Thread: My Valentine's Day present... I Wrecked My Celica!

    Default My Valentine's Day present... I Wrecked My Celica!

    I wrecked my celica and I now need a good shop to get my car fixed. I'm going to need body work and work under the hood. Any recommendations will be appreciated.

    I've already heard yellowrivercollision is a great custom paint shop, I'll be giving them a call.

    Three cars infront of me slammed on they're brakes, hit each other one at a time then i came in last. The guy in the front has two stories why he slammed his brakes, none make sense to me.

    I might not be too upset if its totaled, getting the money for it might be better.

    the other cars hit each other first and you still got a ticket for following too close? If so, someone screwed up writing out that report and tickets....

    That's what I thought... the lady infront of me (which was the third car) hit the second car first then I hit her, i didn't push anyone into anyone else either. The cop gave her a ticket for "following to close" also. Didn't her "following to close" cause me to hit her?

    I just thought maybe that whenever you hit someone from behind no matter the circumstances the law says that if you were further away you would have had time to stop. it sux big time though.

    i'd fight it, it's bullshit. Whoever hit FIRST should be the one to recieve the ticket, even if you are behind them...

    No. Read up on the law. Unless they changed lanes in front of him at the last minute, he was following too closely. Idealy, you should follow far enough back that if I needed to immediately stop in front of you, I safely could w/o you hitting me.

Insurance can be a pain on those too, each one files suit against the person behind them then depending on the report whether it's reversed or not...
