An accidental nightmare

Canterbury

On the 29th of May, 2025 early in the morning around 8am, I was caught out by sunstrike, rear ending another driver without warning and writing off both vehicles in the process. Thankfully both the driver of the other car and myself were not hurt as the speed wasn’t very high, around 30kph. Emergency services did a great job tending to the lady I hit and I am grateful them, and for her being supportive of me at the time.

However, I had no insurance, my own fault and a very costly mistake costing me over $22000

I think I have certainly learnt my lesson on insuring my vehicle.

I feel very low and have had to take a very large personal loan to cover the cost to replace the victims vehicle. I don’t like asking for money and I was completely at fault, however my family and colleagues all suggested I try here.

I will be forever grateful for any help I receive.

Use of funds

I will spend the money to hopefully clear as much of my debt as possible to get back to living happily.
