I just didn't want to be a news story!!

WindsorXR · 07-05-2008, 12:44 PM

Hi guys, Hope this is in the right area.
I'll start with a pic of my car before the accident

Looks good!
The story- My girlfriend and I were driving home from my Dads place through Mordialloc in Victoria. We came to some traffic lights with a Territory to my right and a BA Falcon XT behind me full of 3 Male and 1 female Maori's. After the lights was a two lane to one lane merge.
I took of a bit slow from the lights,but still in front of the Territory, The falcon was trying to get in between me and the Terry before it turned to one lane. Because i took off slow it was making it hard for the Falcon. He they eventually done it and then Tail gated about a metre off my . So then I tapped my brakes to get them to back off.
They then Overtook over double lines, the passenger then threw a full bottle of coke at my window. They got in front of us and then Slammed on their brakes and i nearly hit the back of them as I screeched to a stop.
Then all of the doors opened up. The passenger (a buff Maori i think who seemed like he was on Roids) Threw a Fanta bottle at the windscreen which burst.Then ran up and started Punching My Girlfriends window as hard as he could.
Meanwhile I had tried to grab reverse and got fifth(Im used to the 6spd's out at the Ford Proving Grounds). I rolled into their cars then got Reverse and stomped on the Throttle.Massive axle tramp and then bang. We hit the Terry behind us. My girlfriend and I were yelling our heads off to just go away and leave us alone.
A guy behind the Terry said to the Maori at my door (Who was massive) the he has called the cops for assault and they are just around the corner.The maoris then yelled at him so then he buggered off(Don't blame him!). The Maoris then got some details and drove off.

Never been so scared in my life.I thank the person that called the cops, don't know what they would have done if he didn't.Terry came off OK.A kid in the front seat was having an asthma attack, but he's ok now.
The Maori's called 000 as soon as they left and told police i was driving Eratically. Nothing is going to be done to the Maori's, maybe a $400 fine for littering and crossing double lines. We are all OK now except for my Baby XR6 which will mostlikely be a write-off.

I wouldn't wish this on anyone except the people that do this. We are now just hoping that Kama is true and that all of my insurance works out.

Any comments welcome.

PS- On the up side I may be getting a new car soon.

It doesn't look too bad. Maybe it's salvageable. That might be wishful thinking though...

I hope those morons get what they deserve. Good luck with it

WindsorXR · 07-05-2008, 01:11 PM

Thanks JMO!

Falcon_Phill · 07-05-2008, 01:14 PM

You didnt happen to get out and shoot the car 4 times did you?

Buddy 1 · 07-05-2008, 01:15 PM

Crikey you had them where you wanted them, should have just stepped out of your Car & Beat the crap out of them

I am Sooo Kidding, however they would have made nice Targets on ya front Bumper.

Glad to hear you are Both ok & would not have been a nice thing to go through.

By the way I most likely would have done the same things as you did at the start of it all, not sure how I would have Finished it (Maybe with a Few Flattened Maori's under my Car lol).

xe351 · 07-05-2008, 01:50 PM

mate thats terrible, don't know what to say, cept i loathe gene pools like this. Hope it all works out for you

also maori's have to be one of the worst driving groups out there - i have not ever seen one of their cars without damage of some sort

Wally · 07-05-2008, 01:53 PM

How does immigration feel about it's guests committing acts of violence?

InfernoSR · 07-05-2008, 02:01 PM

Hope someone got some details for you... and i think most of that will buff out

4Vman · 07-05-2008, 02:12 PM

Ouch... Looks like its off to the car gods for that one...

jaydee · 07-05-2008, 02:32 PM

This day and age it just doesn't pay to pith anyone off, there are so many nutters out there.
Imagine if it had been a stolen car, they would have just rammed you off the road.

I used to flash my brake lights at tail gaters but now I just turn my mirror down so they see that I'm not watching them so they can get as close as they want.

Shame about the car mate.

