Glad to hear you guys are ok.

My very first brand new car was totalled by a drunk drivin' no insurance totin' illegal alien. I was stopped at a light and he plowed me from behind going about 40 mph, sending my car spinning across the intersection. To make a long story short, he tried to run and hide, but me and some bystanders were able to find him. He started throwin' punches, too, so he got a good thumpin' from my hockey stick and some other guys' flashlights. Then this big guy got in there and just sat on him until the cops came. They guy was so drunk he didn't even feel any of it.

Sitting at home after a bachelor dinner, phone rings and the wife says "I have some bad news. I was rearended in the truck (Mazda) and pushed clear across the intersection by a larger truck". Amazingly the guy had insurance and a driver's license (this is California?). Damage looks about the price of a new bumper but I'll bet it is in the thousands. Insurance companies (both) very accomadating at this point but mine wants me to pay the 200 deductible which they will "try" to get from the hitter. Go figure!

I think I would find another insurance company, It obviously wasnt her fault and the deductable should be waived and paid by the other party at fault.

Glad to hear you are both are ok.

Glad ya'll are not hurt. I got too many of these stories to tell, unfortunately. I have never caused an accident. Last year, though, I had two of my vehicles totaled. One of them, my motorcycle, for the fourth time (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) I hate stupid people....


Oh, but my insurance, USAA, rocks (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) They take good care of me. Farmers was the absolute worst to deal with as a victim of their client, in my personal experience

I'm glad that Joe and Scott are both uninjured! Also glad the the pedestrians did not get hurt and that Joe's truck is fixable. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif)

Welcome to Kawifornia! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)


My friend got t-boned on the passenger side of her F250 by an Ice Cream Truck that was backing out of a driveway. And then he took off! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) He hit her so hard that it cost over $800 damage. He came back and started yelling at her for bad driving. The cop that showed up said there was nothing he could do.
Later, she found out that the insurance information she got from the Ice Cream Truck drive was in Bankruptsy and no longer in business. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif)
It took here almost two years of taking this guy to court to get him to pay her $20 a month until he's paid off. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)
He calls her sometimes and tries to convince her to let him stop paying. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/slap.gif)

And to think that these are the trucks that roam around your neighborhood with "Slow" and "Watch for Children" (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

Wow, you guys are starting to scare me. I'm not sure if I want to drive anywhere in California. All this no insurance talk has me worried. I can only imagine the headache if I was to get into and accident down there, being from Canada. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif)

Does your insurance cover travel outside Canada?

If so, make sure you know the exact details of your policy, becasue anything can happen anywere! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)



Look forward to meeting you at the WCC!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif)

I'm sure that my insurance does cover out side of Canada, but I bet it would still be a major hassle to get everything sorted out. Dealing with insurance on a straight forward accident is bad enough. Plus, the only insurance place in Saskatchewan is government owned and operated, so there's lots of red tape and assorted crap to deal with. Socialism at it's best!
