    Car crash legal stuff??????

    Last june i was caught up in a 'accident' and basically the other party failed to give way and i collected the rear end of his car, the police took statements from both parties, and he signed the police notes saying he was at fault.

    This would of been ok if i had of had insurance, but i hadn't even had a chance to change the ownership papers, as i had only brought the car a few days earlier, the other party didn't have insurance or a rego or a wof.

    so in november he was summoned to court for failing to give way, and he pleaded not guilty wtf?

    so today, 6 months later i had to goto court for the defense hearing, i was the police witness, and after 3 hours of irrelevant arguments mostly created by the boys mother and the entire 'whanau' the two jps came to a decision, he was found guilty for failing to give way causing a accident, and made to pay $350 dollars to the government, and court costs, but they decided to just not bother trying to get any reparation what so ever for me.

    so im 5k out of pocket not including the towage at the time and i cant help but feel the jps decision not to make the boy pay for what he did was because of a series of letters from 'friends' of the family saying just how much of a nice boy he is, and that he doesn't have a job ( he is 18 and no longer at school, but doesn't want a job..) and that the family just has no money. im sure if i was in the situation were i crashed into them, then i would be made to pay, and i dont think it would take 6 months before they came knocking on my door.

    i just cant help but feel the justice system in this country but mostly court cases run by jps who arent really anyone special is just a fat ****n waste of time ? and that if your poor or dont want a job then you get away with anything to do with money

    any advice with the small claims court would be appreciated , as thats my only option left

    Sorry to hear...but, you mentioned whanau, so, i'm guessin you won't see a cent...

    I like the defence that he doesn't have a job and has no money, must use that when i crash into someone's beema...oh no, hang on, i'm white, i'm accountable...

    Strut Braces for My Wagon

    I found the biggest difference with a 'Trunk Bar' from Cusco.

    Even though the Spec c had a front tower brace (cusco) rear tower brace (carbing) and coilovers (buddyclub), the trunk bar made a huge difference to the rear...

    They go at the rear of the trunk, ends bolt to chassis rails (kinda) and two points bolt to bulkhead while centre bolts to where the boot latch is attached.

    Approx $350 new, much better return for $$$ than a strut brace...

    The best thing for you to do, and I think everyone on here will agree, is to get rid of that catalytic converter. Those things feed on power.