BA GT-HO · 07-05-2008, 02:39 PM

Sorry to hear it but as soon as I read you tapped the brakes I thought 'here we go'. You don't need to provoke cretins like this anymore by doing things like that. Plus it gives them ammunition, they can turn around and say you brake tested them etc.. Your better off just doing the speed limit (or slower) and letting them flyby and forgetting about it. Not worth the hassle.

BZINGA · 07-05-2008, 02:40 PM

Bloody hell, this thread and the other thread with middle eastern gun hero's.

Welcome to Australia 2008, it's not going to get any better either unfortunately

blueoval · 07-05-2008, 02:41 PM

Sorry to hear mate. Some groups like this think they are a law unto themselves.

What I usually do when I get a tail gater is not brake check them, but I just take my foot off the accelerator. They have to brake for you then, and if they hit you they have no excuse as the evidence is right there.

I do hope its all fixable, but theres no guarantees. Otherwise, your insurance payout my be the next best option.

No way.

I had an EB wagon that was written off due to the chasis.
Just look how stuffed his rear quarters are. Doubt it'll ever see the road again.

So are those mauri's going to cover the cost of your car?

blueoval · 07-05-2008, 02:48 PM

If you have the original wheels, could you fit them back on the car and at least salvage the 18's and sell em off to regain some cost?

That makes absolutly no difference, you by law are required to leave enough distance in front of you to give you time to brake in an emergency without running up the back of the car in front, thats why it is illegal to tailgate.

LeadFoot81 · 07-05-2008, 03:19 PM

In situations like that, if someones trying their absoloute hardest to get in front of you, tailgating etc, its best to just let them past (especially a car full of Maoris). No backing off the accelerator, no tapping the brakes, just let them past. It doesnt matter whos right or wrong, its not worth the BS. Good to hear no one got hurt, and the car is replacable.

My 19" wheels were not on the insurance policy so Im allowed to have them back, but I've got a mate that can lend me some stockies before I take it in.

And I think I'm gonna change my driving habits from now on!!!!! :hihi: :hihi:

I think our house deposit may get put on hold as well. Just when you think your getting somewhere in life something turns around to bite you in the !

are you for real you can apply your brakes at any time and it is upto the person behind to stop. his actions were in no way unlawful.

satria · 07-05-2008, 03:34 PM

ahahaha only girls drink fanta! what losers!

sorry to hear about what happened though, i hope they get shot for what they did.

WindsorXR · 07-05-2008, 04:19 PM

Yeah, so do I.

would they cops be able to finger print the window the maori bashed on? or do they see it as not being important or a crime committed? surely there would be wittnesses?

So you're telling me if a cop witnessed you 'brake testing' someone there'd be no dramas? What if someone died because you 'lawfully applied your breaks' (aka 'brake tested' them) would you not get in any trouble? Hitting the brakes isnt necessarily unlawful, but surely commonsense comes into play at some point.

For one, the marks on the windows were Knuckle marks and I do have witnesses, but there was just nothing the cops can really do about it. They know who they are and they have their details. I think if they actually punched me or my girlfriend then they would do something.I think they didn't touch us because the cops were on the way.
Basically your damned if you do and your damned if you don't.

WindsorXR · 07-05-2008, 05:32 PM

When I say that I tapped the brakes i didn't do it hard enough to be rear ended. It was just merely to have the lights come on and tell them they are too close to my and it's annoying me.

Bossxr8 · 07-05-2008, 05:35 PM

Some people don't deserve to breath. I had a gun pulled on me out in Corio about a year ago when I tooted some clown who was stopped at a clear intersection and wouldn't turn. He got out of the ute he was in and pulled a gun out of his pants. I just jammed it in reverse and got the frig out of there. What the hell is the world coming to.

Or is it a case that the cops WON'T do anything.if joe blow gets attacked ,the cops usually aren't interested. but if one of their own gets into strife all hell brakes loose. i'm just glad you guys are all right.as for any reffo that brakes the law - deport them back to the sh!thole they crawled out of.cheers.
