How about you just move over & let them by. You have way better brakes then a lot of cars. If you had to stop fast you most likely would get an ass job from a tailgater.

You don't know what falling in love with a stripper can do to a man. Cheap tequila made my Thursday nights throughout college. Tequila Thursdays were some of the most eventful and forgetful nights haha

I had the church-bus this morning. Yes, I WILL refer to it as nimble. 2-lane curve over a bridge, and the car on the inside (where I eventually want to get to) is doing 55. I'm easily cruising 60, but to be nice I speed up with every intention of passing, signalling, then taking the lane. Goon suddenly speeds up to 60. I go to 65, 70, and then 75 with him sudden;y pacing me because he KNOWS I'm going to move over. Now, this was in the dark, before 5:45, and no other vehicles on this stretch of roadway. I signal and move, and he flashes his high beams. SUDDENLY, that frightens me and I have to check to make sure my brakes are in good working order. Again, I'm in the church bus, big white Ford Econoline 250, he was in some little Honda or Toyota that had seen better years.

I rounded the corner at the end of the road after traveling sub-speed limit, then punched those 8 little cylinders up to 75 again. He maintained 1/4 mile distance the rest of the way to his turn-off, even when I slowed way down.

Oh, you’re driving an ACTUAL church bus. I thought this was your derogatory term for the X5 or something....

If your campus is anything like ours, the campus police will write it up as a 50/50 parking lot accident and you'll get screwed by your insurance co.

I thought of that, I even thought of going to a bodyshop to figure out the exact color of the car and go from there.

Thankfully - the officer called me a few hours ago and said someone turned themselves in later in the day bc they were running late, and that the officer bought it. So I guess I'm in the clear? I still don't have the person's insurance info myself though, and won't until the report is ready.

I also do not know what to do in this situation

My daughter had this happen on campus as well. When you get the report, it should contain the other driver's info. We then just called their insurance company and filed a claim. They sent out an adjuster to look at it, told her to go and take it in for estimates at the body shop she uses, submit the claim, and they cut her a check.

Her incident was minor (rear bumper cover). We had an estimate done and they cut her a check for around $1,300. I found a bumper cover and painted it myself in my friends paint booth. Her car looked as good as it did before and she pocketed the $900 or so that was left over. I told her to look at it as compensation for her troubles!

Thanks - I've called her insurance earlier today and am going to a body shop (or three) to get quotes tomorrow/friday. The damage is a lot on mine, door, quarter panel and rear bumper, potentially a new tire as well after the plastic got jammed (it's still in there).

As a former auto claims adjuster this shit drove me up a wall. I would always ask businesses/municipalities who had these types of cameras why they purchased/continued to pay for them if they are completely useless. I would often get sent grainy videos of dark cars hitting something at night. Like WTF am I supposed to do with that?? Yes, the video shows a car hitting something... which we already knew based on the skid marks and damage at the scene. Other than that it provides no useful information, so I'm glad I waited a week for you to send me this "revealing" footage.

I constantly get these calls from detectives. "Yeah, I just got this CD, but when I put it in, nothing happens." Yesterday, this fancy-assed one, even had date/time/bank name/name of person who recorded it etched onto the top of the CD. On 2 different computers/OS, there was missing space oot of the total disk, but no files at all

I just like causing a ruckus sometimes. Everyone here on this board knows she is the best woman driver out there.
