Who pays out when a police chase goes all wrong?

I remember back in the 80's, a guy I knew from school stole and smashed a car, the insurance co. kept writing him letters to cough up for damages and they eventually gave up. He had no job, etc. a lost cause.

Yes - the easy way is to declare yourself bankrupt, could be for as little as 12 months, Ive only arms length experience, but seems a way to get out of your responsibilities or at least to get out of the grip of creditors. Not sure it is a good thing.

Your wrong Bfit. You actually insure yourself against hurting others.
Think about it!
The only way "they" can quantify and controll it - is by attatching it to a "registered vehicle"
That way no matter who drives it - there is coverage.

Saves the litergation that was against both insurance companies and drivers.

With CTP the focus became insurance companies, flush with money, whilst Joe Drive may be a hick from Wollongong with nothing - just bad luck!

Big win for drivers untill insurance companies realised that the Golden Goose trough was starting to cut into gross profits.

AND SO ! The rules, regs, inclusions, disclusions, Post Code white washing started.

GOD Help the motorist because the Insurance Company wont.

I don't agree , if you have a licence then you would have insurance .
One insurance for all your cars ,
It would work ,Bfit

Bfit, I agree.
You can't drive more than one car at a time.
If every licensed driver had insurance, every car being driven by a licensed driver would be insured.
Then the risk would be insured.
The commercial oportunity for insurers would be reduced, but I think premiums would increase, as currently there are more cars than drivers.
I don't think things will change.

Exactly - at my home we currently have six vehicles, but two drivers.

But your idea is quiet feasible, in fact could be workable, but to be fair - it shoud be one size fits all, after all I've driven in just about every post code in NSW.

The fact that I've not injured anyone - Oh ummm (if you discount lolly pop men, SydHarb Bridge toll collector, noxious window washer at lights) those
are of course fair game. So my rate would be the same if dr

Great to know that dogged persistence against the odds has paid off.

lol.

Are you saying that because you won, his insurance co. is now hounding him to pay and he wants you to pay for his error?

Fat chance, if his insurance co. has found him at fault, I doubt the law will see it any differently.

Good grief! What's in it financially for him? He wants to try to recover his excess?

Makes no sense to me.

Some people are easily led by sharp lawers.

He wants the money for his injuries and my insurer is refusing to oay. Its complicated but his solicitor is pushing this and thinks they can get it out of me.

Before political correctness became the fashion, I'd have said that you must have killed a Chinaman in a previous life.
