| 1206844 | 2011-06-29 02:52:00 | That doesn't mean to say that he can't come back at any stage. For the record: - You'd never lose your license for that kind of thing. At worst, if a policeman pulled you over, you'd be fined $400 for breaching your license endorsements, or something to that effect. - It's also easy to convince a semi-shady panelbeater to "overquote" if they'll get an extra slice of the pie. Very easy. Take the images yourself, or arrange to have a nearby panelbeater that *you* have seen go to the vehicle and quote on it. If they're hesitant, offer them a box of beer for their troubles if it's just down the road. Many will oblige. It's also quite possible that he's gone to somebody and said "How much to get this all fixed" without explaining that they're from two independent incidents, or that you're only realistically liable for the damage to the front-half of his vehicle. - You're well within your rights to obtain multiple quotes, or have the victim do-so. Disregard what the panelbeater said about "Others will be of similar cost", that's irrelevant, do it anyway. - The rear damage is *clearly* from another incident, and as Arnie says appears to have been poorly beaten out from the inside. Ignore any comments from him with respect to the rear. - Any insurance you might have had (We know you had none) is well and truly void as soon as you do anything outside of your license conditions, such as driving without a mentor. Hopefully you've already got insurance since, to cover you for any future accidents. - You're not required to give him any money and "call it even". For something like that I'd suggest you go the honourable route and get it repaired. You *know* you're both getting a "fair" deal that way, and there can be no later recourse from the matter. In fact if you give him the cheque, there's every possibility he make just bank it and carry on demanding more. I personally wouldn't go down that route. - Yes, report it as harassment. Regardless of the situation, you're still covered under the law and shouldn't fear for your safety. - If you were to speak with him, you should advise him you find his behaviour harassing and that you will not tolerate it. Advise him you want to get the quotes yourself, and that you will be in contact with him by a specific date about getting the repairs. - Tracking people down isn't difficult. If he has your name, that can be enough in a lot of cases. It's *piss easy* to do a little social engineering and call your insurance company, pretending to be you and say "I'd just like to confirm which address you have for me, as I moved a few months ago and I'm not sure you updated it". Your insurance company would then say "Oh we have you still at 123 Nowhere Street, is that correct?" and he'll say "Oh yes, thankyou goodbye". Not rocket science. While you *may* be able to get away with doing nothing, if you DO hear from him, take the moral high road and resolve it. If you would prefer not to deal with this person directly, get somebody to act as legal representation on your behalf and have this joker deal with them (For example a parent / uncle / somebody else you trust to keep their cool on the phone). Above all, don't be pressured into anything, never sign anything, and never admit fault (Too late for that, but at least for in future reference). It's quite easy to go through this whole process and never sign a single document, so again, don't feel pressured into doing it. You'll only regret it later. |
