Well I was on my third night of the easiest job in the world (pizza delivery) and i was pulling into a driveway when as soon as i started to turn int oa driveway a van comes flying up over ah ill and hits me. the van didnt even move at all but it threw my car liek 50 ft and spun me in teh complete opposite direction. the lady behind me had to reverse her car because i was spinning/flying at her.

im pretty sure the van had to be speeding to do that much damage to me but sicne i "failed to yield" i am at fault.

i wasnt issued a citation but this is now the 3rd car i have totalled it being my fault and my 4th car accident.

its really getitng old, i used to be a fast driver but i finally settled down and it turns out that i wreck my car going 5mph frown.gif

It pisses me off that because I am 18 the cop basically talked to me for 30 seconds then went over and had a great time laughin it up with the old man that hit me.

Check out my parting out of the car in the for sale forum, i really need cash to have a car to get back and forth to school in.

I have to buy a beater for now but dammit, I WILL have another 6gc..

My friends tell me its allrgith and ill be fine, but dammit, my car was the only thing good in my life right now, sitting in it just brightened my day and i always bragged to people about how beautiful my car was and how awesome it was to drive. bleh.

Ill still read here and post probably, because I sitll want to learn about cars wink.gif

I know a girl that was hit while she was walking across the street. she is now in a wheel chair. You feel bad about driving slow and still suffering the results of a crash, think about the people who suffer badly from car accidents who werent even driving at all.

Challenge fault. I'm sure the police report notes how far your car was thrown, and if he was coming up over a hill where you couldn't see him than it wasn't fail to yield on your part.

Listen, 5 mph. is yeilding, going the speed limit and not slowing down it not yielding, so thats bull crap. Shid's ideas are the right ones to go with also.
And one quick question, not to mean anything "why were you using your wonderful 6gc for a pizza delivery car?"

My best wishes to you, good luck.

Don't think that the cop has the final word kid. Take pictures of the area, showing the hill with no visibility, show the skid marks of how far you were thrown, just explain everything to the judge. If it was a truely legitimate accident that had no fault on your part, which it sounds like it was, then the judge will take your ticket away..and possibly get his insurance to pay for it if you can convince him that the other guy was speeding. good luck and don't let the po get you down.

i'd do what DOGE just said, man that really sucks, try to challenge it, and explain your story and get photo's and stuff like DOGE said. good luck with gettin a beater and soon getting another 6gc.
