I was in an intersection turning left.Waiting for cars to pass the light turned red and cars kept coming through.I blasted my horn.And after the last car went through I started to turn that another car came and hit me. The guy had a gun on him and was younger. And said no hard feelings. Dude, I said you ran the red light. He goes, I will see you in court. It was yellow. I'm just kind of p***** because there's plenty of witnesses to sing.It wasn't my fault and the cops giving me a ticket for going through the red light.Also , because I was past the white line in the intersection.... Right now I'm trying to relax.So i'm having a shot up vodka but i'm pissed

(3,482 posts)drivers run red lights and stop signs hourly. Got hit a few years ago with injuries and guessing drivers don't consider consequences of their actions. Injuries, car repairs, insurance increases etc

(996 posts)About 2 weeks ago I was driving on the freeway and the guy to my right tried to merge into me. I swerved into the left lane but my car spun out and I hit the median at 65mph. The guy never stopped and my car was totaled so now I don't have a car. I got nothing back; the insurance covered nothing. Sometimes you just have to take the loss and be glad you're alive.

(22,035 posts)The insurance didn't cover a thing.
I paid and paid and ended up w/a used car that was a nightmare.
If you decide to get another car, buyer beware!
Glad you and the OP were not hurt!

Lots of state and local govt auctions use the site and there are a few others as well.

(6,255 posts)That is horrible. It's one thing to get hit, but then the bastard lies about it. I hope you got some names and numbers. I'm glad you were not injured, apparently.
