    Fender Bender Advice

    I never though this would happen to me.

    Well I was on my way back home from work tonight when a red golf gti rolled back and hit the front of my car. We were waiting at a red light and we were at an incline. Well my horn doesn't work so I just helplessy sat there flashing my brights not having enough time to put it in reverse. Bam I get hit once. She pulls up, rolls back AGAIN and hits me twice.

    So I get out of the car and she tries to tell me that I hit her. So I tell her she must be joking and that she simply must have been in neutral and rolled down the small incline and hit my car. She keeps saying that I hit her and she couldn't believe it. So I was getting frustrated and told her "look I'm 19 and you are how old?(30's) Own up to your mistakes". This isn't my fault so quit trying to make it seem like it is. Then she goes off telling me that she had the Ebrake on so she couldn't roll back. Then she says she was IN GEAR and there was no way she could roll back. Which makes no sense because she would have stalled.

    Anyways, I call the police because I'm not sure what to do and she keeps tryna put the blame on me. They say they can't come out cus no ones injured and shes being compliant with the insurance papers.

    The whole time she had slurred speech and was being reallly really slow when talking. I thought she was tired or just "bummed" and didn't know what to say but I later realized she was drunk. BUT that was when I left and had time to clear my head.
    So 20 minutes later I get a voicemail from her, still drunk, saying how shes so sorry she acted that way with me.

    Today I brought it up asking if she was under the influence and she said no not at all. Of course...
    Now she wants to give me 500 to fix the car in cash.
    She keeps telling me that my insurance will go up and she doesn't want that to happen to me. She is also saying that her girlfriend (yes I knew it she is a dyke) is an insurance agent and that I wont get any money.
    Now she is telling me " I just want to see quotes so don't worry you will get the money. Really my situation is at a place where I can be paralized when I get my surgery so I honestly have other bigger issues to worry about. I will give you th emoney she is just emotional about everything"

    I swear this chick is crazy.:x

    I feel like she doesn't have a license or proper insurance. I did see her insurance and license but it was dark. Maybe it was expired who knows.
    It just seems sketch shes trying to be "so nice to me"
    And shes going on about how shes gonna get surgery for all her illnesses shes been having and she might be paralyzed after so she just wants to be a good person and she has other things to worry about.

    I'm hesitant on going through with the insurance because no matter how "nice" she is shes gonna tell them I rear ended her . Obviously. Pisses me off

    Turn her in to your insurance. Yours wont go up hers will.

    She probably will fuck you over


    Do you have uninsured motorist coverage? Just in case she doesnt have any.

      If you're in an accident and there is a dispute about who is at fault you should ALWAYS get the police involved. If you've got a police statement saying the other person is at fault, you won't have any problems at all getting insurance to take care of things.

      Where this might be a problem for you, is that the front of your car is damaged, so it might look like you rear ended someone. All it would take is for her to say that you hit her, not the other way round and when the cops/insurance see the damage on the front, they'll say you're at fault.

      If one car rear ends the other, the car behind is always at fault. Of course I'm not saying it's your fault, just that I wouldn't have let that bitch go anywhere until I had a copper sign off that she was at fault.

          No witnesses. I called some friends from work down the street and they too thought she was drunk. They arrived after the impact though. Maybe if I go to court I could use them as a witness saying she was under the influence.
          I wish I had actually connected the dots and told the cops on the phone she was intoxicated. I was just so mad I didn't think about it.

          I went down to the police station and made an accident report today. Hopefully the insurance will see that Im trying to fight my case.

                Nah, seriously, I'm sorry for you. Luckily I've never been in your situation, so I have no advice. All I can say is that sucks, and I hope you can fix your sweet 2002.
