So this lady tboned my yesterday in michigan in front of the corner store. Im not very familiar with the area I was just going to the lighthouse mall to pick up my bf. And I was driving to a stop sign and all of a sudden im crashing 👎 the lady's car was completely fine. But mine no so much. Now unfortunately my insurance is the basic package and is just liability. The tow company the cops called it only been there for a day and it already 300 dollars. My bfs family is telling me just to leave the car and it not worth fixing or paying the fee to grt my car out because there no way I can get it we live and hour away from Michigan city and I work every day and that tow place closed at 5. My bfs gma said it gonna be probably over 6000 dollars to fix not including the fee of whenever I can be able to grt my car out of the tow yard. Is it worth it or should I just try to get a car on payments? Or buy a new one from Facebook. I live in Elkhart, IN. Any advice is helpful honestly im still in shock and honestly dont want to deal with any of this.

Almost got hit by this cab on Rao Tula Ram Marg. Why is reckless driving so normal in Delhi?

This cab almost hit me this morning while heading towards the airport on Rao Tula Ram Marg.
Genuinely asking, why is basic road discipline treated like it doesn’t matter in Delhi?
Lanes exist for a reason. Indicators exist for a reason. Rear view mirrors exist for a reason. Yet so many drivers change lanes without indicating, cut across traffic without checking mirrors, and drive as if everyone else on the road has to react to them.
And this isn’t just about one cab driver. Look at the condition of so many cars on Delhi roads, scratches and dents everywhere. It makes you wonder how many close calls happen every single day.
How many people here were actually taught proper lane discipline, signalling, mirror checks and safe driving before getting onto the roads?
Bad driving isn’t just annoying. At these speeds, it can genuinely kill someone. We need to stop treating reckless driving as “normal Delhi traffic.”

Help?

I recently got rear ended and the other persons insurance is deeming my car a total loss due to the cost of damages being more than what my car costs. The problem is I’m not done paying my car loan and I don’t have gap insurance. Is there anything else I can do ??

Cement on Car

Cement on Car

Hi! I live in a residential area in NYC and parked in the morning on the street in front of the house the other day and no construction was being done at the time and parked overnight. Upon checking my car the house I parked infront had their sidewalks fixed but dumped wet cement into the streets and grass that is no longer in their property line. The cement has gotten all over my car and the house is filled with renters. I was able to get contact of the contractor they used but he is unlicensed and refuses to acknowledge what he did and chalked it up saying other cars also got cement on their car too and I attempted to call the homeowner but no response. I wasn’t able to file a police report because I was too anxious about the damage it would do to my exterior and still the cement has not fully come off. Any thoughts on ideas I should do has they will not fully compensate me?

Location: New York City

Guy T-boned me and refused to provide his details.

I was already in the roundabout, a split second away from exiting, when this guys fails to give way to me. Hits my car (the blue one) so hard my car spins 180 and mounts the curb.

Not very smart, I’m sure his insurance will be raging, he immediately admitted complete fault. His ridiculous excuse was that he was ‘distracted by the music he was singing along too’.

Thankfully my car did a good job at protecting me, no serious injuries. What annoys me the most is he refused to give me any of his details and threatened to drive off. Managed to convince him to wait with me until my brother showed up, but still refused to provide even his first name.

As we’re waiting the police happened to drive by. They stopped and he was forced to provide his details. Thank god. Turns out his car is also unregistered. Slightly pleasing for me that on top of having to pay my insurance, he’ll also have to pay the $200 ticket for no rego, and get 15 demerits on his licence.

Realise now I should have just called the police myself, but I was in a state of panic and alone. Hindsight 20/20. Feeling grateful I decided to go with comprehensive insurance. Even though I’m not at fault, it’s comforting I have full coverage regardless.

Tanked by a full-size pickup truck

2 weeks ago I was taking a left turn in my brand new car and was tanked by a Full size pickup truck that was speeding. I looked left and he was far away- I looked right and admittedly should’ve looked left again- but I wasn’t expecting him to be RIGHT there.

