Daaaaaaannnnng, again

No fault here in Ontario, your not at fault your insurance pays to fix it and it costs you nothing, and rates do not go up.

She is charged with an accident her insurance goes up even if they do not pay. IF she wants her vehicle fixed she pays her deductible, that is if she has collison insurance.

 

Glad to hear it worked out.

Maybe it's just my imagination or maybe it because I'm getting older but it sure seems to me like there are a lot more bad drivers on the road these days. Hope you don't have to pay higher insurance rates now Carl because of the bad driving of others.

Well it happened again.

First of all we have a good sized fire in our 'back yard', our neighbors ginseng straw covering caught fire from our garbage fire, cost was about $1000.00 for firetrucks and then some lots more for the ginseng equipment.

Next Marca drives the Saab right into the back corner of this guy that cut her off,,, taught him a lesson for sure, but the insurance has decided to write the car off, but won't give me enough to buy me another one, so more money needed. This has been in the works for the last two weeks and I think they are getting a little fed up with me,,,,,,,,,

SO NOW comes

#3

Coming home today from picking up some meat, I approach the intersection just down the road from us. It is normally controlled by a stop light, you know the kind, when the one side shows red the other side is supposed to show green, and then some monkey switches them just as you approach???? well that's the kind of light we have here,,,,, except that the monkey went on a break, and so left the lights in the flashing mode,,,, some people might think the lights are broke at this point,,, but I know better, I've had to deal with this monkey before, and I've had a talk to the traffic department about him,, but so far, he's still got the job.

And today, he took a break,,, right at 'rush hour' I mean, the intersection was full. So as I approached and noticed that he was monkeying around, I slowed down,, I didn't trust him, nor did I trust the drivers who were all trying to get home before the husband ate up all the goodies left over from last night. I was cautious all right, I was only doing about 30 kph or about 20 mph when I entered the intersection. I had flashing amber and the cross traffic had flashing red. Now when you have a flashing red, according to the rule book you must stop and proceed only when the way is clear,,,, but not today, because off to my left is a lady who decides that now it is her turn to go, so off she goes, pedal to the medal, (remember what her husband could be up to?) and so decides that since she is first she'll make it and I'll just have to stop!!!!!! but not today, the monkey is my witness, I tried to stop alright, but I got her attention real fast by doing serious damage to the front corner of her vehicle first. In the process the front of our meat van also suffered some damage that needs to be repaired,,, almost the whole front fell off, turns out it's all plastic,,, ouch,,,, almost like my bike.

Now I wonder what the insurance company is going to say,,,,, bet they won't fool with me anymore,, it keeps getting bigger and more expensive.

Everybody is Ok, just need to have a little body work on the front of my van, and the lady should buy a tank.

 

Sounds like a lotta drama!
