Accident Question

[Ahrex]

Hi guys, my fren was involved in an accident with a malaysian vehicle(kancil or smt similar, very small car).. my fren knock e rear side of the vehicle and some paint drop off e bumper.. no particulars were exchanged and cos my fren agreed to go jb workshop to settle.. my fren gave the other party his num, name n ic no..

 

now hor.. the other party came to sg n repair e vehicle and asked my fren to pay close to SGD600 bucks for the repair.. my fren was stunned at first but agreed to pay when he get his pay cos he feels responsible.. but hor.. as a fren i think he shouldn't pay so much cos y did a m'sia car come sg do repair? n how come e repair so ex cos according to my fren, its juz e bottom left side of rear bumper paint peel off.. and e bumper was intact.. very minor damages which i think would not cost more den rm200 if done in jb..

 

so now should he pay or not pay or pay a portion of it? hope for some advice from mcfers.. thanks..

If the other party want to kotok ur friend, even if he do in jb also can inflate the charges.

Maybe the ws overcharge him? Maybe there's more than just paint chip. Why not see the invoice and see what was done? But hor, if ws in cahoots with the other party, nothing ur friend can do. Next time got such thing happen again, (hope not), ask the other party go to a ws your friend knows.

dun pay lah, ask the MY car to go claim insurance. knn, if MY car hit your car, u think they will pay?

[Cheesepiekia]

Don't bother to pay, ask the other party go claim insurance.

dun pay lah, ask the MY car to go claim insurance. knn, if MY car hit your car, u think they will pay?

 

I also agree not to pay.

 

Just for a peace of mind, stick a RM50 to the MY owner say.... take it or leave it.

 

Why bother to pay? If they bang your fren, I think your fren need to repair himself.

 

Fcuk care if I were you / your fren

[Skyiet27]

I would say pay but bargain to 200/300

 

Jus tell that guy market rate knock n respray ard 150/200 only

 

I believe he will take cos convert to rm quite a bit

 

Dun because of small $ later lost ur ncd

 

Jus IMO

 

Jus give him a feeling that u know the market I believe he give in unless he can show receipt

 

If I were you I would have offer a amt to him during the accident

 

Or ask him go to ur ws to repair but u pay

 

If telling him go do n claim

 

Cfm he will chop

 

Cheers

[Skyiet27]

N after he accept ur amt

 

Pls look at the dent but I doubt he let u see

 

Dent should still be there

 

Hahaha

 

Jus pay n move on

 

Dun affect ur ncd

Yr fren paid e guy already? Why did he agree to the amount in e first place?

 

Obviously the damage does nt warrant S$600 to repair, if e damage is as per description.....oh mayb driver claim cos of his small sized car, bones also kena rattled by e "impact" so now must see doctor to get sedatives to calm nerves and calcium to steady e bones....next is gd tonic strong brew called beer or stout to keep head clear etc etc....haiz

 

Personally will not pay but shd agree on the spot to settle with S$200-300 (just for e bumper + calcium + sedatives. Beer no no cos can cause accidents). Becos no settlement on e spot, guy went home, got houseful or streetful of "consultants" who will teach him valueless things like "how to carrot a Singaporean".....

 

If paid liao, take as hard lesson....if not, either pay e guy half or tell him go with you to a workshop here and tell him u will repair it again....ya, bumper done up by him liao but you must honour your words to repair it at your designated workshop mah....and do it again....see whether he will take e money and call yr fren mad.

 

Just my tots.....

 

Safe ride

 

 

Cheers

the last i hit some old malaysia car from the back, that time his bumper left side drop abit + his rear lights broken, i paid him rm300 and he took it immediately.. i think i overpaid lol.. probably quite cheap to fix in malaysia

[Darkseed73]

The problem is your friend AGREE TO PAY when ppl ask for $600.

 

Your friend doesn't sound rich becos must wait for his pay.......why he goes agree? He scare?

 

Your friend obviously chicken scare of trouble that's why the Msian car bully your friend lar.

 

Nothing as a friend u can do actually.

[Tripleh]

$600 to kiss someone car from behind is considered cheap already. settle it and move on lah.....

[StefanK]

Pay this S$600.00 and write a note to ask that guy to sign, write down his particulars in case later on he make claims on your friend's insurance as well.

If your friend don't pay, later the insurance company write a letter to tell your friend they just pay 10s of thousands of dollars to his claims.

 

Next time don't agree to pay any amount right away. Instead offer to repair or assess damage at a known/friendly workshop first.

 

Lastly, always force exchange of particulars with notes to state no injuries and agreements. Accidents can happen, but don't become a carrot.

thanks all for input.. i asked my fren about it.. he got a few doubts also..

 

1)y did a m'sian car come sg do repairs?

2)will there be any repurcussions if my fren dun pay? there were no pics taken, no exchange of particulars.. my fren juz gave the other party his name, ic no and hp no.. he said he dun think the other party even know his car plate no.. haha..

Your friend should take the public transport for a while before he resumes driving with the accidents he got himself into. 休息是为了走更长远的路.

If can claim against other people, I don't care where I do, if I can I will bring to Garage R to do! That's if the other party si bei guai lan lah.

 

As for repercussions, your friend everyday will worry he kena claimed big sums by this fella, cannot sleep cannot eat, cannot stand. The 'victim' don't really need to take pictures, he can knock a few more times then one time claim from your friend also can, because this guy has your friend's particulars. Especially IC number.

 

Like what the other bros suggested, negotiate with the guy, don't high hand or tough ball the guy into giving in. I'm sure S$200 converted into RM can be a tantalising sum for the other guy as well, so just try your luck.

Last month a taxi uncle hit my rear bumper and just a small dent. At first I thought is going to be a $300-400 repair job but after running around a few workshops with him. We were unable to get any quote >$1000. In the end he ask me to report and claim from his insurance. Car got fixed 3 days later by my insurance authorize workshop. Total repair cost $3,500.00 excluding lost of usage. Any minor repair could run into thousand here. Even I am surprise

Come sg do repair, get new parts and car won't go missing

 

2)will there be any repurcussions if my fren dun pay? there were no pics taken, no exchange of particulars.. my fren juz gave the other party his name, ic no and hp no.. he said he dun think the other party even know his car plate no.. haha..

 

Give name, ic no still not consider exchange particulars?

 

3)my fren also feel like not paying cos he juz got into another accident last month, he bang another car rear skirting broke, a bit dent.. he do up everything only $670.. he private settle with e guy.. so hor.. he feels like he kena carrot liao.. so dun feel like paying e full amt.. he is ok if its paying juz 150-200 though..

 

Just pay $150 to $200 will do.

 

My friend while driving me to my car workshop got into an accident with a malaysia car last year in Singapore.

 

Slight scratches to the rear bumper of that malaysian car. The malaysian driver ask for $400.

 

I told my friend to give him $50 and told the malaysian driver to accept it.

 

I also told the malaysian driver that if a singapore car got banged in malaysia,

normally the malaysian drivers either pay only $50 ringgit or don't pay at all.

 

He lan lan accept the $50 from my friend.
