Did he actually have insurance and a valid lic?

If so consider yourself very lucky, in my experience guys who don't want to give you this stuff usually don't have it anyway......

How's your neck?

It might stiffen up over the next couple of days......

One of our local club members had a similar event with a taxi that hit him, only this guy just pulled around him and vamoosed.....

A guy in the car behind the cab saw it all and got the cab's plate and number and gave it to my buddy, otherwise it would have been all on his dime......the local police are still looking for the guy, seems his cab lic wasn't valid either.

 

Stories like this makes me wonder how the human race has made it as far as we have

Sorry to hear your troubles

I'd have a hard time being reasonable after request #2 for lic and insurance

 

It can truely be scary out there these days. Actually driving seems to be the last thing on most people's minds.

Sorry to hear that, goaljnky...some people.

Ya know I was told long ago that automobiles would be able to fly themselves by the year 2000, and here we are 10 years in and the car companies keep adding more and more distractions for the drivers to consume and all the while they forgot about the damned autopilot. :incazzato:

 

I would have just shot him. One less ******* in the world, I'd i'd be out on good behavior in 3 years.

Sorry to hear about your troubles. Hope there are no scratches on the bumper.

 

A scratch on the bumper is NOT worth someone's life, no matter how you feel about them.......so please, a little perspective......

Calling the gendarmes was the right thing to do, I'd have called them after the second request was avoided. Sometimes people are not reasonable......or even rational, you never know what you're gonna get. The Popo are (supposedly) trained to deal with such folks, let them earn their pay.....

 

I notice that most folks on their comute to work, or the store or where ever seem to be driving cars that are scratched and dinged. I believe that most have a "comuter car" and they could care less if they ding and dent your door in the parking lot. Most just don't care in the least.

I call it the "hearding complex". You can park in the middle of nowhere and when you come back there will be a car on each side of you with 20 empty spaces all around. I might take it a bit too far, but if I can not find a space I think might be safe, I'll go someplace else. I have no problem with that, but my wife..............well, you get the picture.

Sorry to hear of your misadventure. I can't understand how so many people pay no attention to the road.

 

had a similar situation about a year and a half ago. luckily, was before I got my Mini. It was a Honda so I wasn't too upset about a scratched bumper. But the guy that hit me was driving a buddies car and didn't have his own insurance. took me 10 sec to realize I needed the popo to stand in on this one. He started asking me if it was alright for his buddy to fix my bumper. RED FLAG!

 

:shocked:

Not even sure where to begin responding to your thread Goaljnky......

First, I am so sick of people not paying attention to their driving! I almost got broadsided by some C-class (you can figure out what I mean but that) after she blew a stop sign in her minivan because she was too busy yapping on her cell phone. Freakin' pay attention people!!!!!!!

Second- getting religious on you????? WTF. I would have been livid. Your god will not protect you at that point.

Third- shut the $*& up and just him your info!!!! People, once they screw up don't want to take responsibility for it. And just because he drives a POS pedophile van doesn't mean you don't care about your nice car.

Fourth- you should have called homeland security on his ass

Sorry, just ranting.
I do hope your car is ok

 

HA. can you image the look on his face. Hey! Give me your info, or I call Homeland Security! Priceless!

 

Reason 1:

An extreme lack of driver training on the roads in the U.S. thanks to the dumbing down of America.

Reason 2:

Because of the vast number of people who don't speak English on the roads here. (a lot of which are not here legally anyhow -- at least in GA)

Reason 3:

Because nobody makes them. The only thing the cops are out for is revenue collection, so DUI and speeding are the primary "pullovers" anymore.
