Drunk hit my Chrysler
 

This guy clips a parked car and knocks his from right wheel out 100 yards from my house. He then bounces off the sidewalk where the wheel comes completely off and comes to rest 50 yards from my house. He continues to drive where he sideswipes my neighbour's parked car behind mine before he sideswipes mine from quarter panel to front (wrap around) bumber where his Explorer finally dies. I assume that the fuel cut-off kicked in on the initial impact because he couldn't start it up afterwards. Yes, he was trying to get away on 3 wheels!

I call the cops who arrest him within 2 minutes of talking to him for driving under the influence. Unfortunately for me he cannot produce proof of insurance, at that time, so it looks as if I have to pay the $300 deductible but on the up side he gets hit with driving without insurance.

And that's what happened to me last night!

Oh good its not your 7.


Secondly, I smell a lawsuit coming on...........Can you say 3rd Gen with settlement money?

Wow, I can be reimbursed for my loses beyond the deductible?

So, looks like I'll be needing $25k plus lawyer fees...





















;)

fuckin drunk drivers! they should all die

Most of them do

Here's some Irony - Isn't that a M.A.D.D. ribbon on his antenna? lol

You should be able to sue him for the cost of your repairs, legal fees, and rental car while yours is in the shop. Basically everything his insurance would have paid had he had it! Look into that!

Shit, that is a MADD ribbon!!

My insurance covers my repairs and the rental short of the $300 deductible. I'll be calling the police to check on his insurance. Seeing that his truck looked just about new, I am betting that he does have insurance. And since the onus is on him to provide proof the cops just charged him to give him some incentive, I think.

that MADD ribbon means nothing to a drunk father ;)

LOL I thought it was! What a clown...

If you can avoid having to use your insurance, all the better. My car was hit by a plow while in my driveway - caused $1700 in damage. The plow company went bankrupt 2 days later, and my insurance had to pay. The called it no-fault and I didn't even have to pay the deductable and my rates didn't go up.

Haha - but his wife will be pissed!

Of all the things I hate (and I hate a lot of things) drunk drivers are at the top.

'cept they ususally take innocents with them.

double post

yeah and sometimes they take out other and survive themselves, at which point I would have them killed. Screw this death row shit and the chair, rope is cheap at the home depot....string those bastards up! Problem solved

In fact, they really do kill other people more often than themselves - their relaxed state, and the fact they often t-bone other cars running lights/stops, means they on the whole give worse than they get. :mad:

he definitely has insurance... everything will be covered. Go get yourself a 3rd gen :)

:werd:

just didnt feel like getting into the whole relaxed thing

that shit is funny and sad all at the same time...lol, MADD ribbon!
:eek:

and how wasted WAS the guy?? i can't believe he his wheel fell off, lol

He didn't stumble around or slur his speach. And his wheel didn't fall off, it was torn off after the second hit. That second hit on the curb took a chunk of concrete!

His judgement was definately not up to par since he was sitting in his 3 wheel, lopsided sportcute trying to start it up, so that he could grind his getaway in a shower of sparks!

Sounds funny coming from a Texan after seeing a picture in the paper of Greg Biffle with 2 six shooters celebrating his win in Texas. Maybe using rope has to do with enjoying the moment a bit longer, sort off like longer lasting gum, maybe.

j/k

Your driveway is private property and the rules change at that point. Mine was parked on a public street to avoid the bird poop from the birds in the tree next to my driveway. The good news is that I don't have any bird poop on my car but on the other hand I have $3500 damage to the left side of the car.

The deductible was covered by the plow company's insurance I would think just like mine will be when I call the cops tomorrow to get his insurance specifics.

Sorry about your Chrysler.

Nice catch spotting the MADD ribbon!

Just got off the phone with the cop shop and he does have insurance.

So I have no out of pocket expenses, just the inconvenience of taken my car to the body shop. The loaner I have is a similar model to mine so my 4 year old's booster seat fits without adjustment and I know where all the knobs and buttons are without having to take my eyes off the road. On the other hand, I can't find it after work at night because it's the wrong colour!
