MY Car accident with picture
By MichaelJJackson •
Yesterday was driving , the guy infront of me stopped at the green light for no reason and instead of hitting him in the back directly i swerved to the right, and damaged my car .
If i hit him straight , the airbag would have opened and damaged me since i wasnt wearing a seatbelt!
Any idea how much this would cost to fix?
the best thing is to get it fixed from the dealer as the dealer will guarantee for the job. we feel its expensive as we have to pay lump sum amount but when we go to a local garage in sanaiya for sure the expenses are more as they are not professional so they dont maintain accuracy. which all leads to reoccurance of expenses,waste of time and we geting exhausted.
> Never assume the car in front of you is driven by a good driver so maintain safe distance.
Honestly speaking, if you are not able to predict situation and keep reasonable distance, you are not good driver.
and of course, if in front of you also not good driver, then your cars could kiss each other :)
hahahhahahah you kill me......
@MichaelJJ....its really unfortunate to get your car bangd up but the sad fact is everyday 100's of cars get the same treatment.
What I want to tell you is that air bags won't deploy just on any collision. It senses abrupt changes in speed to detect a crash. Driving at around 90kph and then hitting a stationary obstacle such that the car's speed/displacement drops to near zero, or below the threshold of the sensor for that matter, the bags would deploy in your face, depending on the angle of impact.
You could've hit him straight as swerving elsewhere poses danger to pedestrians and other road users.
Anyway, cheer up!
minimum 4000 bro...................
I HATE BLINKING GREEN LIGHTS ..
I dnt know how much it will cost u , but what im sure about it (( it will take alot of time to be fixed)) ..
The main thing is you're OK. The second positive is that if the air bags had deployed, the costs of repair would have been much greater.
hit from the back is mistake as police rule.
not keep a enough distance between car.
anyhow it will cost you more than 8000QAR
wow... mj...
i guess u lucky to be "ALIVE" ....u just "BEAT IT".... that looks kinda "DANGEROUS".......bet u must have had a "THRILLER".....in tht accident anyways, ur car is looking its beat real "BAD"..... i guess u will have a good reason to... "REMEMBER THE TIME" this happened and next time make u to put ur seat belt on......
hey P.S. wearing a seat belt wont make "INVINCIBLE"...though.....
QR. 1500 MAX.
CHECH NORMANDI GARAGE INDUSTRIAL AREA
ohhh my... tough luck :(
be careful next time...
just spend few hours in the industrial area car garage and buy used parts for your car. it will be plug and play so You will save alot. from the pictures i can make out the following.
the bonnet can be repaired.(cost less money)
the bumber can be repaired.(cost less money)
buy a new fender. (save money by purchasing from junkyard).
buy an new headlight(save money by purchasing from junkyard).
can not see the wheel damage. but again try to find a junkyard garage.
once you have the parts then you can easily find any denting shop for the repairs. I did mine behind the Qatar techincal inspection. I think its called top denting. its infront of the exit gate when you go out of the techincal inspection.
good luck
I have the same case of accident (I'm wearing a seatbelt though) and paid around 3700 QR for repairs, I went to a garage in street 19 industrial area called A plus? can't remember but it sounds like that. anyway they make a quite good job and my car looks like it did not went into an accident. I hope this helps and please check your neck and see a doctor, you may have a hidden injury there..
The best and cheap garage I know is Bombay garage,st 27 near st wakalat, industrial area,,,,,,
Get back to work and look around for Quotes, Garages and Workshops AFTER OFFICE HOURS!....lest you lose your job too. If you have a good job, just focus on that; there'll be plenty of time and money for cars and accidents!
Send me pm your mobile number ill buy your car cash now dont worri with good price .. Im waiting for you ok
No one gave me a price yet!
if its your front, you are at fault, if its at the back half, its the other guys fault....
at Darude
i disagree with
"the fault is always yours if hit on left" :
not alway:
if at a road intersection, the guy to ur left don't give the right of way, he'll hit ur left side, and it will be 100% his fault.
where did you learn driving from?
the hood still opens
Its not my neck its more of my left shoulder because i moved the steering wheel really quick , so i jerked my shoulder in the process , but otherwise its fine
Im expecting a bill of 7000 QAR for this
Tire is punctured ...
Not sure why the headlight is expensive
Im waiting for a quote now
No need to go to the doctor , its fine !
no seatbelt - clever boy, you should be nominated for a darwin award!
2500
PS.. Are you a doctor??
what happened to his neck?
Well I'm more worried about his neck.:(
Sal u first
...why don't we all chip in with QR 50 each (perhaps as tribute to the real Michael Jackson!) and help him out here...
were you drunk?
those who don't worry about the bill
Hope ur neck is still properly erected above your shoulders. Wishing you well.:D
better get repair from Nissan if u have Insurance coverage, normal garage will use duplicate parts and paint. The only problem in company is more time and money needed.
