this is what happens when...

people pay more attention to their phone, instead of their driving.. the idiot to my left, decided to make a right turn , 20 feet away from the intersection, from the FAR LEFT LANE, 5 lanes across. I was middle lane, going straight-speed limit at 45 miles per hour. he was on my left. accelerated moved into my lane with no blinker, SLAMMED on his brakes in front of me, hoping to get over in time to get all the way to the right turning lane. I was going speed limit. smashed on my breakss, saw I could not stop in time so I pulled the wheel as much as I could to the right, without hitting people next to me. unfortunately it was not enough and I still clipped his car. my car, in the pics, is 100% totalled. mecanic said it would take above 20 grand to fix. only the air bag that deployed, would cost 3-7 grand to replace and put in. . nobody got a ticket because Florida is a NO FAULT state. insurance companies are at it.. my insurance company, after many statements, pucs, pilule reports, witnesses, etc, decided that I was not at fault.. YOU THINK? ! he was too busy at his phone, that he didn't even see me when he moved lanes and slammed on his breaks. my 14 month old daughter was in the car with me. she's ok, but I'm out of a car. waiting on the idiots insurance company to see if they will pay the blue book value of my car. I hate idiots.. I'm out of a car, I need a new car seat.. I'm glad my daughter and I are ik, but still.. I hate idiot drivers .

it doesn't look like a lot of damage, but it is. the frame is completely fucked. that's a lot of money. the car was 16k bought in full 6 years ago. my dumb ass has pip, because I saw no point in paying full insurance for an old car.. well, now I know better..
