so got i a wreck in the ford today. some dumb lady turned into me and to avoid a wreck i slamed my brakes on and ran off the road. in the process i trashed 2 wheels, knocked it out of alignment, and took a chunk out of the front bumper. then the lady leaves the scene. i call 911 then right after i get off the phone with them she comes back. says to me "did i hit you?". i say "no but you ran me into the median". she says "well i wasnt sure i knew i turned into you, then i saw you stop and get out the car, and i kept driving thinking it was okay, then i say you waving at me". i mumbled "yeah i was with a single finger lol". then about 5 minutes later the cop show up. asks me for my statement. not even halfway through min he just walks off i had to catch him to finish. he talks to her, and she tells him "i checked my mirrors and used my signal i didnt see him". the cop comes back to me and says she said "she didnt see you so no one is at fault since no contact was made", and he sent her off no ticket or nothing and now my mom is stuck with the repair bill . when we asked him if we could get her name so we could go to small claims he wouldnt give it to us. we got his badge number his superior will be getting a call later.

All more more reason to not swerve. Never leave the road. You would have been better swapping paint.

yep darn first reactions. right before i hit the curb i turned the wheel back strait to let her hit me after second thought but it was to late after that i will never swerve again

Yea, I would like it if somebody bought me a new front bumper.

lol jon

I hear ya, but basically the officer is viewed by the courts as one trained to make roadside judments as to if the evidence weighs giving a person a ticket. He heard both explanations and I assume from your post there were no other witnesses. Small claims will view it the same. Legally it'* a "wash". Welcome to no fault laws paid for the insurance lobby.

This is one of those moments that u wished you had a 6 ton 80s suburban. woulda cut right through that lady'* car!


No but in all seriousness, i'm glad everyones ok. hope you have a safer night.

well my 3 ton fusion i was driving woulda gut right through that crappy versa lol but the suburban would have just driven up the curb instead of dragging around lol

At least it wasn't the Old'*. I love them dearly.

dont have the olds anymore sold it beginning of january


well just got off the phone with a freind who is a cop the told us to file an agrievance as the cop gave us no accident report and didnt exchange insurance info as they are required to do that
