wrote my car today :cry: . Was coming down richardson road, and an indian couple were waiting to turn right, it was raining quite heavily. I hit the brakes because for some reason i didnt see them and there was a huggeeee slick of oil on the road. I locked up and went smack into the back of them

It was sooooooo gutting. They tried to tell me that because they were full liscensed driver that they could judge a cars speed by lookin in the rear vision mirror. While my car was getting towed and asian dude locked up azwell. BLOODY OIL :D .

So i have to pay 1 grand for the damage and buy myself a new car :?

:?: :?: He has insurance? just 3rd party cover which is enough to cover the other party. Full cover insurance is a waste of money on anything worth under $2k.
LOUD NOISES!!!

If you have 3rd party insurance why do you need to pay for damages if you are buying yourself another car? :?

So did anybody let the cops know bout the oil on the road so it could be cleaned up?
Would hate to be anyone that drove through it a t what ever speed as you would slip and it would be all over your tyres :?

Sorry to hear bout your car mate.

Full insurance not so bad i pay just under $20 a week and my excess is like just over $700 and i'm under 25 infact i only turned 20 yesterday
