I think you all must look at the other party stand also. Cannot say unreasonable.
You must see the victim side of the story also. I got bang from behind by a someone who is so busy talking to someone. First that screw up one whole day as I need to send my car to IDA for inspection and to workshop. Then have to wait for workshop to order the parts and make repair. Of course the repair take 2-3 days. Nowaday worse if NTUC insurance still have to wait for the lowest quotation then can repair, die another day of wait.
While my car is being repaired, how do I get to work ? It is at the bloody end of tuas which no bus or MRT. Even near MRT take also need about $20 for a single trip . I did nothing wrong, people bang into me, so why must I take another 2-3 day leave or fork out my money to pay for all the extra cost of transportation ? Don't bang into others if you are not willing to pay for others inconvience ! Of course no choice but to rent a car and charge to the other party .
You must understand, so what you pay for the repair - people's new car get bang up by u, people heart broken, also you waste people time and paperwork. Yes you can say that I got my repair and car rental ? Did I gain !!! I still lost 1 & 1/2 day of leave ( 1 day to do IDA and paperwork and 1/2 to collect it from workshop ), also a new car ok let people bang and have to replace parts, also have sad feeling .... !!!
The problem is our friend here did not go to IDA ! that the problem, if the amount like now end up with repair and rental is high then he can go to claim his own insurance ... but now without IDA inspection ... it is a done deal, insurance will not accept it , he will just have to pay .... as he did not follow legal proceedure.
