again, the law SUCKS! but we need it. LOL
u just need to know what to say and not give the whole truth if u want to win the "any rear enders is the giving drivers fault". sometimes if your too honest u will take it up the butt and maybe the guy that rear ended you gave a better response who knows.

that falls into knowing your laws. but yes, also what you say makes or breaks your fate. awhile i ago i was involved in an incident where i was going through shock and wasnt thinking right. i just wanted to get everyone to the hospital. so i told the copper exactly what happened....WRONG move. granted telling the truth is always the best with LEOs, but sometimes a skewed truth will be in your favor, either in a big amount or small

have i mentioned the law sucks? lol

Poor SWP

It's good that these cars have an amazing crumple zone to prevent injuries, and that's what matters the most.

Yeah I know that feeling. Like its been dirtied. I got sideswiped the first month I had the car and ever since then the paint never matched. Then when I was in my last accident I would've never taken the car back even if it wasnt totalled. I would've sold it instantly it was fixed Luckily, they totalled it.

If you have a bad feeling about it you may be right. But determine it on your instincts not mine or anyone elses ya know?

I guess what frustrates me most about all this is that there isn't a majority opinion or anything. I hate how I'm involved in some complicated scenario. It actually bugs the **** out of me. I'm a cut and dry kinda person
