I agree with Teenweek...be happy its just $88 and get on with it. Its not the justice system...its just being a bit careless.

Only you would get that Rookie :thumbs-up:

No I think plenty of other people would get it too... :moonie:

Insurance company's are for the most part filled with assholes who look for ways to screw you (the consumer) anyway, shape or form. By letting you take the 50% fault they will now have another reason to charge you more money for premiums.

It's all about the money to them. None for you, more for them.

With such minor damage done. I would not have reported it and would have worked out something with the guy. Granted if nobody was around I might have been tempted to drive off.

Calling the cops usually proves to be a waste of time and energy.

And more importantly, you didn't hit the car when it was 15 feet away from you, you hit it at zero feet. Had you been going 5-8, and LOOKING WHERE YOU WERE GOING, I'd be good money you'd have seen the car and had plenty of time to stop.

*edit* Which leads to a question: Where has the sense of personal responsibility gone in this country? *edit*

No shit.
You live in a country where people will blame others for their own mishaps.
Doesn't matter if the guy behind you was fucking his 3 year old son in the ass. What he does or did is his business. Your business was to pay attention to what You were doing in your car. You weren't, So. the insurance company has every right to charge you. get over your woah is me bullshit and take responsibilty for being a shitty driver.

I agree with one. Shit happens, man up and deal with the consequences. And most importantly, LEARN HOW TO F00KING BACK UP (in your car)!!!11

It doesn't take much care to avoid hitting shit when you're backing up. I could understand if the car was moving, but it was PARKED. You hit a fucking car that wasn't moving, and you're looking for excuses as to how it's not your fault... TSK TSK!!!

The justice system works just fine, it's assholes like you that can't take responisibility for their own actions in whom I have lost all faith.

15-20 backing out of a spot???? ARE YOU NUTS?!

Well, I didn't see him. I guess some people are just not that smart and will endanger a child like that and leave a car in the fire zone. I guessed there wouldn't be a car there in the fire zone because it is ILLEGAL to park there. if he hadn't have parked there, this would have never happened. but since he did, he got away with a $50 fine for parking illegally and i am getting a $1000 hike in my insurance for the next 5 years..

Yeah for me! The innocent guy gets screwed in the ass again!! The father that endangers the life of his child and parks illegally gets away with it! YEAH FOR THE JUSTICE SYSTEM! :thumbs-up:

It is still your fault you hit him. Nothing about your story makes sense. We all know the other driver was wrong and should have gotten a ticket and he is an Asshole for leaving his kid in the car, but you should have not hit him. None of that matters. You were not paying attention and you hit him. That is all the insurance company needs to know. People park in fire lanes all the time, while leaving somone in the car, but I don't see other cars plowing into them.

If a black guy can saythis you have absolutely no right to bitch and moan. You are lucky you did not get a broomstick shoved up your ass.
