We've been getting some decent snow here and I seen a explorer in a ditch. Older mom and mid 20s son. I pull over and check on them. Ask if they need a tug.

I tell the guy once your front tires comes out of the ditch to slam on the brake and put it in park. I pull them out w ease and super slow. As in 2-3 mph. I see and feel him brake when he's out. I stop, into park, open door and SLAM. he put his into reverse to get out more after we stopped and smashed into my rear end. WTF.





So the bumper, tail gate and rear quarter are fucked. They were very sorry and gave me their ins card and exchanged info. I called his ins and they are writing it up. Man this blows and now I'm gonna have to have it at a body shop for a week and I don't have a second car.

well turns out the insurance card he gave me that showed him being effective with Progressive until April 2015 is not valid.

They declined the claim for he was not active with progressive at the time of the accident.

So I'm going to his house today after work to see if he accidently gave me the wrong insurance card or he is a scum bag. Either way Insurance is mandatory in NY so he should have it no matter what.
