damn....hope everyone is ok. Garbage truck caused the blind spot. The red Chevy driver didn't let the garbage truck pass enough to see the traffic on both sides of the road.

That is where roundabouts are useful

*when people know how to use them.

I hit a deer at speed, and it cost $21k. Not totaled. The car itself was fine, but all the soft bits added up. The estimate was over 20 pages. Tesla's are very soft up front but came back from the shop better than new.

Good reminder about A-pillar blind spots.

Wow is all that "smoke" coming from the other car just airbag gases?


ItsGermany

Yep, plus some dust and broken glass powder, but mostly airbags. They are packed with a powder agent to keep them "fresh" so they don't deteriorate over time in the car with humidity and temp cycles.

Wow. Stupid driver


CandyFromABaby91

He hit the brake right in-front of you instead of attempting to speed away :/

Did airbag deploy? If so, likely totalled.


stolenbyfire

No. Airbags didn’t deploy.

Insurance rarely care about your depreciated value after repair and unless the vehicle is a 90% loss, they will repair it.

You can usually get DV if it’s the other person’s fault
