Nissan gets physical with a shark...
 

...and comes off worse for it.

Young twit...on a cell phone...at a stop light no less..sigh!

Question:Bumper cover repairable or should i seek a replacement?

Apologies for the large pics.

Advice much appreciated.

Cheers,

You should check the shocks under the bumper. They are a one time use item and need to be replaced if impacted.

That looks exactly like what a semi bump did to one of mine. Get replacement bumper, lenses (they will be spider cracked) possibly shocks (mine was tapped just above the bumper so no need) 928intl has or can obtain all needed.

thanks for the advice fellas.

Cheers

Sheesh.
I really hate to see this.
So sorry.

Makes me want to hack up an alarm proximity sensor

with the good ol' Stebel Nautilus (139 dB)

mounted under my rear bumper.
Some nitwit gets too close in traffic, triggers the proximity sensor and HOOOONNNKKKKK ! from the Stebel.....

Those cell fone idjits are annoying. It would be tempting to grab it and stomp it but that would complicate matters.
79 5sp. needs some activity, been sick (me, not the car)

Sorry to see this. Seems the norm anymore. Hopefully you can repair it easily.

Yes, punching the chit-for-brains in the face would feel wonderful, but only complicate issues.

Brian.

If you need a used bumper and a cover, send me a PM. I know someone that might have what you are after at a good price and is in Ontario too.

It almost got that far in my case. We were "this" close to going at it.

Sorry to see this happen to your car Five-8.

Thanks for the words of support Fellas.
I never got an apology either...what's wrong with some people?

...and to add insult to injury...this happened exiting the mall parking lot...so private property...Cop can't charge the twit...

Cheers,

Adrian

You are nice ! I would shove it up where the sun doesn't shine !

Its only this ****ty province that has this issue. The cop can charge the driver under the criminal code for "dangerous operation of a motor vehicle" but not anything under the HTA.

I would speak to the staff Sargent, you probably wont get anywhere but you never know.

Edit. If you were exiting are you sure you were not on city property? I would be looking at a survey as the city property begins well before the road in most cases.

^^^ Yup, you are right. The right-of-way extends further into "private propert" than most people think but this would not fall into the dangerous operation of a vehicle. It's a minor collission, not fair to even ask for the dangerous operation.

Interesting Adam...this never occurred to me...its worthy of some investigation.

Having the twit charged wouldn't remedy a damn thing...and perhaps at my age...i should be the bigger man...but like a lot of my generation...i am sick to freakin death of the lack of consequences for abjectly irresponsible behaviour.

Thanks for this Adam.

Cheers

I'm with you, people need consequences for their actions. Ontario needs to fix this as it's the only province where cops an not charge on private property under the HTA.

And yes the "dangerous operation" probably doesn't apply in this situation as it was fairly minor.

Go to the city building department and ask for a survey of the area in question.
