My Yaris was bruised today... :-(
Driving in San Fran today in the Yaris. Was driving along on 19th when this idiot in a black Silverado pickup pulling a flatbed U-Haul races by on my right way too fast and cuts in front of me... would have been find if he hadn't been pulling a trailer, but instead the rear corner of the trailer caught the front bumper of my Yaris. :-( My second accident ever, ~19 years of driving (and I drive a lot), and again, completely unavoidable.
He took off, passing a bunch of other people the same way, didn't stop until he saw me on the phone and trying to get his license plate number. 911 operator indicated that I should just let him go since he tried to run, you never know. He was a complete jerk about it, said it was my fault since I was "going too slow and impeding traffic"... yeah, just like all of those other cars he passed that way. I'm afraid that I'll get stuck with the deductible if he changes his story (911 didn't send police since he stopped and there were no injuries)... there's really no way to prove that he changed lanes into me, even though he even admitted it saying "I forgot I had that f-- trailer." On the positive side, another MM hatch passed me on the way home on Hwy 80 and was giving me thumbs up. :-) If it was one of you, sorry I wasn't too enthusiastic, I was still upset about my incident. |
