Nissan 370Z Forum  

Z totalled in 7 weeks.

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

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.

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.

Yep. In most cases they won't even take the time to watch your video, much less change anything because of it. Frustrating, but that's how things work here

Turn your Z into a storm chasin tornado ready super vehicle like Reed Timmer, the unsexiest guy on the storm chasing front.
