wrong place, wrong time?

Had some guy follow me home from work today... reckons that I caused him to have a car accident last Thursday. He claims that I was driving on his side of the road around a blind corner, he swerved to miss me and lost control and hit a guard rail.

Unfortunately for him I have evidence that I was 40kms away from where he says the accident happened. I have an invoice from Repco for new belts for the Patrol and I used my card so it is on my bank statement too. He came across as a really nice guy, but from what I can gather he either has the wrong person, or is just trying to put the blame on someone and claim through their insurance.

If I was in the wrong, I would have no problem at all fixing the damage to his vehicle. I've had an accident on that same road due to no fault of my own. I've gotten legal advice (Mum lol) and have been told not to get upset with him or anything, just politely tell him that I'm sorry but there's nothing that I can do and that he has the wrong person.

That sounds like it was me driving, I often drive on the other side of the road.... for some reason the drive is smoother on the wrong side of the road.....less pot holes for some strange reason.

Did he show you evidence of damage on his car..... sounds like he was trying 2 scam you for some cash....

If it was true, why didn't he report it 2 the police and let them deal with it?

Mate, in a nice way, tell him 2 stick it where the sun don't shine

Well in case it went further then lucky for the receipt and good for you mate for keeping your cool as a lot of people (possibly me) could potentially flip out when someone accuses you of something you didn't do...lol

Trust me, if you knew this road you would NOT drive on the other side, blind corners everywhere and would be a matter of minutes before a big accident happens. To be honest I do cut corners a bit on the ones where you can clearly see ahead... everybody does. To cut a blind corner (like he thinks that I did) is just stupid driving. I know just how dangerous that road in particular is, so I take extra care on it.

He was driving a different car, no damage. All signs point to a scam artist. I hope he isn't though and he just has the wrong person.

I'm gonna go to the police tomorrow too, not to dob him in or anything. Just let them know the situation in case he gets angry that I'm not gonna pay out and decides to get "revenge" somehow.

yeah all sounds a bit dodgy to me mate, get the police involved for your sake.

I dont drive on the wrong side of the road. ......because both sides are mine at some point of the day hahaha

[ReefMagnet]

There's a wrong side of the road???

[megatexture]

sounds dodgy t0 me just tell him to go find another scapegoat and id prob not even tell him about the receipt so u can see if he is genuine as you will be then contacted from cops or insurance if he is, and if u don’t he’s a scammer .
