Just had some mates back from a high attrition rate Cape Trip , one rolled his Prado on the loosegravel of the development rd and being a towie he sized it up pretty quick as a write off.

He contacted his total care insurer and trying to be helpful explained this to them and almost instantly the insurers whole approach changed with the words write-off.

Instead of getting the maximum support which would have covered every thing and everyone his suport was dropped to 1 airfare home and you take care of your non-covered accessories etc.


About a year or so ago I related how we had to recover a Yacht from Marree after the owner stuffed his Merc getting up Big Red and in this case the total care insurer would
only ship the car home because with the boat the total combo was over length.

So I guess the above probably means we should be careful what we say in the high stress situation following an incident unless we know the rules very well.

Have you said to much after a bad road incident ?
