Sorry, I can't be bothered to navigate my 2-ton missile safely; I have a text to answer.

 

pocket the cash.

 

Some kid did that to me. except his lane wasn't ending. he was just really high and trying to get to taco bell and went to cut across the lane I was in so he didn't miss his entrance into the parking lot. To bad I was there to block him! But i gave him the cheapest estimate I got which was a little over 1,000. But with his money I Just went to glassworks unlimited and got me some nifty Fender Flares. for I think around 750!

 

you need to spend some time on the hwys around Dallas. We have all sorts. The worst part is about a third have no insurance.

 

Trust me, I've spent lots of time there (I was born in Dallas), I got loads of family there. I'm in Houston now and it's about the same, and about the same 1/3 don't have insurance..

 

Not at all.


6 lane road split by a median. Once you come to the stop light, the road narrows back down to a 4 lane split by a median. Traffic was heavy, and there was a police with blue lights already with someone on the right side of the road. I was in the right lane (in between the left lane and the lane that ends after the red light). Cars in front of me, cars to my left, and cars behind me. It's dark, and raining. That combined with blue lights, it's really hard to see. I was just minding my business staying with the flow of traffic when I see a car come up on me real fast and slam on brakes as we went by the cop with the blue lights ( this is about 50ft before the lane ends. He only had two options because he was traveling so fast. Either hit the cop car, or hit me. He hit me, and now his insurance pays.

 

A few weeks ago while heading south on 93 in NH, I had a guy in a older Volvo decide that the lane to his left was where he needed to be right then. I was traveling in that lane right next to him when he decided it. He didn't even turn his head before after or during his maneuver. I had to go into the thin shoulder off the fast lane and stand on my brakes in order not to hit him or the barrier. He wasn't even on the phone, both hands on the wheel and looking straight forward the whole time.

 

I bought my 09 with a very similar dent in the same exact place, gives me some insight as to how it got there . I was thinking about getting it pounded out and just buffing the paint transfer to make it "good enough".

 

im originally from ca ... and when i lived there some people rode the right lane till it ended while most people saw the sign, put on the blinker, and whoever was in the left lane saw that they werent gonna ride it till it ended and let em in.

Now I dont know how the OP's accident happened but one thing ive noticed in colorado, is unless whatever car rides the right lane till it ends has california or texas plates, people let em in.

 

That's how it is at the exit I get off to get home. A mile back it says "exit only" and people still wait to the last moment to merge back onto the highway. I just think they aren't paying attention.

 

Totally agree! Also, people need to put down their phones and drive! Most people already suck at driving without distractions, now they disasters waiting to happen. A lady on her cell once ran me off the road on a 5 lane hwy. She was coming from the on-ramp and just had to immediately take the speeding lane. I ended up on the left shoulder of the freeway.

 

FYI it costs over 3.5k to FIX my bedside (not replace). But that included replacing the bumper and the rear light as well.
