Insurance companies




Grrrr. I had a fender bender yesterday. At first, the policeman told me it was my fault ... and after it was over I called one of my former students (who happens to be the assistant chief of police) to investigate. He did ... and lo and behold ... I wasn't at fault. The woman driving the car I hit was crossing a double yellow line to make a u-turn. There was no way I could have seen her ... so the re-written police report reflects that it was not my fault.




Well ... the woman's insurance company is going to fight me about it. What does that mean? You know, besides taking precious time out of my life to deal with this crap? It means I'll have to pay my $1000 deductible to get my vehicle fixed, and then wait for court so I can get my money back. I give everyone my solemn promise here ... if the other insurance company wants to fight, they're going to have to pay a WHOLE bunch more than what it costs to get it fixed.




Craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap!!

I'm sure they'll be happy that you have insurance. After all, your primos are ridin' around w/o insurance.
