Got hit!

close. ding.

 

But ding me for doing what. What did I do

 

additional risk to your insurance company. and if you have enough not at fault accidents, you’re basically admitting you either drive in dangerous situations, or you don’t know how to drive defensively. either way you’re a greater risk than someone who doesn’t get into any accidents.

there’s a rating factor on policies called the “underwriting tier” and it basically dictates your future risk. if you become riskier your rate will likely go up.

 

Officially totaled. Still waiting to hear back on what I’ll get out of it. For now i decided to swap the wheels over to my 4runner

 

Dang I thought that right rear wheel was toast. Sorry about the truck

 

It’s bent for sure but I drive mostly in town So far holding air

 

Dang that’s a bummer

 

Did you already have this 2nd vehicle? That’s a nice thing to have ready to go!

 

Yea picked it up last year with from end damage. Paid 1500 bucks for it! Ended up repairing it and replaced the head gaskets and timing components while I was there

 

Great job! That’s awesome

 

Does anyone else notice our trucks don't take a hit very well?
I can't imagine someone coming out of a drive thru with a burrito shoved in his mouth going fast enough to total a truck.
Lots of threads here with the same story.

 

Yeah good point. My brand new truck was backed into by a DHL truck and I have almost 3k in damages

 

Shortly after I started driving I accidently from a stop idled/rolled my '94 Jeep Grand Cherokee into the back of some small econo car's trunk. I thought she had turned right at the stop light and I was looking left to try and see over the hill if anyone else was coming but she stopped when I wasn't looking so I rolled into her at <5 mph. She had a huge dent in her trunk, I felt so bad. But there was barely a scratch on the Jeep's bumper. I've never forgotten the lesson I learned that day though.
