Bash, Fix, Repeat..
Just wrecked the T. Not bad but still, i work hard to keep that truck looking nice and then some idiot pulls out and hits me!!
We were headed south on 45 feeder in the left lane, some lady pulls out of the mall and goes all the way over to my lane. I did everything i could to keep from hitting her, i was on the brake so hard my butt wasn't in the seat anymore. my pass bumper and wheel/tire hit her drivers side rear door and i went up on the curb on the left trying to avoid her.. we pull into the next parking lot, and she jumps out claiming it was my fault, and that i had my turn signal on.. so she thinks i am going to be making a right turn, on one of the busiest roads around here, from the left lane!!
the cops were very cool about it, and i talked them into giving her a citation instead of just blue forms because i didnt want to have to pay my deductible because of her ignorance. they tried to write me a ticket for abusive language because when i got out of the truck i said "what the F$%^ was that!!". we told the cop, yea, i said it, but colorful language was spoken by both parties and they dropped it. the cop even told me, he doesn't know why people act like that, guess they are just thin skinned.
webster PD wrote them a citation for failure to yield right of way, and sent us on our way.
the crappy part is i didnt have my latest insurance card with me, and got a citation for that, but all i have to do is fax them a copy of the new one and thats done.
looks like i will need the bumper end repainted, 2 new tires, (dont want to take chances) and maybe a new wheel. hopefully they will paint my hood as well.
