The Insurance  companies find any loophole to reduce their costs. As i mentioned if you have an accident in a roundabout they will assume both parties are to blame regardless of what the police say.
The term is called "knock for  knock."
In your accident they probably decided to share the burden between each other  for the pile up blamimg each car that ran into the back of the other.

I think that's how CTP works and why it's compulsory. Injured people can't be left in the lurch with high medical bills, even if they walked in front of your car and it's their fault. This is why the fines are heavy for driving around uninsured/unreg.

bootlegger:
People.arent i the lurch if you have an accident with an unregistered car. The nominal defendant covers the bill.
If you hit a roo or any other wilflife and get injured you are covered under this scheme as well.
You arent covered for domestic animals.

Big changes to the operation of CTP commencing December this year in NSW:
