Anyway, I have to call the insurance company now to see what happened. - Ca$h PS: She got a ticket for deviating from her lane... which means it HAS to be her fault, no matter what she tells her insurance agency, correct??? |

i am soooo glad you think about me cash...... if that is the way you get attention from girls, i feel sorry for your girlfriend. if the cops made the report and the report said that it was her fault, in NJ, at least, you would still have to pay the $500 deduct (or what ever yours would be) and your rates would go up. hopefully the state laws are different up there.

in PA, her company would have to pay 100% of the damages.

cash.... i feel bad for you about the accident man.... hope everything turns out good.... all these stories basically told me that i'd rather walk 30 mins to school (to and from) everyday than to drive my svx out, its almost becoming an occassional weekend car.
i've lived and drove in cali, chicago and madison, and i have to say that cali is the most... competitive driving state.... as in as long as you can keep up with the speed of traffic, most people are good drivers, chicago is full of rude drivers, which is a common characteristic of big ciites.... but madison... madison is a complete different story... people here drive.... passively aggressive like a granny... they seem functional in normal circumstances, but whenever there is something out of the norms of everyday driving condition... like a 'opps, i'm going to miss the turn if i don't change lanes now' then they start freaking out... my take on the issue is... if i'm going to miss the turn, then you know what? i'm going to miss that turn, and just try to turn on the next street and backtrack.... i know gas is expensive, but i much rather to be safe and keep the car intact than to pull something that i know can potentially cause hazard, even if its not my fault... big props to you tho, lately your posts have been more... ambient... |

Hey Subafan, can I come see your car? I want to borrow your bumper. >grin< Heheh.
The good news is I'll probably get my car back better than it was... since i have connections. - Ca$h |

hope you're not talking about my front bumper... sob.... my front was 'scratched' heavily as i was driving out of my garage like 2 weeks ago... remember the thread about the svx being too low? my back bumper is in better shape... but no, you may not borrow my bumper unless you promise to get me a real carbon fiber replacement =)
i'd love for people to see my svx... but i'm at the darn library all day long.... are you all coming out jan. 19? |

Ca$h,
if you're ever out driving and come across a silver Hummer H2 - pull your SVX to the side of the road immediately, get out of the car, and run like hell in the opposite direction. sorry to hear about your luck. WI drivers make PA drivers seem like Skip Barber racing school graduates. i don't think i could live there

wow... the silver impala looks extrememly like a... huge palm pilot?
just a side question... what do you mean by you were trying to overtake her, when you saw that she wanted to turn... did you speed up and try to go before she could turn? |

Based on his animation...
In a constricted space like that, your two choices for avoidance are speed up or slow down. Considering where SHE hit HIM, he would have to have managed HUGE acceleration to go from far enough behind for a stop to have been possible to the position where she hit him, or... they were gonna hit no matter what. If he had been coming up from behind but was still close enough to get past her, he could have slammed on his brakes and still would have hit her when she crossed his path. As a motorcyclist I know that there is almost always a way to anticipate other people's stupidity and avoid it, but sometimes there just isn't.
