funny considering im not a lawyer and they were represented by lawyers.
The last girl even brought in all the evidence for me! she photographed the area and submitted the photos to support her arguement they ended up support my arguement and the Judge agreed. she paid for it all sh'e just lucky i didn't get my personal costs in it. (she took me to court not the cops so it was a civil hearing)

Also did you know that in a carpark if both cars are moving and they have a collision then they pay for there own damage - i might get a heap of **** and head for south yarra for some laughs.

I'm going to close this thread now. Some of the logic is giving me a mental brain lock.

For those not insured out there... good luck. As for me, I'm covered. So if I punt a Rolls Royce into an electricity sub station... I'm covered. If you are confident you can cover the worst possible situation without insurance then I guess its all cool then.

As for owing $40K on a smashed up car rather than $300K on a house... try selling the smashed up car for a profit, not going to happen.
