Unedited video now uploaded... Please disregard the audio recording. lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQ8m4wlefRM I did what I can to avoid the accident. The action of the other party (OP) is and will be a danger to other commuters on the roads. Road conditions at the time of the accident: Clear and dryMinimal trafficMotorway/freeway (100km/h zone)Pre 23:01:00 (time) OP do not have stopped traffic in front of he's laneI did not have traffic in my lane23:01:00 (time) OP started to enter my lane; the fast lane, I can barely see even in my videoOP did not indicate before and when he is changing laneOP changed lane without a safe distanceOP may have no brake lamps/globes. Faulty? (compared to the vehicle behind him)23:01:01 (time) OP still entering my laneI reacted by pressing my brakes, headlamps started to dip 23:01:02 (time) OP came to a complete stop. Faulty brake lamps?OP stopped when there are no interference in both the middle and the fast lane (my lane). These lanes are clear. Please note, there are no stopping on the motorway/freewayOP left wheel are still on the broken line markingMy car braking, headlamps dipped even further23:01:03 (time) Impact occurred on the start of 3rd second.While reviewing the NSW RMS road rules (www.rta.nsw.gov.au/licensing/downloads/road_users_handbook.pdf‎), I have extracted the following: Page 122 Before changing lane, signal plenty of time and check for other vehicles by looking in your mirrors and your blind spot (look over your shoulders). Page 129 When overtaking you must: Not go over the speed limitMake sure the road ahead is clear and that there is sufficient space for you to complete the manoeuvre (check side streets and other lanes to ensure nothing will enter this space while you are overtaking).Check mirrorsSignal each change in position long enough to give sufficient warning to others.Check blind spots for motorcycles and other vehicles before changing your lane position.Pass the vehicle with sufficent space to avoid a collision (you should be able to see the vehicle you have overtaken in your rear vision mirror before you move in front of it).Give way to traffic already in the lane you are moving to.You must not overtake: Unless you have a clear view of any approaching traffic and you can complete the manoeuvre safely (do no commence an overtaking manoeuvre when approaching a crest, curve or any limited vision situation).I did receive an infringement from the Police, charging me for negligent driving... Who do you guys think is at fault?

Firstly I would like to say that I am very thankful that all parties, my partner, gentleman in front and me, were able to walk out of the accident without much injury. I was involved in another accident last Thursday which may result in parting with my Camry… From what I am aware, the Police have not yet come to a conclusion on who is at fault. But, someone has quietly informed that I may be charged for reckless driving!!! If this is the case, I will definitely appeal this in court. In short, what happened was around 11pm I was travelling on the M4 motorway in an overtaking 100 km/h speed zone lane without any traffic in front of me... suddenly a car decides to change into my lane and came to a complete stop… This car did not indicate at all, brake lights not working, and also stopped with no traffic in front of both middle and overtaking lane. I only have 3 seconds to respond and come to a complete stop, in which was impossible… This car that was in front of me was being a rubberneck and checking out another accident on the slow lane… I will try to upload a video from my black box for you guys to see, having no solid information from the Police as of yet, it is driving me mental, need some clarity. :( Thank you for reading.

Awesome! I like!! Well done!

At work, been parking there for the last 5 years yeaah~ been spotted lol

So sad I am not there. Have fun!!

There are too many possibilities... Should take her to your local mechanic?

oh noo....

Nice!!!

jeez, long wait... this will drive myself crazyy

I recently moved out west, so western Sydney. I travel everywhere as a big chunk of my clients are out Chatswood way. come to think of it I've spotted you twice,pre accident, Parra Rd at Granville and at a servo next to Taleb Tyres a while back, night time....The wheels look great too I am always parked on Parramatta Road Granville, next to the servo, because i work there :D Like the wheels too! hehehe... yeeaahH!! I've been spotted.

Pedders?

I must be blind, never seem to spot anyone...

Thicker sway bars do help. Made a big difference on my car, in terms of handling. I have also changed the shocks and lower spring. This made the ride stiffer. Is it better? I do not know as it made me a slower driver on the road Hope this helps. Patience is not something everyone have.

L/H rear door colour is different to the rest of the car.

Finally repaired!! yeahhh!!!

The rear door colour is kinda off....

hehehehe... i like it too... were not easy.

It does, not as bright as the front though. should change the led within. I'll take some more photos once the car is repairs. Flow coated the bonnet today.

Thought I share my new mod with your guys! hehehehe.... happy

Finally started repairs! hehehehehe.... After reading Jeffy's thread, should i convert my Camry into manual too??

DId a boo boo on the weekend... Glad no one was hurt due to my carelessness... Result...

True that all aftermarket are defects without auto leveling and washer jets. but the chances of defects are dramatically reduced when projectors are installed. My car was defected twice within six months before i installed projectors.

These tow bars are usually bolted onto the chassis rails, therefore it will not effect your exhaust muffler. That tow hook in your image will need to be removed in order to install the tow bar. Your local tow bar suppliers should be able to supply the mounting brackets as these tow bars are common. Good luck.

With your budget, 2 channel amp will be suffice. Rear speakers are sound fillers only, so I would recommend spending more money on front speakers.

Used many tyres... so +1 for Yokohama or Michelin Never cheap on tires. Seen too much accidents caused by cheap/budget tyres
