So sorry to hear. Cringed to see a Nismo that way.

At least it sounds like the Lady took responsibility. It could've been a lot worst if she tried to deny it. You probably have enough witnesses and other conditions to back you up, but it would've been a headache and lot more time to sort out.

I personally would suggest people to get dash cams. I have two in mine. A high quality one in the front, and a so-so quality one in the back. (Removed images to prevent a lengthy mod review, but really wanted to get more word out on dash cams)

It's one of those cases where it's better to "have and not need", than to "need and not have". This way, if it's the other party's fault, it'll be easily supported by your footage to show police and send to insurance. It'll also help others if you happen to catch an accident too. The $160 spent on this setup is well worth the ease of mind, imo. Especially for such nice cars.

If anyone is curious about my dash set up, please feel free to PM me. Hopefully I can show you pics through there without mod reviewing.

Again cop friend said he's used dash cam's more times against the driver with the cam then for the driver with the cam. It goes both ways.

Then that's the driver's fault. Like I said, providing it's not your fault, the dash will help you. If someone is constantly breaking the laws of the road, the problem isn't the dash cam, it's the driver.

That's true but I would still just stick to he said she said type of of thing in an a auto accident. But more power to ya.

I've been around too many people who prefer to lay blame on everyone but themselves. Guess it really depends on the environment. I've been burned before from people doing everything they can to avoid responsibility, which causes a very long and stressful insurance process. Even worse if the party at fault has a passenger who will side with him/her, so now they have a "witness" against your word which ended up with me losing a claim, once.

There are also incidents where road rage people would try to brake abruptly in front of you in an attempt to put you at fault for any collision, since majority of the time, the one causing the rear end is at fault. But if there was proof that the driver was intentionally trying to cause harm to you, you would have a stronger case.

Just food for thought.

I ride a motorcycle and work in a BSL-4 lab... I'll trade you worst nightmares.;)

I used to ride many many brands of motorcycles. Sold them all when I had kids. Trust me I understand.

I hear that a lot. I don't look forward to potentially explaining to a 16-year-old someday why I'm allowed to have a bike and he's not.:eekdance:

Well we now live in a police state theres a camera on every street light here in broward county fl. in the future the cops will have real time video on every law broken on the street as well as car wrecks.

Definitely sucks, but be thankful for no injuries.

Years back my beloved 280Z was totaled by an *** coming in the opposite direction. He tried to shoot a left turn in front of me and I could barely hit my brakes before impact.

I was okay, but my passenger did suffer from whiplash for awhile.

That's great, when that finally happens everywhere, and hopefully the accident (assuming not your fault) occurs precisely at a street light, in a camera angle that is beneficial to you.

Until they also add cameras in every stop sign, neighborhood intersection, entire freeway, and all other areas where an accident could occur (which is every feet of everywhere), I plan to rely on myself.

Sorry
 
I'm an older guy so naturally it seems to me people's attention and driving "skills" suck today. We have to be so careful in a Z and this garbage still happens. Makes my blood boil. Be careful with the insurance company. My daughter was in a similar accident and, although repairable, the insurance people insisted on totaling the car and some of their figures were based on parts that were not even damaged.

Hey gents, cars will be done by the 27th and taking it to a Poconos meet. I filed the police report that clearly states I had green through the intersection. The woman told her insurance I was under the influence and my headlights weren't on. Lol. Police report will set everything right.

There we go, the ugly side shows and she's trying not to take responsibility. Good thing you got the police report. Here's to hoping the rest goes smoothly.

Looking forward to see the fix, and insurance results.
