Sadly, insurance isnt compulsory in Australia.....so not an issue for the old bill.

Really?? That surprised me, I thought Aussie law on the road was quite tough compared to the UK, have they arranged to pay for the damages or anything? Surely they can't just smash up your car and get away with it?

Sorry to see what has happened to your new motor, but I'm also intrigued as to what can happen now. Can you privately sue them for damages?

[sutty451]

Rules in Oz (certainly in WA anyway) - 'rego' (equivalent to VED) is payable on your veh. Included in your rego is compulsory third party injury only insurance. Plenty of cars knocking about without rego sadly. Decent people, ie, you and I also pay for fully comp insurance to protect your own vehicle and any third party damage you may cause.

The scrotes that hit my car had no insurance (and may even have had no rego). I have the details of the offending veh and took a photo of driver and drivers licence, passed them to my insurers...and basically leave it with them to chase. They end up pursuing offending uninsured drivers through the courts and hope they get something back. In the meantime, I'm in limbo, have to pay my full excess out and am out of pocket, and my motor ends up as a damaged/repaired. Its a great system...........

Not nice to see  :( I hope you get it sorted soon.

Sorry about the nice new car. 

 

You should have reported it to the police, our traffic unit will investigated it. Since you are claiming on your insurance I would advise you to do so.

I see cases like yours daily. You can go online www.police.wa.gov.au or into your local police station.
