So today at lunch time I was heading back to work on william nicol. I pulled up at the traffic light at the intersection of william nicol and republic (in direction towards hyde park). I pulled up next to a white Audi A4 1.8t looked like an 09 model. When the robot changed I accelerated moderatly, he floored it to the extent that his tires squeeked, he then tried to overtake me but the gap between him and the car infront of him was too small and he underestimated my acceleration so just as he swiped me and turned away.

I didn't notice that he had swiped me as I felt nothing but my passenger said omw look. Then i waved him trying to tell him to pull over, he then swerved away and kind of told me off. I then checked if it was clear and swerved accross all lanes and chasing him. He took a slip road and then I floored it and cut him off.

I waited a bit before getting out of my car because my blood was boiling and didn't want a confrontation. I got out and checked my car which was fine, then I approached him and asked him what that was. He said "I dont know, you damaged my car behind the front wheel so its your fault." I didn't say anything, just got his details and left. My passenger and I were just WTF.

Anyway here are the pics, I've just gotten back from the police station after opening a report. I wont claim from my insurance, its way too minor but I will phone them tomorrow to let them know.

Anything else I need to do, or should do ?

here are some pics...

His car is quite scratched, mine is fine besides two little scratches and the meguairs tire polish from my tires on his door will be reapplied this weekend ;)

Hate it when these things happen.

The marks on the bumper will actually polish out, then just grab some touchup paint from a local dent magic branch. :thumbs:

Maybe go back to where it happened and take some pics of how the road looks, and where he tried to push you aside. Give that to the insurance to put on your file for in case he desides to claim against you.

My dad had a accident with a taxi on 28 December and phoned me to go assist at the scene as the ambulance were taking him to hospital and he was scared for his stuff that might be stolen and now that taxi driver is trying to turn it around, by saying I drove into him with my car and I have to pay for his damage.

His car door looks a bit stuffed.

Glad all is ok your side. What a complete moron that guy was.

Sorry for your damage.

Sorry to hear but glad no injuries and not too much damage!

From what you said, I gather that the collision occurred while he changed lanes to "under-take" you (ie, on your left side which by itself is illegal)? Your passenger is then also your witness - plus the fact that he wasn't willing to stop when you tried to flag him down, he's guilty as sin!

Yep, not really worth claiming, and besides, his stupid 'VW' looks like it came off worse!

What a freaking toss face. My blood would be evaporating by that time. The fact that he tries to turn it on you is what really pisses me off!
