I sorry, i dont understand what you are trying to say? No, i not trying to be mean but i cant comprehend your thoughts.

if unsure; to appear in traffic court, seek a lawyer if need be. You can represent yourself but chances are you'll be in a disadvantage. (language & knowledge).

understand the suit. get help. if the magistrate (person helming court) passes judgement against you; it means you lose the proceedings & likely too be fined by the magistrate.

YOU can appeal while in (court) session but dont worry you wont be jailed unless the seriousness (manslaughter/innocent people killed/reckless driving under heavy influence, etc) . hope this helps.

Daniel,

If you are being sued, I would first look for a counsel ...

I hope you are not planning to represent yourself - the motorbike insurance probably using their counsel to put you in the wrong (that is, if you are not in the wrong) ...

ok dude.. just stay calm.

I was in court for a road accident 2 yrs ago, resulting a guy with 2 broken bones in a leg...

depending on your police report.. i was discharge of all charges for any reckless driving and it was the dude that was charged for jaywalking... they can't charge me, so they wanted to claim liability fr my car insurance. My insurance agency had their lawyers to defend the case for me.. so i didn't have to anything, but to attend the court sessions.

end of the day.. i paid nothing... except some hospital registration bill, only a few bucks.. and wasted alot of fucking times at the court, which was dragged for almost 2 years.

oh by the way, at that time, that car was my dad's...

so, was u the guilty one? if yea... hmm.. then itz gonna me a lengthy one. Talk to your lawyer.. hear what is his feedback on the case. Normally they can't charge u straight. Charge can only take place after the police has investigated the case. So what was the police verdict?

you might get big on this since you "crossed" to opposite road. means you went into other ppl's lane. also the motorcyclist rammed into your passanger door... if rammed behind your car then there're other area which you can argue on.in many cases like this, you are consider to be the wrong end.

you should get a lawyer to engage into this matter and you also driving a car that doenst belong to you. you're not insured and you might need to pay from your own pocket. the best is after you get yourself a lawyer, always get him to talk the guys to settle the thing out of court. somemore the case is does not involved death or serious injury to the person.

the worst is you will get summon. but the point where you driving other ppl's car that might give you a minus on that. and i hope you're not having "P" license.

in this kind of cases, usually it is money in the mind. the case is strong against you and the chances for them to win is almost 100%. YES. you will pay for everything including all the losses and damages (income n etc etc...). there're always room for appeal and make sure your lawyer explain everything to you properly.

 

[eyong]

Z3, is right. If you are insured (then again, it was your father's frens car - so you might not be the nominated driver), you may use your insurance.

Normally, both counsels will try to negotiate and settle the matter out of court. However, if the police is involved, then someone would have to pay for the summons ...

not necessary... my accident was involving my car and a padestrian... u would think the padestrian will win 100% rite?

nope.. i won my case.

[kent20]

2005 JUNE did u make the police report after the accident?
i think that should be 100% u did the police report,else the car couldn't be claim by insurance,as long as u already made the police report,don't worry about it,bring ur police report along during the court day,that should be mantioned the point on the lawyer letter they send to you "why they sue you" or "what thier request" overall that would be something notice on the letter,notice that why they want to sue you

No Jail,money is everything.....if talking about sammon during u report accident that time the police already give u RM300 sammon on the spot.....

dont worry bro,nothing happen one....

 

[DR78]

at all times do not admit u r guilty.. ur not guilty..no zth members r guilty..i'm not guilty...

Accident/Sue does happen nowadays.

A friend of mine had an accident with a motorist 3 years ago. It was clearly my friend's fault since he was driving fast and recklessly. The motorist (actually the passenger) was injured. The injury was so-so only, no broken bones or severed limbs). But it didnt end there.

The motorist threatened my friend to sue him if he fails to pay for the damages and medical bills. The damages to bike and the car was covered with no problems at all(insured). The problem were the medical bills(yes, plural).

Since the day af the accident, my friend had to send the motorist every week to hospital/clinic (i'm not sure). I dont know how many times he had to send her to see a doctor but all i remembered is my other friends started to codename the motorist my friends 'mother'.

As it turned out, the motorist is actually diabetec (kencing manis) so the injuries will be very very hard to heal. After too many clinic visits, my friend stopped as he felt he has done what he should've done.

Soon after, he was charged to court. He refered this matter to his insurance company, and they settled it out of court.

So, daniel, try to seek help from the insurance company. Well.. at least try.
note: He is not a nominated driver, but it was his dad's car.

 

[daniel tan]

yes

i have report to police immediately after the accident

and the police is saman me for Rm300

i already pay for that

but the problem is,the resit i give to the my fren father(who is the car owner), and the resit is BUANG already, and now is no way to prove me is pay for that saman

and the lawyer letter that i receive, it is got mention that the motorist is want the fees of medical and the fees for repair the motorcyle...

Hire a killer and kill the 2 bikers. Those kind of stupid bikers are better of dead. It's just too bad that I've had one too many bad experience with people who ride cheap bikes. So now, I'm saying that almost all people who ride cheap bikes are not worth having a life on this planet. Period.

 

[dean75]

Bro...calm yourself ...... dont be so like that lah...they also pay road tax like you and everybody. Not everyone like those lousy rider. Thank god you can afford to buy car when they can only afford cheap bike. I know how you feel but I dont agree with your strong word. :shades_smile:

 

[AJ6677]

in this case, if the car is insured...which i believe so, just inform the insurance company abt the summons served on u. the insurance company will then appoint their panel solicitors (lawyer) to represent you in court. there's nothing to be worried about. ur license will not be suspended. the 2 bikers only claiming damages or compensation. if u r found guilty, the insurance company will have to pay the bikers their damages. that's all dude. anyway...good luck.

 

[prozac]

but the problem is,the resit i give to the my fren father(who is the car owner), and the resit is BUANG already, and now is no way to prove me is pay for that saman ...

Police should have the record of your saman already paid, in their database.

They also cannot simply take away your license as long as your Kejara points are still <15.

 

[satria_95]

they also pay road tax like you and everybody. Not everyone like those lousy rider. Thank god you can afford to buy car when they can only afford cheap bike. I know how you feel but I dont agree with your strong word.

I thought those bikers don't pay road tax anymore? Wasn't the road tax abolish for motorbikes abolished already? And I do not care whether they have money to buy bike, or bicycle, or aeroplane, or space shuttle. I am saying that those should-go-to-hell bikers are usually riding cheap bikes. But the cheap bike is not the problem. It is THE RIDER that is the problem. I won't even go into detail what kind of rider are those people/animals/thrash.

It's just too bad that I've had one too many bad experience...... So now, I'm saying that almost all people who ride cheap bikes

And since when did I say "ALL" of them are lousy? And this is MY own opinion based on my own personal experience so please understand that I am not posting on behalf of anybody or everybody. Thank you for your understanding.
