Thank you for being a asshole  | Well, considering you don't need his approval to record him on audio, it wouldn't really matter. In Canada, only one party needs to know that they are being recorded. And this party is you.
Knowledge > you

regardless..
ICBC isnt fair to begin with in most cases
just hope for the best
its all on how ICBC feels if they believe u he was trying to pass on the shoulder
and becuz u have no witness, things can go 50/50
tell the other driver, that u will settle privately, but note to icbc
its the safest way to do this, and it wont screw with anyone unless he runs
becuz once the other party decides to settle out of it, then if he runs, u have a case

I have to re-read again to understand what you are explaining, be sure to explain clearly in detail to the adjuster.
- Brenz hit & run
- HOV no solid line
- you shoulder check and everything before turning
do you still have the side mirror too?

Since it's just a mirror, chances are he's better off paying for your repairs. If he's a douche and tries to run, then simply turn the invoice over to ICBC and he's screwed either way. | Yeah the guy wanted to pay without dealing with ICBC. I reported it to ICBC about 20 mins after the hit. Once I find out how much it's going to cost today, I'll probably give the dude a call.

The guy said he is a bus driver. If it turns out he's liable for this and its his fault, does it affect his job in any way?

You can't use your g/f as a witness. Also, I believe this is gonna be 50/50 (or 100% u) or on you because you said you were changing lanes (meaning you were making the action). He will likely say you tried to change lane into the HOV lane and you were parallel while u tried to change lanes and when you notice him you severed out of his lane but to late and your mirror came off. ICBC goes with what reasonably happen and don't believe we have such morons on the road.
He is gonna lie and I think he's gonna try to fawk u. You might want to try to settle out of ICBC because he probably won't want a 50/50 on his record.

I've seen this happen before. When its his word vs. yours and no unbiased 3rd party involved, I'd say there's a good chance ICBC will find you partially at fault.
My exprience with this was:
Coworker was 2nd on left turn lane. 1st car was in the intersection waiting to turn left, missed his chance and decided to reverse back to left turn lane without looking, and backed into my coworkers car. They exchanged info, everything seemed to be straightforward.
Coworker reports to ICBC. Car #1 advises to ICBC that the damage resulted from my coworker rear ending Car #1. Since ICBC was left with conflicting versions of incident w/ no unbiased 3rd party witness, resolution was 50/50.
In your case, and judging by his efforts to flee the incident, and weasel out of it by occupation related excuse, I foresee the Benz driver retelling the incident in a manner that benefits him and you at fault.

dno if girlfriends count as a family member | You can't use anyone in your car as a witness because they're going to be bias. ICBC will automatically expect anyone you're friends with/family/dating to side with you, even if you're at fault.

but the other party hasnt responded to anything or made reports becuz the benz driver dont want a record, tho its too late now, iwntaskyline is clearly the responsible driver and has a high chance of winning

ya think about this in ICBC's stand point.... they are going to try their fucking best to pin that shit on BOTH of you. 50/50.
first thing, you got no witness. next thing, even tho you are not at fault in your eyes the dude in the merc can still fucking change his story thus fucking you up as well causing a 50/50 since you got no witness.....
if the guy in the merc is willing to pay for damages then take it...

Let them pay for the repairs, and if buddy in the Benz doesn't want it to affect his rates, he can repay ICBC. Dealing with him directly opens up all manner of cans of worms that could potentially come back to bite you in the ass. Quote:

It only applies if he hits something IN the lane that he's moving INTO. In this case, he was hit by someone else who was in the lane he was moving OUT OF.

or it could go 100% either way, all up to the benz.

Took it to body shop today, gonna get it fixed in about a day or so. No body work needed just a quick installation.
Still no call from ICBC so they still haven't talked to the guy yet.
