    Thats shows us nothing. How are you going to get a lawyer if you can't even get insurance. Sounds like you fucked up, know you fucked up, but want to do some mental gymnastics and have this not be your fault....

    Looks like a legal lane to me. I would need a satellite view for better judgement.

    lets lets get this right...

    guy drops 30k(?) on a truck

    drives without insurance. (dick)

    turns left into traffic without right of way (slick)

    causes accident.

    i hope the cops were called. Both I and the significant other were hit by uninsured motorists. accidents happen and they suck, but it really fuckin sucks when you have to pay out of your own pocket to fix shit that some dumbfuck caused.

    sorry(not) for the mini rant.

    The car that hit me was actually a Tesla, from what I know they record footage before an accident and save it. I'm not sure how that will work out but when the shit hits the fan this will probably be the deciding evidence

    I think OP is in California based on the idiot bitch who hit him and the double double from in n out in his avatar. Background looks socal possibly San Diego or LA.

    My useful two cents besides everyone berating him is check out the shops in tj (Tijuana) for cheaper labor. Good luck and yes get insurance

    The good news is that unless the other driver is a complete moron and just goes her merry way, the OP will get to pay out of pocket to repair two vehicles.

    Sounds like you're about to pay for a tesla to get fixed out of pocket.

    What don't you understand about the fact it doesn't fucking matter? The oncoming driver had the right of way. Traffic in motion basically ALWAYS has the right of way. You pulled into her lane of travel, probably in a place where there was no chance for her to see you because you appeared out from in front of two other lanes of traffic.

    You don't have insurance, and you don't know how to drive. You're what makes the roads a nightmare. Own your actions and buy a new truck because yours probably has a fucked up frame. Learn to drive, and get insurance.

    sure looks like she had right of way and was exercising that right... unlike the uninsured guy turning left across 3 lanes of traffic without right of way

    Man I hope your truck is paid for and you are not making payments still. It sucks that you didn't have insurance but life goes on. I agree with everyone take your truck in and have it checked before you do anything. I hope it works out for you buddy.

    Yes, to prove you pulled out in front of her.

    Edit: I'm sorry OP, I'll stop being a dick, but man up and take responsibility for your mistake.

    From the looks of the picture, there's an 818 area code there, so more than likely LA.

    the other guy can sue him in small claims court but that might be a waste of time if he has no assets to go after. most likely, the tesla owner has uninsured motorist coverage and his insurance covers the repairs to his car.
