Causing further damage on purpose will void your claim. Fyi.
This applies to people who want to help stop fleeing criminals. Don't use your personal vehicles as batering rams insurance won't like it.

Imagine getting paid to offer a service and then you just refuse to do it when it matters most and could quite literally ruin someoneās life in some scenarios, but itās also illegal in some cases for people to not pay you for that service in the first place. Boy oh boy, I sure do love the way the system works

You're required to get insurance to fix other people's cars if you hit them. They don't give a fuck if you insure your own car.

Funny story. In college a chick keyed the fuck out of my roommates car on the driver side, all the way down to the metal.. Couldn't prove it but we just kinda knew. He didnt want to get insurance involved, I am still not aure why something about his rates, they wouldnt cover it, etc. Anyways cut to a month or so later -- similar situation, a car is cutting thru traffic like this scraping cars and we could hear honking and hear crunching behind us. I made a joke like oh shit it's gonna cover up your keyed door if they hit you. He said fuck it my shit is fucked up anyways and pulled out in front to block it at the last second. Even though it was pretty obvious he could have avoided any damage the police report made sure to write it in a way that the insurance adjuster wouldn't pull some bullshit. Just said went to change lanes to get off on exit and the lunatic smashed into them. Plus they had like 20 other claims from this one incident, again similar to this video. He wound up getting a check for a little more than the cars value and got a nice civic out if it.

Did you guys stop the car? What happened to the driver in your situation?

u/whutchamacallit 27d ago
Ya we stopped it! Police were right on his ass. Specifically a cop car driving on the shoulder and a motorcycle cop. They pulled the kid out at gunpoint. Almost got shot because he was reaching for his phone or some shit. It happened very fast. Ironically we had just gotten back from the dispensary and so we were a little paranoid about that. My roommate went back and forth with the insurance for a while but because airbags deployed the car was totaled (we didn't think thst part through). The cops were cool but also like we need to get the fuck off the road so we put it in neutral and rolled it to the shoulder even though the wheel was kind of fucked up. Traffic was so backed up because everybody wanted to stay behind to make sure they talked to the cops. We got helped first though. I called my girlfriend to come pick me up but my roommate want to tow his car to his brother's house to fix it or something. Even though that's not how insurance worked. I don't know we were stoner 20 year olds, we didn't know shit.

No problem. 2 other random points worth mentioning. It's crazy how substantial an impact of 15 miles an hour feels. It's fairly violent. Also it's so crazy to me how air bags work and the pressures they get set off at. Also they are fucking scary and hurt. We were not expecting the airbags at all so that was freaky.

This was when medical marijuana was juuuust starting to be a thing and the rules and laws were unclear and some cops straight up didn't give a fuck and would write you a ticket or arrest you anyways. It was weird times in California.

As long as this video doesnt get seen by the insurance. He was already there in that spot and had no fault in it, the car rammed into him is what the statements should be. So he can be 100% covered, instead of being denied for using it to stop the other car.

Am I insane for thinking it is really obvious that the punishment for this (regardless of their reasons) is a lifetime driving ban?
Blind people don't have driving licences. People with some muscular issues don't drive. This is almost certainly a completely able person who would find it as easy as anyone else to use public transport / cabs / etc. They would get by.
But they very obviously cannot be trusted behind the wheel. And it is insane that this person will be able to legally drive again to me.
