You can't work from home for a while? And it takes so long for insurance & then there's the hassle of finding a new car.

Yeh it's a pain. He said he didn't have insurance and I'm wondering how I can check up on that.

I've cancelled ttomorrow's meetings, but next week's schedule is kind of hectic apart from Monday.

Here, rental car coverage is standard fare. Hope you get it all sorted out quickly, but more importantly that you're really okay physically.

The police should have details of insurance but oh.My. on the work schedule.

Hello friends
I had a car crash today. An elderly chap wasn't paying attention and crashed into me when I was stationary on stretch of road that is usually a fast-moving highway. There was a 5 car pile-up up ahead, so the traffic was backed up. He wasn't paying attention, in my rear view, I saw him looking down instead of looking ahead- maybe at the radio or ac or his phone? Lucky for the car in front of me, I always a leave a long gap between myself and the next car, and when I saw the car behind me was not stopping, I pressed hard on my brakes and didn't run into the next car. But my little car is a goner

lucky I'm OK - just a soft tissue neck injury I think, but I'll get myself properly checked over tomorrow.

I had that happen to me once and I almost got away. I was stopped and saw them coming too fast. I put the car in gear and tried to get onto the shoulder. I almost made it but they clipped my back end and threw me into a ditch. The only time I have ever experienced an air bag going off. It actually gave me chemical burns on my face. This was a circa 1991 air bag.

Like you I managed to protect everyone else in line by throwing them to the left when they hit me. We were all too close to each other when stopped. I always leave more space now.

Great driving on your part. So sorry you are paying the price for others not paying attention.
