who's at fault??

**BoyBakaL** · February 10th, 2009 07:26 PM

I got a similar situation 10 years ago my flat bed truck with 16ft length was carrying a 20 ft steel bar.. my truck was about to turn left in a bumper to bumper situation along a busy 2lane-2 lane ortigas ave. where a bus at the back was tailgating it.. since its bumper to bumper and he saw my truck was about to turn left naturally he swerve to the right to overtake it.. as he swerve to the right he said he didn't see the signal sign because the taillight of my truck is under those steel bar which is only visible to a car or from a distance(naturally bcuz hes tailgating).. anyway as he swerve to the right keep moving forward my truck turned left the bars protruded the rear tire underside of the bus thus piercing to his engine at the back.. take note that intersection was being manned by a police and signaled my truck to turn left.

well they sued my driver and not me but they keep asking me money but i wont pay as im not driving it all being said the other party is messing the police report saying our fault.. a decade court hearing later still no verdict..

plus the damage report even balloned to 200t plus we didnt pay any cents.. the driver reported to the hearings and nothing happened till now..

in other words maghabol sya ng maghabol wala din sya mangyayari...
plus your safe naman i think your driver will inherit the problem..

bro, wala naman palang police report pabayaan mo na lang

if i understood correctly... both vehicles are coming from different directions but your truck is making a left turn at the intersection. bakit nahagip yung left side ng L300 na hindi nadamay yung right bumper (parang napitik lang)? miscalculation ba o talagang masyadong labas na sa linya yung nguso ng L300 as stated dahil umabante sya kahit stop nga? kung ang L300 ay pasok sa yellow zone (intersection marker), kasalanan niya pero kung hindi sya lumagpas may tulog ang driver mo. pero kung wlang linya, yan ang mahirap dahil wala ngang report na basehan.

my truck was coming from dapitan st (which is one way) he was turning left at the intersection(maceda st) at the green light.so its safe to assume that vehicles on maceda st are on a red light. the L300 was on the left side of maceda st(two way single lane street) awaiting their turn to go. however since the l300 was in a hurry, he kept inching forward even though he knew that my truck was negotiating the turn, if the L300 didn't inch forward my truck would've cleared the turn easily. the rear bumper of my truck grazed (sumabit) on the front left signal-corner light of the L300, (driver side ng L300).sorry for my confusing statement hehehe

Sabihin mo sa driver ng L300 na kakasuhan mo siya ng hit and run kung di siya tumigil sa pagkulit sa inyo. Nasa bumber pa ba ng truck ninyo pintura niya?

ah okay, yun naman pala eh... siguradong labas na ang nguso ng L300 kasi imposibleng mahagip sya ng truck mo dahil palayo pala ang pagliko nya.
maigi siguro unahan mo na magbigay ng statement sa police kahit paano yung side mo ang mailalagay don.

nakita niya nung una na hindi naman sasabit since malayo yung gap. etong L300 kasi usad ng usad paabante kaya sumabit. maraming nakakita at sinasabi nung mga witness na abante nga ng abante yung L300 kaya tinamaan. balak siguro talaga manggantso nito. kasi dapat kung agrabyado siya tumawag siya ng police para sa report, kaso dinaan sa sindak yung driver ko. etong driver ko naman matatakutin. sabi ko nga wag bayaran. ang malas pa nito nakatira lang malapit sa amin yung may ari ng L300.

yep ganyang ganyan ang itsura. walang center island dun sa maceda st. nung paliko ang truck namin nasa tamang pwesto lang yung L300, kaso nung haos makumpleto na yung liko ng truck tsaka umabante si L300 kaya nasagi
