HI good pipols.....

I need ur assistance and guidance on how to go about a certain crazy driver on our roads. last night along jogoo road driving towards town,a certain guy overlaps from the right (offroad) forcing to squeeze to my lane. In the process,he damage my front bamber,headlight and sm other stuff. He gets outta the car staggering (with two other guys),takes my insurance details without any care in the world,gets into the car and drives off!!!...... i didnt get a chance to get his insurance co. but got the reg number.

Just been told about the damage estimate at the garage which hopefully the insurance will pay but am told i have to cater for the excess since they dont have anyone to plame for the accident. or unless i provide the details of the insurance of the other car

my request to you is 'i got the search result of the runaway driver but how/who can i involve to help me identify the insurance of the car or the driver himself ( the police say it will take time to find the owner i.e contacts and workplace.....

Dont plame the driver,just plame your insurance company for not being kind enough.The plame game wont help...

There is no blame game... the driver made a mistake and i dont know who is to find the details of the insurance of the other driver. If it happens am the one to provide those details,then am asking anyone who might know how i can get to locate the other driver and/or his car ...

@Alfa,

Yoi may have to start at Times Towers.If the guy has purchased the vehicle locally then,the transfer form should have his name,postal address and insurance company i.e if he has not changed the companny since the transfer.....

@ alfa,

did you report immediately to the nearest police station...at least your narration does not touch on any contact with the traffic police immediately after the accident...it would easier since a police abstract would help a great deal to smoke out the ruffian...by the way the transfer forms usually indicate the location (home or office of the driver) of the vehicle...

three scenarios are likely here knowing who kenyans are:

Scenario no.1....You pay the excess to your insuarance company so that it can meet the full cost of repairs and the game ends there or

Scenario no. 2....If you did not report the accident to the police then the other driver could have decided to outrun you and reported first...if this is the case you may expect him to lounge a claim against you or

Scenario no. 3.....the other driver's actions immediately after the accident have an intimidation tone meant to put you off so that you do not bother him...

...It is better to pay the access and have the car sorted out than dealing with the police to track that thug of a driver. You will spend more on the police and other things in your efforts to have files availed,believe you me..

...who to plame....

Thanks guys for ur contributions...

@ kaigangio; how does an abstract fish the dude out?.... since i have it and it has not helped me out.....

i immediately reported to the police,got an abstract and already took it to the insurance......

@ magigi; I almost opted for the 1st option but again man the excess is almost 30k thats alot of money. even if am to use police,am sure al spend less than that and for sure this is the time you need a friend to sort you out @ KRA - ma bad know no one there......

maybe sk member could help me out do the consultancy..... hehehe

@ alfa,

since you have the abstract,the only thing that you will need to know is the location (which is obtainable from motor vehicle registrar's offices in Time Towers) of driver or the owner of the car that hit you ....get a lawyer to draft for you a claim letter to the guilty party...the issue here is to get the guy to come running to you and this works just fine...at least it did for me sometime back.....
