take care~

Just to clarify.....I didn't receive a ticket at all. The driver of the Honda that hit me did for failing to yield to me. I had the right of way, she had a yield sign and although I switched lanes to allow her to merge, she turned into me in a really bad attempt at a U-turn.

I'm the one who called the cops, so I would have been very PO'd if I wound up getting the ticket! :)

I've been really lucky in that regard, in that I try to give people lee way but sometimes they do incredibly stupid stuff too.

Sometimes it's true; no good deed goes unpunished. Especially when you act like a gent, yield, and someone decides to change their minds at the last minute.

Best response I've ever seen about everything.

Just an update......the insurance company has inspected the car and cut me a check yesterday. I just need to set up an appointment with the body shop to get it all done. I plan on taking a mini vacation to vegas in a couple of weeks, so I'll just have them fix it while I'm gone. I'll post pics of the "after" when it's finished.

Ha, it looks like Prelude hit you Mryaris.

Jem_hadar · 06-27-2009, 12:29 PM

Ouch. That hurts. Sorry to hear man.

Sorry to hear you got hit. I hope you're OK.

Back in February, my 2003 Hyundai Accent got hit from behind by a Dodge Truck. The whole rear end was smashed in and the insurance company declared it a total loss. I used the money to put a nice downpayment on my brand new Yaris. They also had a rebate available, plus a good rate from my credit union, I'm not paying much more for a new car than I was paying for the used Hyundai(which had been paid off 3 months before).

I had back and neck pain for over a month after the accident and had to see a doctor and a physical therapist, as well as take pain killers and muscle relaxers.

Hope you can get your Yaris fixed soon, good luck.
