These happen all to often and yes dash/reverse cameras can be used to catch offenders, but many of the offences are merely scrapes and your not going to get insurance involved with minor jobs so what to do?
Catch the culprit and then what? try finding out where they live/ get bashed up when you visit them/ police wont get involved.... whats the options.

Ok point taken, so all you would need is proof of other car hitting you (from dash camera?) and rego, throw that at your insurance?

Most shopping centre car parks have security cameras. As the management to let you view the footage.

Had a similar scenario play out about 8 years ago, had the guys rego, phone number and his business name, for SGIO this was not good enough and the insisted I paid the excess, they wanted his actual name and address, when I rang the guy he would just hang up on me and was being a d**k, so I did a Business search on ASIC, got his real name and home address ( even went for a drive to see his car parked in the driveway ), SGIO took it from there and I didn't have to pay the excess. |

thought this was heading easy street until you pipe in
![]() So if this were to happen, you get evidence from shopping centre surveillance, all you have is a rego and make/model of car. Would the police be willing to assist or can you get further info from motor rego in your state. What if its just a supermarket car park, we have 3 over here, would they have cameras or be too tight a**ed to spend the $$ a little snooping around tomorrow.

You could always try walking to and from your Supermarket = free exercise, especially from.
But if you work 7 days/12 hours or live too far away or CBF etc, how about investing in a crappy car. System has always been broken. Good men can't have nice things. |

i would be surprised if they let a "Joe Blow" walk in off the streets & ask to see vid of incident & supply it. i had an incident at work where grease was left on my cars door handle [behind & thankfully didn't catch me out]. asked work to checkout the video ....... said either a certain car drove past or a person. reply back was - nup didn't see anything. we do how ever have a very good idea who did it as i took a pic of 'a' car parked across the street from mine earlier that same day, when i was at smoko. other half recognised the car straight off [her x]. |

We ended up eating the Repair cost.. Quote was $900 her excess was $500 by the time you factor in the loss of the No-Claim Bonus. It was a bit of a Wash, which way to go.. |

Parts are always a problem, new, used, non-gen, refurbished, but majority of parts are in stock somewhere in Australia and don't take long to get by air, I personally ordered a rad support and a bonnet for a current shaped Mini through BMW a month back, there was nothing in Perth, but there was in Melbourne, 24 hours it was here no extra charge and was not badly priced for new genuine. Its not really as bad as they make it out to be, sure there is a parts shortage but it might delay 1 or 2 cars out of 70 + per week for us, some parts are months off ( EX Japan, USA, or Europe ) some are only days, I would say we have 5-10 cars waiting on parts but 2-300 have already been done and gone in the same period. What is the big killer for these luxury cars is the price of the parts and how many bits they have in the front of them, have a A3 Audi in at the moment with a light front tap there is $10,000 just in the 2 headlights, this is what writes them off. |

Was there a police report, was the damage substantial or minor, did you pay an excess at all? Not saying that this is the case for you as some insurers allow things that others dont, you may have a good insurer, most of the main insurers dont do you any favours. The reason I ask is most insurers wont move forward with a claim when they only have a rego number, it is only because you can go into a car park and blame the person parked next to you, just grab a rego and say that they hit your car, its very hard for each person to prove they did or did not. This if allowed by your insurer would make it very easy for fraudulent claims and you could blame any damage on people that didn't touch your car, you could even try your luck and grab a rego off the car in front of you on the freeway and make a claim. From being in this industry for many years, I see it every day what people try to claim for on small accidents, they try everything to get their car fixed on damage you clearly know is not part of a claim, they even try to blame us for damage while its with us ( fortunately we have a very good check in process ), the assessors know all the tricks people try, they can and will deny a claim and cancel insurance if they suspect its a fraudulent claim, its funny how many people will still try it though. |
