Leaving Skid Marks
I was heading up to Southport from Tweed Heads area for Uni like a day ago and got rear ended by behind, domino effect while i was at a dead stop which was pretty freaky.
The highway up near Nerang gets pretty congested and drivers tend to stick up each others bum all the time, it makes driving up there all the time pretty nerve wracking. The traffic was bad and i'd just braked down to a stop behind another car, leaving a bit of space between us like i always do in peak hour traffic. Next thing I know I hear a tyre screech and i feel my car get collected from the drivers rear corner, pushing me out of the lane as a car flies up my right(I was in right lane).
I got out after pulling over more and the driver of the Hiace van that hit me from behind says "The guy behind me (in a Range Rover) hit me when i was stopped, pushed me into you." The car that flew past me got collected by either the Van or the Range Rover that hit it, at the start of the crash when it all started...i'm not sure. I was glad I left a space because i didn't hit anyone in front of me, even though the other car flew past my side somehow.
So the youngish guy in the Rover got out, looking pretty sheepish and we all exchanged details, no need to ask him any questions about how, it was obvious he was travelling too close to the van. The poor girl who was in the car now in front of me was crying, she had 2 kids in the car and was heavily pregnant but was OK. I was so glad i didn't hit her car in the melee.
Anyways, the Leggys rear drivers side of the bumper is totally caved in, the lights broken and all the metal up the side near the fuel flap is pretty crumpled up as well where the Van scraped up the side of my car a bit after he hit the bumper. Going to get some quotes on Monday for the driver who caused it all, lucky he has insurance cause it's gunna be pretty expensive to fix the 4 cars he smashed up. I just want my car back to normal, the damage is not very pretty. I'll post pics up in the morning.
