Default 3 accidents in one day...

Just want to get some advice regarding the three incidents i had on Sunday afternoon.

Accident No. 1 – Was in docklands turning left via a slip lane (infront of Police HQ), there were 4-5 cars before me and another 3 or so after me turning left. When it was my turn to go i went across the pedestrian crossing (there was a guy on a bike waiting at the crossing/ was not a bike path) and had to stop because of on coming traffic and just as i took off i saw in my side mirror that the guy on the bicycle had punched my car..... couldn't really do anything because i started driving off but i did end up reporting this to the police.

Accident No.2 – Curved one lane each way road going into St Kilda baths and this Merc four wheel drive decides to drive ½ in the oncoming lane, i horned but he didnt see so i swirved out of the way and scraped a pole, i saw the dude look back and put his foot down on the accelerator. I got his rego make and model and reported him to the police .

Don't know whether anything can be done with either of these, but im not finished yet....

Accident No.3 – On my way home from St.Kilda, stopped at a traffic light, few seconds later this guy in a Hyundai Getz decides to hit my ***.... the screw marks of his licence plate ripped my clear coat and theres a little dint as well. I only got the guys name, mobile number, make and model. however he said the car was not his.

I called him yesterday and he goes to me 'yeah just give me the car, bring it up to my brothers workshop and ill fix it for you'..... errr yeh i don't think so!

I'm just wondering whether having the guys (the drivers) name and phone number and rego (he was driving his friends car) is enough to make a claim with AAMI for it.... because IMO he won't pay up when i tell him i want to take it to my own panel beater.

Any thoughts?
