TwoHeadsTas Posted 24October, 2019 Report Share Posted 24October, 2019 Jeez, just saw some dashcam footage on the news of a prang in the Adelaide Hills today, Audi at the hands of a 23 yo I think, trying to overtake where he shouldn't. Looks like you've got as many dickheads over there @LeeM as we seem to have over here ...... LeeM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 24October, 2019 Report Share Posted 24October, 2019 Yeah mate, that was REALLY stupid trying to pass there. How everyone got away with no injuries is amazing Rick V 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're everywhere else mate, so why not add to their revenue 🙄 That road is 80kph, yet theres always some muppet doing 50-60 in a Camry or similar, which I dare say was the reason he had a go at passing Raven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhh Posted 27October, 2019 Report Share Posted 27October, 2019 Was he trying to pass or did he happen upon the car he clipped unexpectedly? Either way, it was a spectacular shunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No car, various charges resulting in a driving ban, and I'm sure his insurance company won't be too accommodating with his questionable driving habits nearly killing a couple of people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew F Posted 28October, 2019 Report Share Posted 28October, 2019 They're lucky the car flipped, otherwise the dude with the dashcam would have probably ended up in a pine box. Apart from the impatient nature of the Audi driver, the actual road surface is in pretty shit condition as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firstone Posted 28October, 2019 Report Share Posted 28October, 2019 He was far too commited to get back in. If he knows the road he's an idiot, if he doesn't he should do more recon, still an idiot. 😂 If i was me in the car he hit the video would have to be beeped. You'd wanna get out and kick him in the shins. 😂 LeeM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donR Posted 28October, 2019 Report Share Posted 28October, 2019 Bit of stupidity as he surely was unable to see around the bend at that distance, at least until it was too late. Perhaps there should also have been double white lights for the gumbys that don't know how to drive those sorts of roads or be patient.

Raven Posted 28October, 2019 Report Share Posted 28October, 2019 feel terrible for the person with the dash cam who got it head on ,,,,,ouch thats a big hit ,,hope the driver and any passengers were ok Yellow Audi driver needs a swift kick and then some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstone Posted 28October, 2019 Report Share Posted 28October, 2019 Lose his own car, pay for the write off victims car, plus the repairs to the clipped rear. Then any injury claims. Expensive ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I mean walking around without pain ok and not just alive in a hospital ok. 19 hours ago, firstone said: Lose his own car, pay for the write off victims car, plus the repairs to the clipped rear. Then any injury claims. Expensive ride. His insurance co might eject him as a policy holder in the future but I think they’ll have to pay, assuming he has some. I’d say the max fine here is going to be ‘due care and attention’ as already noted. I don’t see any laws being broken apart from not having enough space to pass, which is bad driving but bad driving is not grounds to deny claims (technically all at fault claims are bad driving, right?) To have a claim denied needs more than that. To have third party injury claims denied requires illegal activity like dui or unlicensed. So any injuries will be paid assuming all cars legally registered. Rob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstone Posted 29October, 2019 Report Share Posted 29October, 2019 Mmm, I'm probably wrong. I thought i saw broken white lines down hill and solid on his side. Poor video quality though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor video quality though. Broken on his side (pause at 13seconds). I wonder if the white car saw the yellow car coming and braked to give room but instead closed the gap for him to pull in. Probably would have been a coming together anyway. It’s all armchair theories, only a couple of people really know. i wonder how much they were paid for the video.
