My SVT got hit - 08/22/06 03:08 AM
Going to meet some friends tonight and a 17 year old girl with 2 other youngins and little baby decided to make a left hand turn into me. Maybe if I had slammed the brakes we wouldn't have hit, but I don't do that because if she had stopped I may have hit her dead on. I swerved to the right (I was in the left lane) so she only clipped the bumper. Just a little scratch.
I almost threw it into reverse right there, but instead hit first did a quick U turn and flew into the parking lot right behind her. I was of course ready to start yelling but got out checked the damage which wasn't much and proceeded to talk to her. Told her it will probably be about $200 for a shop to fix and she can pay me cash or I can call the cops for an accident report. She wanted the cops called so that's what I did.
She ended up getting a failure to yeild ticket and I get the report friday and I'll get a quote and probably just pocket what ever her insurance pays.
