So my wife is driving to work today in the 95 taurus sho that I just bought 3 weeks ago, to keep my gtp parked during the week. She is stopped at a 4 way stoplight, waiting to make a left. Her left arrow turns green, a protected left. She starts turning and right when she is almost done turning a woman driving a pt cruiser from the opposite direction is turning right, and turns right into my wife. My wife was turning into the right lane of a 2 lane road, so this old woman gets out of the car and starts saying that its my wifes fault because she turned into the right lane, and of course my wife is like no *****, your light is red, you have to yield the right of way. The cops come and tell the lady she is wrong but these assholes wouldn't even write her a ticket much less file a police report, saying that the damage wasn't enough. So now the passenger front fender and front wheel need to be replaced.(and the door won't open) She is saying please please don't call my insurance(I met my wife there). I say ok give me a couple hours. So I look up the cost of the wheel and fender its like $480. I add in the price of paint and labor and I tell her alright give me $1000 today and I won't call. She goes ballistic, and starts screaming at me so I hung up on her and called her insurance.(I've been screwed around like this twice before, once when someone canceled their insurance so they wouldn't pay 2 days later when I called them) I just got the damn car and its in such good condition for a 95...eerrrrrrr

I'm glad your wife is OK and nobody was hurt. Your wife is required by law to turn into the nearest lane, but it's still probably the other lady's fault because she should have seen your wife's car and stopped before she hit her.

Good call on checking prices before agreeing not to get insurance involved. With the cost of parts plus paint and labor it's rarely less than the deductible unless it's just a scratch.

gotta love worthless police work also, when I got my license it was required that in a 2 car accident where fault is determined a ticket is issued. The cop is not a body estimator, and can't make that determination, plus most insurance companies want a report

I say: She figures out a way to pay. Either cash or insurance. Or, Burn her house down. I'm not crazy, just tired of people getting away with everything and yourself getting the shaft! This crackhead hit my father in law a couple of months ago. She had a Fake verification, but no real insurance. Within 3 hrs, I knew Everything about her! She has no idea I exist.
Want me to be your lawer? With the insuranse company?

You scare me.

Oh, dont worry about that. Shes directionally challenged and it might take her a few months to actually follow directions to where you live. So as long as you know she's left heading your way, you got time.

Sucks about your SHO. I used to have one....body parts are expensive!!!!!!! good to know you got all here information!! Cops by law have to give a ticket. if there is damage to a vehicle! did they at least fill out a report? do you have their badge numbers? I would file a complaint.

hope things get better!!!! and if all else fails......sick GTPLuv on them. I sure things will go away really quick.

Man that blows. Back in the day we bought a brand new 96 Civic. A while down the road I paid off the loan. Not 2 months after paying off the loan, an out of state person hit the Civic and totalled it. The guy driving the car had an insurance card, that apparently had expired long ago. Even with police report we were never able to track him down. Fires me up just thinking about it. I hope the PT person has to pay. Good luck with it all.
