Warning- Swedish Size Rant
I am sick and tired of people not taking responsibility for their actions!! On Saturday I was coming home from dropping off some oil at work and traveling in the left lane of a 3 lane road. I come within a half/quarter block of the light to turn to my house and from out of nowhere this young girl and her mom jump in front of me and I T-bone them in the rear driver door.
Circumstances:
1. Middle and right lanes backed up, I could not see any hole for anyone to get out.
2. THe driver was 15 years old with her mother in the car. Very inexperienced in a high traffic area.
3. Supposedly they got waved forward and drove across the equivalent of 3 lanes of traffic without being able to see oncoming cars.
4. I was about 30-40' away going 35mph (limit is 45)
5. Skid marks my tires left when I breaked were about 20ft. long
6. She was in an 89 Benz boat, and even after hitting her in my 94 spirit my car was drivable with no leaks. So I couldn't have hit her extremely hard.
7. Even the officer who wrote the report claimed that I had the right of way.
8. First thing the mom says when she gets out of the car is "I was driving", not Are You Ok, she just tried to protect her daughter so that they wouldn't be in trouble.
Now, after all that I talked to my insurance company and find out that they are filing claim saying that i was speeding, even though nothing in the police report says anything about me speeding, but does claim that they failed to yeild. I'm jus so mad right now that they aren't willing to take responsibility for their part of the accident I could scream. I've been in an accident before that was my fault- and I took responsibility for it. Why can't these people!>!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
