Ya, reread it after I posted and I see what you mean. If you go off his pic it looks like the damage was done by a vertical pole, ie. doesn't look like it bent over after the initial contact? That's my reasoning atleast but i'm not an adjuster haha.

New tires would of cost you $900

Light poll that you damage cost $2000 (not including labor)

written off your 96 bmw $5000

You commited a crime and got away with it, now you come ON Revscene telling people what you did providing a picture with proof! you must be sitting there thinking why the hell did i write this up. "I'm SUCH an Idiot! great i can't edit fast enough and people have quoted me" what should i do now? delete my account?? and then this.

I would have done it if you hadn't. There's nothing wrong with being a snitch...this guy is potentially contributing to the overall increase in premiums.

man, i am indifferent about this situation though...
i totally understand why you would fwd the info to a rcmp

But, its like you are telling your friends about the weed you smoked last week, and someone ratted you out to the cops....

i think OP takes revscene as a community/brotherhood if you will, you can be a good friend that will tell him the RIGHT MOVE is to MANN UP, but just rattin him out like that...I dont know... think abt it, do you think twice before tellin your friends how you fucked up smth?

Look @ the "how much weed do you smoke" in the NSFW part of the forum, i dont see anyone rattin any of them out... just sayin'

now thats out of the way

I guess one can easily argue that if everyone was as irresponsible as the OP..then yes all hell will break lose and premiums and taxes will shoot up.

But honestly, I doubt one or a few accidents like this will make difference to you as taxpayers.

No personal property/possession was damaged, nothing was stolen, no one was scamed no one was hurt...why snitch?

I hope I'm not being trolled by Soulcrusher haha

The guy is looking for some advice and help, not to be shitted on and say "yea you fucked up hard this time bro"

We all have accidents and thats why it's called an "accident" because you never meant to do it. I don't see OP with any faults here that can put the blame on him like a DIU etc...

Personally I think you should just walk away from it and get a new car. Just like what dark0821 said, no one should purposely rat out someone when no one was harmed in any way thankfully and someone is seeking some advice on what to do.

Just my 2 cents

The OP is in violation of the Motor Vehicle Act and committing an offence. When people commit offences like murder, vandalism, abuse, you wouldn't report it?

I know it may not seem to be the same level as a murder, but more on that later.

Duty of driver at accident
68 (1) The driver or operator or any other person in charge of a vehicle that is, directly or indirectly, involved in an accident on a highway must do all of the following:
(a) remain at or immediately return to the scene of the accident;
(b) render all reasonable assistance;
(c) produce in writing to any other driver involved in the accident and to anyone sustaining loss or injury, and, on request, to a witness
(i) his or her name and address,
(ii) the name and address of the registered owner of the vehicle,
(iii) the licence number of the vehicle, and
(iv) particulars of the motor vehicle liability insurance card or financial responsibility card for that vehicle,
or such of that information as is requested.

(3) The driver or operator or any other person in charge of a vehicle involved in an accident resulting in damage to property on or adjacent to a highway, other than a vehicle under subsection (2), must take reasonable steps to locate and notify in writing the owner or person in charge of the property of the fact of the accident and of the following:
(a) the name and address of the driver, operator or other person in charge of the vehicle;
(b) the name and address of the registered owner;
(c) the licence number of the vehicle.

Yes no personal property was damage, what about public property? Isn't there a value on public property? We all pay for it through taxes.

The OP owes a duty as a driver at an accident to notify the proper owner. Who might that be? The city. How would he do so? Well he can first start off by reporting it to ICBC.

It's not just about higher premiums, its about safety. How can you foresee that no one will get hurt? Just because no one did, there is still an increase in the probability that the general public could get hurt as a result of the OP's negligence if the lamppost was not reported and fixed ASAP. The lamppost is on the ground for crying out loud:

Although I cannot attest the exact location of the fallen lamppost, if it fell on the road on a highway on or off ramp that could well be a blind corner, someone COULD get hurt.

Here is a prime example, do you remember this? The person responsible for the gate at BCIT was negligent and could have killed the driver in the STI. In our case, the OP by leaving the accident and not notifying the proper authorities, leaving a lamppost on the ground is surely negligent or at least contributorily negligent if someone were to get hurt.

OP committed an offence under the MVA, and is negligent of his duty as a driver after an accident. What is DIU, you mean DUI? He would have to be under the influence of a drug. There is no way to pin that on him, however his could well be driving without care and attention.

The difference is that we're not his friends. We do not know if his accident was genuine or that of a careless one. His actions made the public streets less safe as a result.

Smoking weed on the other hand, as it is illegal, it is a grey area. Does smoking weed directly affect someone's safety? Do you think that drivers who do not drive with due care and attention affect the safety of the public more so than those who smoke weed?

Also, you would have a hard time identifying who is smoking weed through the internet, whereas you have picture worth a thousand words from the OP.

I find it quite hypocritical, when RS members who are strongly against drinking and driving, speeding, and reckless driving, actually failed SoulCrusher for reporting this incident.

You guys reported, on multiple occasions, people doing burnouts at the RS meets, taking pictures of them and sending them to police. How is this any different? Did anyone ultimately get hurt from that guy doing a burnout that year? No, but yet you all applauded when an RS member submitted pictures to the police.

I'm just trying to elaborate the perspective of SoulCrusher. There is no reason why he should have been failed for his post and his actions.
