Dude pulled out in front of me.

So I just washed my car right. This kinky bearded redneck in a 1981 rusted out Chevy Blazer with no tail lights pulls out of an alley and goes DIAGONAL through a parking lot, swerves out onto the main road and stops DEAD to pull into the next freakin' alley with no signal or break lights! Guess what? A car was coming out of that alley and he couldn't get into it. #@$% This is the outcome:

I forgot to mention what really made me mad. This guy gets out and says "What's your God* problem, buddy?" I looked at him and said "My problem is you." He goes: "What am I gonna do for a F*in vehicle?" And I say, "Look at mine." And he says, "You got money." YOU GOT MONEY! YOU GOT MONEY! I've known of this guy for years. Because I have a job and he don't, he says that to me. I said, "Set your a** down before I knock you through that window." He sat down and I walked to the store of that parking lot he went through and called the police who said it was MY FAULT. What a freakin' day!

The only thing hurt on the guy's Blazer was the trailer hitch that I pushed up under it with my car. He sued my insurance and got $5000 dollars for a truck that you couldn't even push start to begin with. My billet grills were worth more than his whole truck!

Bright side: Chevy's do last, I guess.

This is a perfect example of why I love "no-fault" insurance. It would make both parties insurance responsible for their vehicles only and take all the admin and legal costs out of the picture.

Why did the police say you were at fault? Sorry bout your car mate, it looks fucked.

I guess he gets the blame based primarily on the fact that the front of his car is wrecked out on the back of the other guys truck. Usually that means the guy in back was following too close. Without a third party witness to the erratic driving or the accident occuring in a place where its obvious the Blazer was to blame, then he gets the short end of the stick

In the state in which I live, the driver that rearends someone else is responsible due to a failure to maintain control of your vehicle law. Regardless of the cause of the accident, I was at fault. The guy didn't even have brake lights. How was I supposed to know he was stopping? The working man always gets it in the rear...even if the working man hits some lazy welfare case in the rear. *G*
