OMG!! I am shaking I am SOOO MAD!!! Someone just hit us!!

[stedmansmommy]

Ok, I probably won't be more PO'd than I am right now for a long time to come!!!

My husband and I were at a stop light tonight (this was just about an hour ago) and were sitting there for a few seconds when all of a sudden someone FLYS up behind us and RAMS into the back of our SUV! My mom was with us and was in the back seat and of course we all had our seat belts on, but it threw her neck forward and now her neck is hurting her.

So I get out of the car STEAMING MAD (my husband was the one driving) and I go up to the car and there are 2 freaking TEENAGERS in the car just sitting there looking stupid like nothing even happened. Then I demanded to see their insurance and they started stuttering and getting nervous "acting" like they were trying to find it. They kept asking if they could move their car somewhere else and I told them NO...to stay put as you aren't supposed to move at the scene of an accident.

Well anyway, I walk back over to OUR car to see if my husband is on the cell phone calling 911, and of course he is...so I look back over to their car and see the car move just a tad...so I yell over to them, "What are you doing!?!??" and one girl sticks her head out the window, nervous as heck and said, "We're trying to find our insurance card" - well two seconds later the driver starts hauling @$$ around us and TAKES OFF!!!!!!! She saw me watching her and I yelled to my husband (and I know they heard me) GET THE LICENSE PLATE NUMBER!!!

So I grabbed my wallet and wrote down their license plate number on one of my blank checks I can't even believe I got it down since they were speeding away so fast, but I did I was just soooo mad and I knew that if I didn't write their license plate number down that that would be the end of it, nothing could be done.

So anyway, the cops came and blah blah blah...well they ran their license plate number and OF COURSE they are from out of town (about 5 hours away from where we live) so the cops obviously can't just go drive by their house or anything. So they are "looking" for the car - but of course they won't find the freaking thing!!

Those girls OBVIOUSLY didn't have insurance, which is why they left the scene of the accident, and who knows, they could have had drugs in the car or anything else. We have full coverage on our car and uninsured motorists, so my insurance will cover everything but I am still sooooooo steaming MAD!!! Hitting us is one thing, but fleeing the scene is an entirely different story and man am I P!$$ED!!!

The cop said, "Did you yell at 'em!! I hope you did!!" LOL - I said well I don't really "yell" but they could tell I was p!$$ed because of the tone in my voice - I won't lie, I was RUDE. lol....I just can't STAND stupid little teenagers like that (no offense to anyone on here who is a teenager ) that just say, "whatever" and take no responsibility for anything. It makes me SOOO MAD!

Anyway, sorry for rambling but I just HAD to vent to someone!

[stedmansmommy]

DUH...I forgot to even mention how our car is I'm so mad I'm not even worried about the car, all I can think about is those lying little kids that took off!!

Our bumper is dented in quite a bit, and the right light that shines on our license plate is crooked and pushed in, but other than that, everything is ok. No broken tail lights or anything....

[TootiesMom]

sounds like someone's mom or dad is going to KILL them when they find out!

and just FYI, in most states, there is a new law that requires vehicles to move out of the right of way of traffic when possible... but those kids just wanted to run, that was obvious!
I hope your mom is OK.

[AngieDoogles]

Yikes! I'm sorry that they got away like that. How horrible!! Maybe your local police will be able to contact the police in their town so at least they get into trouble with their parents... I sure hope something happens!

[alaskayorkie]

Wow, what a nightmare! You'd think a hit and run with possible injury would warrant more from the cops. Jeze. They should be talking to their parents right now! I hope your mother's OK and that these kids are caught. Oh, and GREAT work getting the license number.

[Dan & Corinne]

How's your mom doing? Whiplash can hurt for days and should be checked.
Geez! I'm mad for you! I'm just glad no one was seriously injured!

Bet those girls took one of their parents car and didn't tell them they were going so far away! Your insurance company will track them down. Mine did when I got hit and the driver took off - Except I chased him while on the phone with the cops! Ding dong drove home!

I sure hope they get SOMETHING from their mom and dad when they get home - and not to sound like I am "judging a book by it's cover", but by the looks of them, I doubt they will get anything done to them for what they did They just seemed like the kind of kids who had an "I don't give a crap" attitude - and if they are FIVE HOURS away from home, it kind of makes ya wonder about the parents

Anyway, I totally realised after I told them not to move that I shouldn't of done that, but I was just soooo angry, and for some reason had a GUT FEELING that they might try and take off - and sure enough, I was right We were in the far right lane, and there was no traffic to the right of us, so I told them not to move (realising afterwords that I shouldn't of) but I just didn't want to risk them "saying" that they were going to go park somewhere else, and then taking off. Looks like it didn't matter because they took off anyway!