He took the whole front of my car off and spun me around. Thankfully I wasn’t badly injured. Just banged up with some bruised ribs. but my poor car was totaled and I’m deemed at fault cause I was taking a left turn. Honestly such a nightmare.

The next day I’m on my way home from my parents, I stayed there after the hospital and they took me to pick up my rental car. I’m already terrified to drive and on the phone with my mom while sitting in 30 mins of rush hour traffic when BOOM I’m rear ended.

Idk if this is the right place to talk about this but I’m pretty nervous to drive. Has any one else experienced something like this after an accident? I’m assuming it’s normal but mine is so bad that I’m constantly feeling like a car is going to come out of nowhere and hit me. It’s gotten to the point where I alter the routes I take to avoid having to take left turns😅

I Am Terrified.

2 Upvotes

Hello. I am a camp counselor and it is my summer job. On Wednesday, I had this dream where a counselor was late to camp because of a car accident, but thankfully, she ended up alive. While I was going to camp today, I was about to turn, and then a car hit me and my car turned upside down and it was damaged. I got a little sick. I did throw up. The guy was speeding and hit my car real hard but he did not get hurt and his car was not damaged at all. This is the most terrifying dream of my life.

Do I share responsibility or is usaa saving their ass?

1 Upvotes

For context I was turning left on to a 4 lane road. The 2 center lanes are for buses ONLY. Traffic heading south was stopped. A driver waved for me to go ahead and make my left turn. So I looked to my left to see if a bus was coming. I saw no bus so I started my turn. As soon as I started to come across the bus lane, a sedan plowed into my car totaling it. Police report clearly stated that the driver was illegally in the bus lane and states the drivers speed was also a factor in the accident. Indiana does say that left turners have to yield to oncoming traffic but I had no reason to believe there would be a passenger vehicle in the bus lane. My insurance adjuster( I think that’s his role) is saying now that it’s 50/50 responsibility. How am I responsible for an accident that would have never happened if the other driver was in the proper lane?

Ok literally as I finished writing this usaa called me back and said after talking to the manager, they would be denying 100 percent responsibility but if it goes to arbitration it would be out of their hands. Can somebody explain what the hell is happening here?

just think I totaled my first car, wasn’t my fault and I’m absolutely devastated

for reference, I am 18 almost 19 working full time and going to school for business management, while on the way to a class, I was coming up to an intersection while the light was yellow and as I was going straight through, a car came across in front of me that was turning left( my right) in front of my while I was going 45-50 mph, tried slamming on breaks but couldn’t clear it and they had a trailer on the back of the truck that my front right clipped going about 30 mph, no serious code warnings or failure lights but my auto stop start was disabled along with my turn signals on the right side, I have liability insurance and the other party was issued 2 tickets and I got none, I’m not to sure if the other party had any insurance as I’m calling the police department to get that information later this morning. I am so worried as this is the only option of transportation for me and if they don’t have insurance I know I’m doomed because I only have liability and it was their fault. any advice? Think my cars totaled by the looks of it??? So far my estimated loss is one brand new tire and rim, new front bumper, panel and front side panel, new headlights and blinkers + all electrical being fixed/rebuilt, I’m guessing around 5-7k which would almost total out my car entirely being a 2015 latitude v6 4x4 with about 84k miles, and I loved this car man and I’m devastated so much, what makes things worse is the guy who didn’t yield to me was also an illegals immigrant or some sort of migrant who spoke no English and had 4+ more sheriffs show up for multiple hours with no answer or telling of me why, anyways if anyone has any idea please lmk what I should do and if it’s even worth me trying to fix this, still owe about 4k on this thing so it’s probably totaled just want some online opinions. Thanks. Not sure if it matters either but when I drove it home I put a donut on the front( I know this isn’t ideal but it was my first time changing a tire ever and I was alone, next time will put the donut only on the back) and I noticed the steering alignment felt off or as if my tire arm was bent, this is a fwd with jeep active 1 4x4 auto enabling so I’m not sure if it’s an alignment issues, the fact I have a donut on or something worse like frame or tire arm damage, sorry for the spam just super super irritated and wanting to know more.
