Old man hit my new truck..smh!

I hate white heads who still drive. One almost backed into me the other day despite me laying on the horn the whole time. I was able to gun it before he hit me. I feel for you though ><

 

Along with every 16 to 69 year old.

 

Let's not stereotype. Some elderly drivers are still quite capable. However, I'm a firm believer in strict testing of all drivers once they hit about 70 years of age. I've seen some claims for accidents in my job that would make you shake your head so much you might get whiplash. One woman said she didn't realize she couldn't just turn left on a round green light without checking oncoming traffic. One man said he had been driving that road for years and never knew there was a stop sign there. Another hit the same car three times at a red light.

When I worked in underwriting, we'd often ask an agent to talk to the family about taking away the license of an elderly family member who had multiple "silly" accidents in a short period of time.

 

Looks like he was backing out and turned right in a big arc and his front left went backwards under the bumper corner, unless he only thought he was backing up. In that case, he ran straight into your car and he should hang the keys up for good.

 

Time for an ARB Bumper

 

So he had a expired registration and expired insurance card? I'd call the police and let them cite him...and maybe that would force him to stop driving...but I'm also mean about stuff like that

 

I investigate accidents for a living. His passenger side would be close to the OPs truck when backing. There is no way that driver's side front corner hit his truck while backing. He had finished backing, was pulling forward, thought he had enough room to clear the corner of the truck but miscalculated. Either way, he's at fault so it's a moot point.

 

Usaa blows in my experience.

 

over half the people on the roads have expired insurance cards with them. Mostly because people are lazy but also because a lot of people get their cards electronically these days. It's not a problem to have an expired card. It is a problem to have expired insurance.

 

aww man that sucks

 

I work for another company but USAA is consistently rated highest by JD Powers and by their own customers.

 

Well, I was actually referring to the individuals who have no business being behind the wheel any longer.

 

Interesting. I know a few body shops that won't do work for USAA. but hope all goes well for the OP

 

we're

 

Okay... that would be a percentage from every age group but yes, the elderly have a higher percentage than anyone other than the new drivers under the age of 19.

 

prejudice against old people is stupid, you will be old someday....duh

 

bravo

 

Most everybody starts in diaper and ends in a diaper. A little more tolerance please.

 

My Mother is 82 and drives better than 99% of the people on the road.
