Not sure if anyone here can share their opinion, but for the benefit of others and also myself in future, I'm going to share my story here and see what else I could do to minimize my loss as much as possible.
Story goes like this; I was driving in the PJ ring through Crystal Crown PJ. I was the most inside lane. The guy who caused the accident was on the outer lane which is the left side. We were close at the entrance of the Crystal Crown hotel, I wasn't making a turn but headed straight, all of the sudden, the car on the outside lane made a sudden turn to the left, causing myself and the motorbike on my left to jam brake to avoid the guy who made that sudden turn. Mind you, he was hesitant at first and made the turn without signal.
I was able to avoid him by swerving to the left but since the distance was too close between my car and the motorbike, I managed to stop my car but end up knocking the poor fella out of balance and got my car with some scratch but no dents.
He was injured and the other riders were quick to help that guy up and immediately blame the driver who made the sudden turn. At first he said he will bear the responsibility of the injured rider. BUT that was not the end of it, all of a sudden he was quick to point the blame on me and said I should bear the cost instead for the rider. Obviously I argued with him, had he not made the sudden turn I wouldn't have hit the poor rider. Thankfully the rider had minor injury. No broken bones.
So at the end the rider decided to settle on their own, and I tried to ask for compensation of RM 200 from the driver, and he said he got no money. No money my arse. He was carrying an iphone.
I insisted to make police report but both of them were reluctant to do it. So at the end we all settle on our own, and that faggot arse got away without a single scratch.
base on your situation ,
Assume scenario A
if the motorcycle dude decide make police report and the outer lane dude didint make any report,
you have to be responsible for the accident because your the person who ran into him
Assume scenario B
only if the motorcyclist inside the police report must write the dude on the outer lane
make sudden turn thus causing this accident then only the outer lane dude
will be responsible for the accident. you yourself must also state the same thing
Assume scenario C
you make police report but the outer lane dude didint make any report, motorcycle dude didint make any report
this case will take time to settle, all base on the sergeant decision
Assume scenario D
you and the outer lane dude make police report but motorcycle dude didint make any report,
inside the report is 2 different story. this case will take time to settle, all base on the sergeant decision
worst case scenario is sergeant will ask you both settle your own since both of you cannot produce any evident
or this case will bring forward to majistret to let the court decide.

Hi TS. I got a case here.
My car is damaged in two areas. The front was caused by hit n run (got plate number, made report, but idk the verdict yet)
The rear part I damaged myself.
I wanna repair all. Which is the best method? My car ncd is two years old (this December will be third year)
1. Pay myself to fix everything (front n back)
2. Claim own/ third party (repair front only, pay my own for rear repair)
Next question is, if I wanna claim insurance, can the workshop help me repair the rear "for free". I don't mind sacrificing ncd for this.
go workshop and ask total cost is how much for both repair ,
then calculate yourself to repay back insurance premium with 25%NCD for first year
30%NCD for second year see the total cost exceed the workshop quote or not
Option 1 if workshop price is less then NCD cost , repair yourself
Option 2if workshop price is almost same or equal NCD cost , my advice repair yourself because you time
spend in police station and to gather all the document for insurance claim and the time the
car need to spend inside workshop doesn't worth it.........
Option 3 ODKFKif workshop price is at least 20% higher then NCD cose , go claim but
prepare to spend your time to collect all the document and also the hassle
no car to use during repair.
also pls be remind that the insurance will not pay for the damage in the rear because is
not relate with the accident, you still need to take out your own money to get it repair.
usually workshop will gave you a discount price for the rear portion repair if you
do the insurance claim on front part aswell
Option 4 ODclaim you own insurance and lose NCD but both front and rear will be repair
under insurance
BUT you need to think of a way to make a police
report that stat how you damage both end of your vehicle
