You must use superior agents next time
Nah. Seriously, good to hear there was no injuries sustained.
I've been in only one accident. "Our" car was broadsided. A friend was driving and I was in the passenger's seat.
We'd actually passed about three accidents on the way over - always in fact doing the rubber-necking thing and once stopping to talk to the cop directing traffic.
So then we get to a wide left turn on a four-lane road. In the right lane are these boys fixing the back tire of a car with girls inside. We snigger over their predicament.
And then, of course, the accident.
So we were on a two-way side-street. Some guy was coming parallel to us and indicated with a turn signal that he'd be making a turn. So my friend thought it okay to run straight across his road and make the wide left. But somewhere in between, the turning guy decides not to turn, switches lanes, and then rams our car at the rear. I watched in slow motion as he broad-sided us, rocked back, and looked around. It was really odd.
Common sense says my friend was right. The old guy in the car messed up. The law says it's my friend's fault.
It was your friend's fault because he broadisded you in the rear?
But nobody was hurt, so it was never dealt with legally. My friend and the old guy both drove off looking embaressed and having exchanged information. I hear neither of them ever pursued the matter. There's still a massive dent in my friend's car over eight months later.
My car has a few small dents on it now- from my father backing it out of our really wierd garage (it's at a 90 degree angle to the driveay) like an incompetent.
