Car accident - who's fault is it?

Face facts Chab, you can rant on here for ever more, it will not change anything, it seems that you were in the wrong from everything you have said, so just live with it and move on.

Learn from your experience.

i don't think we started reading this thread intending to rip your story apart, but you are making it quite easy - and an insurance company is going to be just as harsh, if not more so.

Get your parents or someone at work to write your report, dont rush it, then show it to some on for proof reading

no he was doing 25 as he hit me, before, he was definetely speeding. he could not have got round that crown any faster. i slowed him down. he has no damage and i have a big dent. that dent slowed him doen to bout 25.

you said earlier in your post that he was going 25 to 30, now he is speeding.
also, you said that you collided into the sides of each other, now he has hit you.

if you hit each other in the side then surely you are both at fault - how would you turn and hit the side of his vehicle without seeing it?
He'd have to have been doing a lot more than 30 (which i doubt on the inconsistencies so far) to sneak up on you like that.

and can you confirm which side of the road he was on - was it the other carriageway or half and half?

he was on the other side of the road. and yes he was speeding. i slowed him down to 25-30.

not possible for a 350z to hit something at 25mph and have no damage

was he doing 25 as he hit you or the impact of hitting a slow moving vehicle slowed him to 25? what you've said is contradictory.

as Tinkerbell84 has said before, if its not a 20mph road then he's not speeding.

physics would dictate that he moved your car down the road and into the bend then

You have no way of verifying his speed, so stick to the facts or your insurers are going to have great fun with any claim you make.


You seem to be ignoring the advice that you seek, and just digging yourself in to a deeper hole, time to move on?
