Thank goodness I was able to steer away from the car in front of me or (as the policeman informed me) that would have been my fault and responsibility even though I was pushed by the pick up.
I called the police and since he didn't see the accident happen he said he couldn't do anything!! Can you believe that? It was a hispanic man with no insurance that hit me. I kept saying but, he doesn't have insurance you CAN give him a ticket for that! After about the 3rd of 4th time of me insisting he finally gave him one (or at least pretended to). Of course the man gave a false address and my insurance company had to pay for everything, resulting in my rates going up even though it wasn't my fault.
Somethings just aren't fair. I am just glad you didn't have any worse injuries. But believe me, I can sure understand you being mad!!! |
The people who hit us were also hispanic, and I betcha money they had NO insurance either! Otherwise, they would have showed it to me, and wouldn't of fled the scene!
But oh my goodness....are you KIDDING me!?!??!
Now in that situation, I think I would have had smoke pouring out of my ears!!
The police officer saying that he couldn't DO ANYTHING....omg, now THAT is just INSANE!
What the heck are you supposed to do, PLAN when these things are going to happen, pick up your cell phone and CALL the cops and tell them to come WATCH!
Oh that just makes me furious.
And for it to be YOUR fault for hitting the car in front of you (should it have occurred) because of someone that hit YOU from the back is just completely crazy! When I read that my mouth just dropped. That is COMPLETELY and ENTIRELY out if your control!!
OMG...just INSANE! And for YOU to have to TELL her officer to give that guy a ticket for having NO INSURANCE...OMG, are you SERIOUS!?!? What is WRONG with these cops! Do they just
not give a crap or WHAT!!
Oh man, reading what you just posted makes me even more TICKED OFF that I already am!
It just totally frustrates me how the "laws" here in Texas work sometimes!
