Title: i was involved in a car accident today
Post by: jaysings on July 29, 2013, 02:27:39 AM
i don't know why i would crash into a bmw roadster today. i kept the speed under 60km along the road, but i crashed into the back of the bwm car right after i glimpsed at the sight on my right side



unfortunately, when i noticed my car was getting closed to the back of the bmw, i stepped all the way down on the brake. however, the tragedy happened all at once.



now my brain is blank and feel helpless at this moment. i have no idea how much this accident costs me.



hope the cost will come out to be cheaper than i expected

Your insurance will cover the repairs to the BMW, but the main thing is that you are not injured.

I believe Seoulbro meant your safety is more important than anything, a machine can always be repaired, but money can never buy health.

Yep, ditto that Zetsu. Losing your car is just an inconvenience.

I still feel bad for Jaysings though.

Yes, it's a pain but you are ok. The cars can repaired or replaced.

I don't know how ICBC works, but if you are liable your insurance will pay for the damages to her vehicle. In Alberta many insurers would drop you as a client, but I am sure that won't happen in BC though.

Jaysings, I asked my husband and he told me body damage to a car is very expensive to fix..



He also told me that the title of your car could change to "rebuilt" which makes selling your car someday a lot harder to do.

So they are just gonna have it fixed or the insurance company buys it.



Usually it is very expensive to fix it. The chassis gets twisted, paint-job, work-hours, new parts etc.



In here the insurance-companies will most likely buy the car because it is cheaper that way. The guy whom was wrong loses his bonuses which causes his payments to rise.

I believe that is the most common outcome here too Odie.

she said her permit was held by her brother who came back to china before the accident happend



now the icbc staff advised her to fax her permit to the icbc department tomorrow

she agreed to let me fix her car by my saving. i think the processes in all provinces in canada are similar

Yea.



It is illegal to drive without a permit on you. Cops might be lenient and check the computer but then they might just be too lazy to do it.

i don't expect to sell my car someday because my car is very old



when this car can't perform well, i will change a new car instead

this is her car. i estimated the price of repairing this car. it needs approximately 1300 dollars for the repair fee.

You have provincial insurance, right? If so you will only pay the deductible.

there are different types of provincial insurance. i only picked the third-person liabilty insurance, so my insurance won't cover up the cost to the damage on my car.

Whether the other party had their driving permit on them is irrelevant. Jaysings was at fault.

But it will cause the party without a license to get a fine... And it would cause an argument whether she should have been up there in the first place...

right, that's what i thought. if she didn't have driving permit, she wasn't allowed to drive on the road. if she wasn't on the road, this accident wouldn't happen.

You should have all the compensations... You own her nothing.



Driving without a license... Shaking my head!

Do not pay her anything! She is an illegal driver. A criminal!

she explained her driving permit hadn't been with her by now. she didn't mean she had driven on the road without a valid driving permit. so i cannot be sure if she really doesn't have the licence.



if the truth comes out to be what i expected, i must convince her to take her own shit.



but i can't escape from my fault anyway

because i didn't expect i would get an accident like this. i shouldn't have ignored the brake problem in my car. the warning signal lit up from time to time, but i didn't wanna spend money for repairing it.



i deserve this damage. live and learn and never make it happen again

Nothing wrong with making a mistake as long as you learn from it. At least you don't whine like a pathetic little crybaby and blame "big insurance" or any other entity for your own mistakes.

nothing helpful with whine like pathetic little crybaby ,but whine only makes me feel worse.



i always encourage myself that the darkest cloud has a silver lining. if we are unaware of the bitterness in our lives, we won't value the sweetness



this accident is likely the chance to keep me out of serious accidents in the future,which may cause me to be disable or dead
