yeah i feel a little sorry for him... but there is a lesson to be taught, this is why u should be particulary cautious in the wet... especially when busses and trucks are about... the oil and the water = no traction for you buddy....
lesson number 2 is u should insure your bloody car incase it was a honest accident.
now that poor dude is up for mega dollars. unsure.gif

Damn, that sucks. Should have been paying attention to the road! I hope the cops don't fine you for "Driving without due care and attention". My brother was threatened with fines when he had a head-tail, but never got any. When I had a minor head-tail (no police attendance, but there was an investigation due a personal injury claim [no apparent injury at scene]), I copped a $30 slap on the wrist for following too close.

You should really give the guy a break guys, he almost lost his car- something that I wouldn't wish upon anyone. Unless you live in the area, you wouldn't know the condition of that stretch of road, it's always terrible in wet weather. It could have happend to anyone.

You can't expect your brakes to be able to take on the normal speed of a car in poor conditions. It just doesn't work like that. Lets just say if your trying to say that because you looked away for two seconds that you "lost control" of your car, that isn't really a valid reson.

Suggestions for you are a defensive driving program so you know how to "control" a car even in poor conditions.

if a road is 60kms signed and its pissing down rain try 45-50kms.

its all general knowledge mate.

hi all...i just wanted to say that i agree you are very lucky to get out of that not hurt and sorry dude about the car...but driving any performance car you need to know your car and work to the weather conditions.... Any way thats my 2c worth...Good luck with getting the car back it was nearly as good as mine hehehehe tongue.gif

I love how all these people are coming on here are giving him a lecture about his driving; because obviously they were all there and witnessed the accident.

From the photo's you can't even see the stretch of road but immediately everyone says that he was driving too fast for the conditions blah blah blah.

Do you people think that by saying these things on the forums gains you some kind of respect? Or that people will think that you are mature for saying them? I take these general comments with a grain of salt and I am guessing that most of those with the negative and derogatory remarks are jealous of his car???

It's so easy for this to happen, we don't know just how bad the conditions were, because we weren’t there but still some people feel the need to pass judgement. This morning on the way back from Queensland raceway I witnessed a Pulsar rear end a Jackaroo. There was really not much that could have been done no matter who was driving. Neither driver was really at fault it was just an accident.

This is a terrible situation to be in, all the best mate. It sounds like you are going to get out of it alright though.

No Insurance....... Jesus Christ you people on here amuse me....

I'd love to see a poll on the forum with all members voting as to who has comprehensive Insurance on their vehicles. With the amount of modifications done to a large percentage of car on here, coupled with the age of the owners and whether the vehicle is owned by them, (in most cases the bank owns them) the price on full comprehensive insurance would be in the thousands.

I'd think the percentage of FCI would be very very low, like around a 1/4 if that.

Sorry to see the damage but for F*&^s sake if you can't afford to insure the car you cannot afford the car - end of story.

This reminds me of my student driver training at Roadcraft years ago. One of the instructors said that he dosen't like to call them accidents, he'd rather call them crashes because nearly all crashes can be prevented. However in reality not many drivers have proper training so don't know how to prevent these crashes.

I must say, it doesn't look AS bad now that it's out from behind that bus. I noticed the doors hadn't moved on the day too, still looks mint from the front guards back!

Glad too hear no one was hurt and sorry about the car!!! also glad too hear/see that itz gonna be fixed...

but on the same token, you will find that the chassis might be twisted/bent, and if so your car will never be the same again! at high speeds (e.g. going along highway at 110kph) the car might viabrate or rattle. for your sake i hope that itz not twisted or bent!
