-ts ran rather than face up to what they had done.

Commywhores do brilliant fish tails....sloppy suspension and excessive body roll will do that.......

[GXL078]

Commodore CLOWN - notice how well it rolls off the tongue!
If the guy goes the same was to and from work everyday at the same time, maybe you will see him again. You could put an ad in the paper calling for witnesses. The cops won't care, he has probably already lost his license anyway. What can you do?

[ThoR_]

If you remember the car wait untill you see it again and chase it down thats what ive done before. I be stupid in the wet but i make sure no body is around and theres nothing mayjor i can hit if i manage to loose it

I wonder what he did to over ride the stability control?
I thought acid rush was a gold BA colour. That looks more like TOXIC to me.

[Hunter]

I always wondered what would happen if someone did that at the lights... unfortunately for your sake I now know. What a complete arseclown. We can only hope that he put that Dunnydore around a pole (where it belongs).

I hope you don't get charged and I hope your insurer doesn't hold you responsible for the actions of that tosspot.

[DOC]

I know where id put the star picket, splinters and all if you found them.

[ThoR_]

i think your a duffa for not going to the Police? (slaps himself)

[Scott]

So what did the guy who owns the torn up front yard think?

I got one of the guys from work to go up to the intersection.
The traffic camera was pointing in neither the direction we came from or was going.
The police say that they need more to go on and that i should be glad there isnt more damage, which i am.
So they have logged it for future reference.
At the moment all i know is that it was a white VR/S Wagon.

Im not claiming on it, not enough to warrant the excess and then the hike in next years premium.

He wasnt happy at all. Although he recognises it wasnt my fault.
He only just landscaped the front on the weekend, new plants and woodchip.
And being that my car was buried up to the axel, I dug trenches... :
I helpt him out and cleaned it up a bit with him.

[XR6_661]

That sucks. Go to the police and request a release of CCTV. They'll help you out. Makes you wonder why the guy didn't stop, *******!

I wouldn't count on it. I'm sure the police would be happy to help or even get their hands on some footage themselves, but in a lot of cases, it's not even recorded. At least in Brisbane its not. I had a car stolen from the side of the Pacific Motorway in a built up area The spot from which the car was stolen has a camera pointed directly at it and when I called the department who monitors the cameras, I was politely told its cheaper not to record the cameras, they are there for monitoring traffic when they are required. The number that are recorded was something like 5 or 6 between Brisbane CBD and the Gold Coast and the recordings are kept for 2 weeks. Thats it. Appauling.

It sucks that we live in a world where shitheads like 2ndOwner's commodore driver and my car theif can do what they do and not live up to the consequences.

[jarridtheruler]

Its a shame that people like this are allowed to live in our society, and breathe our air!

[samftr]

what you talkin bout willis, that will buff out mate.
like brocky said about his vr in the across australia race: Its just minor superficial damage...

\i ono, but it went rolly polly and brokeded it bad.

[Bill_R]

Makes a point for having cameras in cars so they can be called on if needed.
More than likely, if you were going to work then he was too and you might come across him again. I bet your eyes will be scanning for that car from now on in.

[Yaw]

Did this happen on the way to work?

Reason i ask if this other person was also on the way to work around the same general time, chances are they use that road daily/regularly at the same time each day.
Might be worth your while to go early tommorow and wait to see if he/she shows up, then get thier rego number. How would they know how you got it?
You could have seen it as they drove away after the accident, and hey presto you can give the rego number to your insurer of the third party responsible. that way you should not have to pay an excess.

[AC]

It happened on the way home from work.
Work has made me fill out a work cover form to document it.

I havnt seen the car before as far as im aware.
I do see alot of cars that are familiar, even on person from this forum infact.

I'll keep my eyes peeled and see if i can see the car next time.
Unfortunatly i cant go around taking the plates of every white VR/S wagon i see.

I'd quickly have a long list :rolleyes:

On the bright side.
Looks like ive only got one 12slot rim to replace and a slight ding to push out.
I've still got to have a better look at my engine mounts though.
All else looked OK when i had it up on the hoist today

Silly boy,
The only plates you need to take are white VR/S commodore wagons with a dent in the same place as the one that hit your car.
That should at least halve the list
