I have to admit, I hit someone s car once, while driving backwards off a parking lot.
He parked it directly in front of the exit, almost as if he was waiting for it.
Nevertheless, I searched for the owner of the shit piece of car, only to find out the fucking son of a bitch wanted to take everything out of it, he could get.
He wanted, I think 600 Eur, while the abomination he drove could not have been worth more than 500.
What I learned that day was
be more carefull when driving and don t let anything distract you
if you hit a car which is worth repairing, contact the owner and help him, but if you hit a piece of shit, most likely the owner is one too, so you better leave it.[/quote]
I did this once and it was crazy how it turned out.
I accidentally backed into a Lincoln Continental my last year of college at our basketball arena. I had nothing to write with or on, so I went inside and got a pen and paper from a lady in the stands. I came back and the car was gone. I kinda freaked out and went and got one of the cops that does security for all of the games. I filed the police report, but I must have failed to remember the license plate, because I never heard anything more from it.
Fast forward three years. I’m in a new town and one of my Dad’s college roommates happens to be a dentist in town, so I go to him for a checkup. There’s a nice Caddy with a very familiar license plate on it (the plate indicates he’s a doctor, initial, and where he may have gone to school). As soon as he comes in I ask him if he used to drive a Lincoln that got hit at U-Hall and he says, “yeah, I thought some bastard hit me and ran away, but then I got a call from the police saying you had filed a report with my plate and I figured, hey, I know that guy, and I’ve got a $0 deductible so no worries.” Funny how things work out sometimes…and how the heck do you rate up a policy with no deductible? I should have been a dentist.
