Moped vs BMW
Tags: None
Got a call from my wife today telling me she just was in a car accident.
As she was turning left, a woman on a moped crashed into the car.
Luckcily she wasn't hurt, only some damage to the car, which I hope the insewerance will cover. (Close up of the damage at the bottom)
When my wife checked on the woman to see if she was hurt, she said that she was fine, and that she didn't have to call for emergency services.
As my wife called the police to come over to make an accident report for the insurance, the lady picked up her moped and took off, the witnesses who saw the accident also took off once they learned that my wife was calling the police...
Unfortunately she only got a partial of the license plate.
What's even more 'fun', is the fact that a couple of years ago our government in their infinite wisdom decided that it was time to reward byciclists and moped drivers for their total disregard of even the most basic traffic laws, by making the driver of a car always liable for the damages in case of an accident with a bicycle/moped. Unless you can proof that they pretty much threw themselves in front of your car on purpose.
