Love tapped.....by a woman

jaedub

It all happened when I was at a stop sign before leaving my gated community. I was minding my own business until....BOOM! A civic have rear ended me. Luckly it wasnt traveling too fast...maybe a roll. However, her(no surprise there) license plate bolt made a nice little mark on my rear bumper right above the fog light...with a side of damaged clear coat.....and a slight, barely noticable, dent. And yes, I got all of her personal info. (ill post the picture soon)

Now the question is......should I make this a big deal? Because I really dont want to go through the body work, insurance, etc. After all it wasnt a big crash or anything but I dont really want to let this pass by with ease. I just love my car too much to just simply have it all covered under my wing.

I was thinking of having her pay just for a rear bumper detailing, though the bolt mark will still be there.

Any suggestions????

first off i would like to appoligize for all woman drivers out there that arent ********. i have been told by many people (mostly guys) that i am the best woman driver they know.
But to stay on topic do u know anyone at a body shop that can take a look? maybe give u an idea of what it would cost to get the dent out and maybe the scratch? and if not what it would cost to have a bumper replaced? i know in NY that most insurances have a $500 deducatable so anything over that the lady wont have to pay. but i mean its your car and it wont hurt you at all to go through her insurance. honestly its your car and u spend way to much money on it to just let something go expecialy if it wasnt your fault... go get a quote from someone (including to replace the clear bra) and bring it to the lady. she may choose to pay out of pocket just to keep the insurance out of it.

you wont be making a big deal youll be doing something normal. hope that helped

I began an experiment the other day.

I drive along, and wait for someone to do something dumb as hell. Like cut off a semi, run a red-light, etc.

Then I pull up next to them and see if they are male or female.

I automatically refuse to count them if I know their gender before they piss me off, UNLESS they piss me off in a quantifiable way (driving below 50 on a 70mph road in the fast-lane, or running a redlight.) This eliminates bias.

So far 5 female, 2 males, have done dumb enough stuff that I have gotten pissed about it.

I have another friend that did this for a LONG time and has a bunch of data. Women DOMINATE the dumbass heap.

What's with all the hate on women?

turn it in to her insurance, no big deal... just life. maybe she'll learn to pay attention after her insurance rates go up.

I'd ask to destroy her cell phone and call it even.

ImportConvert

new smart phone = $100 with insurance. Not even at all.

would you behave differently if it was a big hairy dude?

ImportConvert

Been in a situation involving both a bitch and a "big hairy dude". Some dude's bitch hit me and I wasn't very pleasant toward either the big hairy dude, or his drunk bitch. Her cop daddy showed up and I didn't have anything to say to him either beyond "Yeah, she ran the light" as they crammed her into the back of a cruiser.

Skewered her insurance company best I could. Made friends with a lawyer and a chiropractor, as well.

OH, btw, one time a guy rammed my mustang GT at a gas-pump (long story, horse-trailer, etc.).

Anyway, I got out and did my damndest to bait him into throwing a punch. His wife came out of the gas station though and simmered him down. He later turned out to be okay, and even though his **** bargain-basement ghetto insurance company (Progressive) refused to cover my damage (I was parked...pumping fuel...he admitted full fault....) because it was on private property (Gas-station/trukstop just outside of Houston, the one with the plastic palm-trees for you TX natives), he cut me a check for the avg. of the 3 estimates I faxed him. Stand-up guy.

progressive did the same to me when a buy backed into me at a wal-mart parking lot. They really are the shittiest of the ****.

ImportConvert

Yep, and the guy who hit me owned a company. He had ALL his policies with them. Until the end of that day, when he canceled every policy he had with them.

Yeah i want to say in Texas if you get hit in a parking lot then you are sol. I want to say back around 2000 a friends mom was hit in her drivers side door by some old lady that couldnt see " the lady was actually waving hello before she ran into her". She was sol and had to file a claim with her insurance to fix it.

Why would you bait him into hitting you? Unless the guy is being a total douche and unwilling to work with you it's best to just be respectful in these situations and hold back the anger you probably feel. It usually works out better that way. Accidents are still just accidents.
