Got hit. Again.

I always new the odds were that I would get nailed by a dumb twit yapping on her phone with her stupid azz pocket puppy in her lap. Yesterday my odds ran out. Stupid twit side swiped me.

Words safe for use on this site do not convey my utter disgust and contempt for this twit. Obviously I would have preferred to use a different vowel in twit.

Here is the other driver. Sadly the only thing that changed from the time she hit me is the fact that she got out of the car. The dog and the phone are still in same exact positions as at the time of the accident:

When I called my insurance company to verify her information their reply was: "Oh yes, she is who she claims she is. We know her well. She tends to get into a lot of accidents."

The only solace I have is knowing that the dog took a dump in her car. Watched her try to clean it up sometime later.

The tire circle marks do sorta fit the theme of the MINI.

Glad there were no injuries.

Sorry to hear about it.

So, any indication she was texting at the time she hit you? They are passing strict law here locally about texting while driving and they can supena phone records to add additional violations to the accident.

Sorry to hear about the crash. Clearly but her insurance companies response this was not an accident! They need to drop her a$$ from the insurance before someone really gets hurt.

Well, the accident took place with both of us making a left from a double left turn lane. As we were sitting at the light she was holding the dog and talking on the phone. Why did I notice that? Because she was not in either of the left turn lanes. She was sitting across the double yellow line in the oncoming traffic lane.

As the left turn arrow turned green, I proceeded to make my turn from the number two left turn lane into the number 2 lane in the direction of travel. She proceeded to make a left turn into the same lane I was in (I.E. across the number one lane and into the number 2 lane).

When she got out of the car she says to me: "Sir you hit me, I was changing lanes because I was going to make a right on the next block".

Sad thing is...

they'll be more than happy to just jack her rates and keep cashing checks. And by her lifestyle, I'm guessing she'll just pay and keep doing what she does.

did a cop show up? Then she might have gotten into more trouble.... But with the budgets out there now, it's more likely that you'd get "I didn't see it so I can't site her for it" and no one would bother to take the time to see what she was doing on her cell at the time of the accident.... Everyone is on furlough!

Glad you're OK Jerry....

Oh, I called the cops. At first she refused to give me her information. She scribbled it down on a piece of paper and wanted me to accept that. Obviously, I insisted on seeing the actual DL and insurance card. Some of the nuggets out of her mouth:

"I don't have to let you see my drivers license and insurance information" - oh really sweat heart? So how do I know you are not lying

"I don't have to give you information if the damage is less then $20,000. The cops told me that last time I was in an accident"

"I can show you a ticket I just got and I wasn't written up for not having insurance, which proves that my insurance is valid" - a response to me saying I will wait for the cops to make a ruling on her insurance card with the expiration date of November of last year.

Eventually, after talking with my insurance I let her go. About an hour later I got a call from LAPD asking if I was still at the scene of an accident.
