Startline bus *********** driver not at fault....REALLY!!!!!
Hi ,
In 23rd Aug'18 . I was involved in a accident with Starline bus where the driver as *********** as he is damaged my car and did not even realized what happened until I had to scream and ask him to pull over so *********** is the next level with this guy .
1 month later after numerous emails documents submissions to NTI and their broker and Santam .
The driver's version apparently is as follows :
According to our driver’s version of the accident, There was a vehicle that was travelling in front of him. He then move into a bus stop to off load passengers. You overtake the bus. He then realized that there was a car in front, you drove back and hit the rear right back corner of the stationary bus, with the left bumper of you vehicle.
Now tell me if you believed that I drove past the bus in a one way no way to turn around in Brooklyn on Justice Mohamed street around 06h30 on a Thursday morning and after a pass the bus a drive back just to bump my left side bumper on a stationary bus.....Let me just let that sink in.....
Now my statement is as follows :
I drove in the right lane and the bus was in front of me in the left lane . As I was just passing by the middle of the bus the driver turns into the right line no indication what so ever in front of me . I slam on the brakes and stop in time about mm away from the bus luckily and my car cuts out as it was a sudden brake . Now the bus driver again *********** as he is he starts to drive does not even look behind him and pushes my car with the bus back side one side damaging the left side of my car not hearing me screaming tooting at him to stop .
Now which version would you believe as Santam believes the driver . Now they will not pay out as the two versions are different and his that is full of holes they believe .
I want to know now how do you as Santam determine which version you stick to or are you as a company just interested in making money .
