Not blaming the neighbor for the accident itself. Its just he made it seem like he really needed a ride when he didn't. He just made an excuse to get in my car. That's what I'm mad at. And in the intrum. Bang. But whatever. All I know is I'm never doing anyone a favor. There are parts to this neighbor story I can't discuss either right now. I will get into details after this is all over with.

I didn't get cited for running a stop. And he didn't get cited for speeding as far as I know. I have video proof I stopped. My car was rammed and thrown 150ft from his impact to me... if he did the speed limit which was 35mph. There would have been know way I would have ended so far from POI. I never made it past 15mph and immediately braked. He didn't brake or anything. He let the impact slow him down.

Sorry to hear about your situation; the main thing is you came out alright, it could have been worse. Sux it happened in a situation where you were running an errand for someone else and not something that would be YOUR normal day 2 day driving.

Question, wouldn't the passenger be suing the truck's insurance company and not yours since you clearly shouldn't be at fault on this one?

Just use this op to look at another Z or go after an alternative vehicle; main thing is that you and the passenger (d-bag that he is) came out alright.

You gonna post pics:pics:

Sorry to hear that Boricua! Glad u OK.

I didn't say you ran a stop sign. But when it comes to insurance companies they are gonna work out the costs. Without a citation to the truck for speeding it's not looking good for your case. They likely make it all your fault and raise your insurance.

agreed!

The OP did say he had video evidence, the investigator should be able to determine an approximate speed of the the truck both through the distance the Z was thrown, the severity of the damage inflicted, and potentially the video by doing a frame by frame analysis.

in for pics

they don't care enough to bother. trust me, I've been there.

Damn that sucks man, you didn't even get to go to any of the meets. At least you walked away from it.

When someone's car window shattered on my G on the freeway, there was a lot of stuff going through my head... why did I go that way? Why didn't I stop to get lunch before getting on the freeway? Etc, etc. **** can just happen and sometimes there's no logic in explaining why it happened at any given moment.

I'm sorry to hear that bro :shakes head:

:iagree: without a traffic ticket going to the other driver for speeding; the truck has the stronger case the Z coming on to the street must yield the right of way.

Thanx papo. The good thing though is the other people put something in the police rreport that can be proven wrong almost for sure. Things are looking a little up for me in that respect.

Thanks everybody for the love and support. Hopefully I will be back in a Z soon. Well not too soon I decided to just get the 2012 when the time comes.