Thanks Mike. I really wonder about the cops in this town, I tell you. He was very nice and polite, but STILL. I hope my mom is ok too. So far her neck just hurts "a little" (so she says) but my husband told her that unfortunately it will probably be even worse tomorrow. She is going to let us know and if it's not any better, or worse, to the doctor she goes! They hit us SO HARD, and she was in the back seat, so I can imagine how hard it jerked her neck - mine would be hurting too

Oh me too, thats the first thing the cop asked. He was very nice, but it just seems like they could be doing more

My husband said the exact same thing as you....our insurance company will do everything they can to try and find them. My husband was on the phone with the dispatcher and of course after they took off all she told him to do was get the license plate number, not chase them - but I told him I didn't care what she said, I told him to chase them anyway - because I knew the cops sure as hell wouldn't ever catch them! Of course by the time my husband FINALLY listened to me, another car pulled out in front of us (which put them BEHIND the car that hit us) so we couldn't see where they sped off to I was SO ticked off! We sooo could have caught them if we would have went after them as soon as they sped away from the scene.

I am just SO ANGRY!!

oh my goodness, I thought is this Brooke writing about a hit and run . . man, did not realize even teenagers have that kind of thinking I mean, I would just crawl inside my shell and wait for the cops but WOW, is all I can say about those KIDS . . . they are so much in big trouble! And even if you have full coverage, you better not get it from your Insurance. . . .get it out of theirs

I hope your mom is okay. Whiplash could stay on for a long time especially since your mom is no longer young. My mom was in an accident many, many moons away but to this day, it sometimes still hurt, despite going through major therapy . . . .

[LunasMomma]

Well, those kids should get in a ton of trouble, being that your Mom was injured. Leaving the scene of an accident with injuries is much more severe than a fender bender. It might be hard to prove who was driving though

I hope that your Mom isn't hurt too badly and that those kids get what's coming to them. Glad y'all are okay for the most part!

[ARCHIE]

I can't believe how layed back the police officer was
Did you yell at them he asked That's not your job it's his.
I hope these kids are caught and rebrimanded and owe you an
appology for leaving the scene of an accident. Sounds to me
these kids need some kind of punishment. Community service
might just do it.
I hope your Mom is ok and her neck is no longer hurting but
whip lash is very painful and can last for sometime.
Thank heavens it wasn't worse but it certainly was bad enough.

YES! I didn't even get time to PM you about it Des...I was so MAD (I still am!) that I just rushed right over and posted about - I had to vent to SOMEONE!

And you know, it's funny because what you said is exactly what I told my husband. If I EVER hit someone like that, regardless of whether I had insurance or not (which I'm SURE they didn't) - I would be WAY too scared to leave the scene of an accident - I'd much prefer to just be given the darn no insurance ticket rather than take the risk of being caught later on after leaving the scene of an accident! Although, as I was saying last night, they could have had other reasons for running. Maybe they had a warrant out for their arrest, maybe they had drugs in their car or had done drugs that night, WHO KNOWS. But hopefully, since I did get their plate number, they will end up being caught. Lord knows my insurance company is going to go everything in their power to find these girls...so HOPEFULLY at least the police department in the town that THEY are from will be on the lookout for them

I have yet to talk to my mom today, but am going to call her in just a little while to see how she is doing. And let me tell you, if her neck is REALLY messed up because of this, it is going to put a WHOLE NEW level of anger in me!!!!

Thanks girl It just makes me sooo angry!! I know these things happen all the time - although as I was saying, to hit us is one thing, but to just TAKE OFF like that.....omg, that makes me FURIOUS!! I didn't even get so much as an, "I'm sorry" from them or ANYTHING!

And I hope like HECK that they DO get into a ton of trouble for this - because it makes me even MORE angry to think of them getting away with it scott free I just talked to my insurance company a little while ago and they are working on finding them. They said that they will let me know what happens and are sending someone out today to look at my car and get an appraisal on the damage Even if they don't have insurance (I HIGHLY DOUBT they do) my Uninsured Motorist will pay for fixing my car, and if my mom is hurt and needs to see a doctor, well...I have medical coverage on my car insurance that will pay for that too. Darn kids - I wish they were right in front of my face...'cause boy do I have a few words for them!!!

I know... I'm sure he would have yelled at them had they of STUCK AROUND long enough for it! They were scared to death even of ME....so I can imagine they were pretty afraid of what would happen when the police officer got there.

I really do hope they are caught and I hope it scares the living daylights out of them, they deserve it. The officer did tell me that should they catch them, BECAUSE they left the scene of an accident, that it will be much MORE for them than "just a ticket" - which I kind of figured Plus, they will get a no insurance ticket on top of it all, should they not have any insurance, which is what I'm betting on. I just hope that they are able to find them...I will be so relieved!
