smashed my 15 stang

Somehow I doubt the other car was going 10 mph. Human nature is to deflect circumstances to make yourself appear as a victim.

That a way to stay classy......



Glad to hear that you're OK, car can be replaced.

Are you ok? It looks like someones head hit the windshield? Car is definitely a write off, but a lot of if can be sold for parts.

Maybe

ETA: This is a similar incident, just pointing it out as it seems to be a common thing

This happened in NC yesterday as well, no charges were filed, yet. The idiot 10mph driver was hit TWICE

No, just another incident, sorry for the confusion

I have seen a new Jeep Liberty that looked a lot worse than this after a very similar accident get fixed. $14K repair of a $24K car. Given the Mustang is a $30K car (EB) it's very possible this is not a total. Though if it were mine I'd be wishing for the write-off.

Glad everyone walked away. Was just in Houston this weekend, driving in the rain with the crazies, and I do understand how this could happen.

You might be right. It may not be a total depending on how they value,pp premium eco depending on options is well over 30 closer to 40 .
I will say these things are very squirelly on pp tires in the rain

This made my day :lol:... Thank god I live 2 miles away from work, any bad weather on the weekends and my baby will be staying at home... but that's why I have a truck as well.

I wrecked my 2007 the SAME WAY. I was coming over a hill, and the person in front of me made a U turn in the road and I couldn't slow down. It was raining at the time, so it was pronounced no ones fault....however, the way Arkansas's law works, is that if you rear-end someone......90% of the time its your insurance that is going to pay for it.

Wow...sorry to hear. Glad you are ok.

Is the driver being charged so you're covered with your insurance? I think if you can prove she didn't have her lights on and was going that slow it will be her fault.

Glad everyone is ok! Not to be a d$%K (I know, every time someone says that they are about to be a d$%k) but where is the hill? That looks incredibly flat. I am not saying the story isn't true at all so please no flames. Just curious.

 

[FelixGER]

Built like a tank indeed! Sorry for your loss!

I wonder how you will be able to prove the 10 mph and no lights thing. surely, his rear lights were destroyed and all you can see from the impact ist Delta V. Police could say the one you crashed in drove 65 and you drove 120.

Fun fact: In Germany the one who hits a car in the rear is always causer, no matter what.

It's that way in many states too. Even when not clear cut case where no witnesses it's all he said she said, going to come down to the fact that one car hit another regardless of circumstances. Contributory negligence with witnesses/confession/black box data, but that doesn't necessarily absolve other driver.

Yah I was going to say something like this but there are exceptions...I mean if he is going the speed limit and the car in front of him was not visible and was going at a rate of speed unacceptable for the road with no lights, then he might have a case. But the problem is you have to have the proof or witnesses to back you up.

One time, a guy pulled out in front of my mother at a intersection where she had the right of way (no stop for her) at night. When he came over to see how she was, he tried to reach in the car and turn off her lights to try to get out of the accident. Lets say the cops didn't approve of that.
