If your OP is any indicator of how you drive generally I wouldn't be surprised if you're one of those people who drive like a madman and get mad at others when they are actually the ones in the wrong. | ||

Basically, the law expects that you always maintain enough distance with the car ahead so you don't rear-end them, regardless of how fast they stop. | ||

Quick google of price reveals: http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/showthread.php?t=160679 2k to fix the bumper is BS Difficult to justify your case unless you have an eye witness/the person you hit has a bad history with accidents. I have heard of people who purposely get involved in accidents for the insurance money. | ||

I have heard of people who purposely get involved in accidents for the insurance money. I still don't think he would have a case. No matter what way you look at it, the accident was 100% the OP's fault. It's not like a swoop-and-squat where the driver is forced into a crash and made to look like it is his/her fault. The OP can't really argue "Yeah sure, it's my fault that I wasn't paying attention to the road, but the other guy totally did it on purpose! He knew that I wouldn't be watching his car!" That's never gonna fly in court. On June 13 2011 05:33 djcube wrote: I think you have to reconsider how you're driving when you have like three car-related/careless driving related blogs in a year.

Especially silly is this post: On June 12 2011 16:36 kOre wrote: It's like I attract cops and problems when I'm in my car ... ugh When people "attract cops and problems" while driving, the most natural conclusion to me is that they are a bad driver... I understand that it sucks that you can lose thousands of dollars with a couple moments of inattention, but that is the nature of driving. I bet you'll pay attention to what's in front of you from now on at least. | ||

Even if someone is driving at 60 on the highway, you're supposed to maintain a safe enough distance to not hit them in the rear. Is this too hard to understand? I feel like people like you give people that like nice cars a bad reputation. | ||

Sigh ... the stupid ass cop quoted 2000 for a rear bumper replacement ONLY on the stupid ass Camry ... are these people fucking stupid? I could put on the rear bumper and it'd only cost 300 for the part ... if I (which will most likely happen) have to pay for this crap ... | ||

You caused the crash, and so it's on you to foot the bill for wherever the person gets their bumper fixed. If it's cheaper than 2000, you won't have to pay 2000... You really should stop trying to thrust the blame from yourself for all of this. It's not right to get all pissy at the cop and the person you hit for a situation that's entirely your fault. From the other person's point of view, they're probably mad that this other guy hit their car from behind and has the audacity to blame them for it... | ||

I know I'm at fault, the problem I have is, the bumper DOES NOT cost 2000 dollars to replace, and the cop as well as the GM place where the guy usually gets his car checked (why the fuck does he go to a GM place when he has a Nissan and Toyota?) both quoted it for that much. No way in hell am I paying that, fucking milkers. | ||
