It happened on the 25th March at 5:30pm.

We were on the Anzac Bridge, Pyrmont East bound.

4 car pile up. Chick up front stopped suddenly, she paniced when a car in front of her slowed down slightly for traffic. Car behind her impacted her in the rear. I was behind him but was able to brake hard enough and was just about coming to a stop when the guy behind me hit me in the rear and pushed me into the guy in front.

We blocked the far left lane for almost an hour (pyrmont turn off, we were mentioned by Jason Morrison - 2GB) before the towies came and took us all down to the fish markets to sort the mess out with the cops.

The car is yet to be assessed but it will be a write off for sure.

It is a major inconvenience to life!!

Ouch, that really sucks to have your pride and joy get written off.

Legally speaking, was it all the chick's fault for braking dangerously, or was it the 2nd and 4th drivers for rear ending (I.e. not leaving a safe gap) ?

that's got to suck, I know the pain! I hopefully get my car back this week after a lady pulled out in front of me, $15K damage.

I very much doubt that will be a writeoff, it looks failry minor and low speed.

Unless the airbags deployed, I bet they fix it.

It still sucks to have your car violated in both ends

Farkin ouch

fakin ouch mate!

let us know how ya go!

Damn that sucks mate.

Bit OT but what rims are they?

Problem is, when the damage in $$$ outways the cars value, in this BOTH front and rear - is a real possibility.

Legally speaking you must at all times keep a safe distance between you and the car infront so if they suddenly stop you have sufficient distance to stop.

If you ever run into the back of someone the police CAN book you for travelling too close to the car infront but they are generlly nice and dont bother.

Hey guys, thanks for the sympathy....

Well being an insurance broker myself, I can say that at least 70% of the liability will be carried by the car at the end of the pack. He hit me in the rear and pushed me into the car in front.

Therefore the car in front of me will seek recovery for his rear end from my insurer who will then in turn transfer the recovery to the guy behind.

Guy in front of me will carry liability for the car he rear ended and his own front end damage only.

Guy at the back will carry his damage, my whole car and rear end of the vehicle in front of me.

Spanner in the works - I am the only one out of the whole pack with comprehensive insurance. Makes my rental car recovery situation look bleak.

I am still yet to have the car assessed but I can confirm that the car was bent upwards in half. There are two kinks on top of the cabin turret that proves this. Chassis is fcked!!

Great way to start a weekend.

Anyone looking at selling their T at the moment?? im a ripe buyer!!