It looks you are hurt and will feel the pain today. You should get the headlight and fender plus the labour including denting and painting will cost you arround 3500 riyals.
I agree with Khanan
piece of advice.
Don't go to Industrial Area after sunset. Seems to be horror and haunted town, ruled by the heavy vehicles drivers.
MJJ, next time wear your seat belt.
Get yourself checked by a doctor, if your neck hurts, because a small impact or jerk like this, can also lead to long time damage, if not checked right away.hope you do have medical insurance, otherwise thats another expense for you.
the body does look quite damaged, cant make out the tyre area, add that expense as well, if there is damage to the tyres and rim.
get a quotation from atleast 3-4 different garages, and yes, as Doha Chap said, dont go alone. you will be a sacrificial lamb if you go alone.
be mentally prepared for a heavy bill, and try to comfort yourself that the accident could have been worst, with serious injuries to you, but presently its just damage to the car.
your car was broken yesterday and you were asking for mechanic
second the fault is always yours if hit on left.
I was in the right lane :(
Private garage is better , if i go to nissan ill come out with over 10,000 QAR
and avoid the fast lane!
DC.. i think its better for him to go to any private garage in Industrial Area coz getting his car fixed from the Company will cost him a lot compared to private garage.
Another thing flor , if u slow down , at the traffic light even if its green , ppl honk or flash light you with high beams its rude of them !
Yeah I need to wear a seatbelt..I think more around 5-6 k to fix it , im hoping around there , if more , then im not sure what to do , the headlight is more expensives than the body
I do no think the body can be repaired its totally gone!
the guy infront of me was wearing a landrover
Probably be less damage if i hit him straight in the bumper but id get more damage to myself that way !!!
approaching signal intersection should be cautious. Drive defensively. Never assume the car in front of you is driven by a good driver so maintain safe distance. But the problem is not all knew what safe distance is that corresponds to speed of the car.
In layman terms, learn the actual safe braking distance of your car that corresponds to a certain speed!
You’re going to the Industrial area to fix your car! Oh MY! You so gonna get ripped off!
Piece of advice: “Don’t go alone”
Next time wear Seat belt and slow down near the Traffic Signals
For nissan, keep in mind minimum of 2,500
and please guys dont stop your car at green light when its blinking... if you are not sure tht you'll make it ...best thing is you apply brakes at least 100m before you reach the traffic lights so that the person behind you sees your brake lights and slows down too... dont just apply brakes all of sudden just coz you are confused...
QR 5K.
We call it Beating the Green Light hahaha... Now you have lesson ALWAYS WEAR SEAT BELT hahaha
It will cost you a lot around 4,000 with that car. Also you have to mention to the police what happen and tell him that you don't wear seat belt.
from 3~4 garages.
huge price difference.
the dealers??
If yes, it will cost you alot both money-wise and time wise.
from the picture it seems alot of work. The headlights are broken which are in the range of QR 600~800. The bumper need repair. and Complete replacement of the body over the tyre. My rough estimate would be QR 2000~2500.
did you take a police report
LOL chairboy ... Take care next time Micheal
Usual charges per EACH car section:
Bumper 250-- repair
Fender 250-- repair (better buy new)
Bonnet 250-- repair
Door 250-- repair
Left Head Light SET and Other small nuts and bolts they may require to BUY by your own
You can ask them discount (say 200 per section or so) as in your case, you seem to have 4 sections involved.
better be sure you're ok. Car can easily be replaced or repair but hope no unpleasant injury to you.
As to the car, go to your insurance and check their accredited garages and from there, choose or if you have friends here who knows Industrial area, ask them.
..and unfortunately your wallet will hurt tomorrow!!
No injuries to anyone , thank god , but i think my neck hurts today. :(
Yeah I got a police report to repair.
The police said its my fault no matter what , even if the driver stopped his car and is sleeping at the green light its my fault.
Also , the thing is i have third party insurance , so i have to pay for my own insurance :(
Anyone have an estimate of how much this will cost approximately ?
flor, i was about to comment the same. lol!
Plus did you get a police report to authorize repairs?
Be careful and wise in choosing the garage most of them works for money ONLY they even don't know the meaning of QUALITY.
Ohhhhhh did any thing happen to you? Any injuries?
Yesterdat I visited a garage in industrial area 44, I also was hit from behind when I was in Dubai.
This workshop deals with lots of insurance companies and its price is very reasonable.
I am not making any advertisement for anyone, I even forgot the name of the garage. However I have the guys tel. no and if you are interested I will give it to you.
Try to also check other workshops to compare between price/quality/time to finish the works.
but admitting you are not wearing your seatbelt! Lol!
Next time wear a seat belt.....
