Hi folks
Can any one tell me if you have a crash into a traffic light pole. Will there be a bill for a new one?
And how much are traffic light poles worth?
Long story short i no someone who crash he's 250 in to a traffic pole and he seems to think he will not have to pay a bill.
But a find this hard to believe!! like why the fuck sould i have to pay for pole out of my taxes? He has no insurance and the accident was his 100% fault.
YES HE IS A DICK!! and alive.
I believe if the bike is registered and he is licensed, then it is covered.
Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon! Press the brake foot as you roll around the corners, and save the collapse and tie up.
Yep I have seen people get a bill to replace the pole...
Can't remember the price...
How much damage did he do with a 250...
An F250, yes I can understand that...

I tryed posting pic's but not sure how it works? The bike looks fucked, the forks are bent, subframe cracked, lots of cosmatel damage. etc etc...........
Surely it can't have done much damage...
I know of a GSXR750 that hit a pole at very high speed, killing the rider...
The pole is still there, just a few gouges out of it...
That cosmatel damage can be a real pain..Originally Posted by big j
Paging Sonik...
Aren't they something like 10-17 grand, depending on how big and how many lights it has?
Either way, not cheap...
One owner. Only driven gently on Sundays. Sold to best offer. First to see will buy. Reward offered for safe return. Coming soon to a cinema near you. Available for a limited time only.
My waterbed broke this morning. Oh, I don't have a waterbed. Bugger.
I knew someone who hit a light pole and he had to pay a couple of grand. I think your insurance will cover it though if you have any
Yep I also know someone who hit a light pole on Tonkin on the way to fly out of the country for good. They were sent a bill.
don't lose any sleep over it - agree to pay em back at $ 20 - a month - forever -
as long as you are - making an effort to repay -
there's not much anyone can do - to pineapple ya - after all ya can't get blood outta a stone
If the pole needs to be replaced or repaired yes the driver of the vehicle gets a bill, comprehensive insurance will cover it if you claim and they don't find you negligent.
The price varies tremendously as it includes labour and callout fees etc so night time, weekends and public holidays can effectively double or even triple that part of the overall cost.
Sonik may have some better answers being in the field.
Do you remember the good old days before the internet?
when arguments were only entered into by the physically or intellectually able.
As far as i know the top of light needed to fix, and someone one was called out to fix it.
thanks all!
Wait..wait..How the fuck does one crash into a traffic light pole rofl ?
Work to ride, and ride to work.
what sort of pole dude i put them all up from what i understand their pretty cheap they come in 3 bits aswell so if i car hits them they bunkle instead of falling but dude your mate must of been on the limiter to damage one with a 250... im guessing it was a suburban one?
As far i know he fell of his bike at burn beach traffic lights the bike hit the suburban light pole at 80kph he had come of at this stage,
He says the cops will not bill him for the pole because it was a accident he says he hit a water drain.
max hed probly get charged 2000$ and i mean thats if he completly broke the pole the most expensive poles are them ones that look like speghetti over great eastern hwy on the bridge 35k each....
You may be confusing traffic light pole with street light poles, or I amwooden utility poles are about $5000 installed, traffic light poles can be more labour intensive but the pole itself is cheaper if the lights can be salvaged, the 3 section street lighting poles are cheap enough too but crane hire and traffic control to get them put back up soon adds to the price.

They aren't cheap. not sure about traffic poles but a friend recently got a bill from western power for $7,700 for a wooden power pole..
Hopefully insurance covers it or your friend may be stuck paying it ogf for a few years!
Straight roads are for fast bikes - corners are for fast riders!
Had a mate drive into a big light pole and got a bill for $16989K
As he was uninsured,
I called BS so he showed me the bill, it was on a standard Western Power bill but had 16989K on it, my jaw just dropped! lol
He ended up paying $25 a week and will be paying it off for the rest of his life,
moral of the story,
always have insurance!
RR
^^^ works
Did a light pole on the FWY in a cage when on "p" plates ... ended up paying 20bucks a month till I got sick of it, and just rang them and paid it out...
light poles not so expensive, (1 section approx $1k about 15 years ago) traffic lights according to hearsay are sposed to be $$$$ (again depending on damage)
So wanted to go put a "property of" sign on it (well I paid for it didnt I?)
