I hit someone's car yesterday
I was leaving my neighborhood yesterday morning to go into Manhattan. I had enough time, but I drive like a cowgirl. There's a lot of traffic congestion in my area - buses, trucks, cars, school buses, etc. I have a (very bad) habit of zooming around a line of cars on their left to get to the front of the line. I have a sports car, so can fit into small openings. There were a couple of double parker's and everyone was going way too slow. I saw a clear line that I could just zoom through and leave them all behind to figure out the mess themselves. Unfortunately, the guy next to me on my right hit me, but it was really my fault because I was creating my own lane.
I pulled over to see if he was okay and to see what he wanted to do. He was really nice about it. He didn't want to involve my insurance company (city drivers rarely do - our rates go up, and we have a lot of fender benders). He has probably got insurance issues already. His front bumper had come loose, but he thought he could probably get it fixed for about $25.00. I gave him my name and phone number. He said he probably wouldn't even call me. I could have given him a fake name and number, but I couldn't do that. I did damage to his car and I really hate people who are hit and runners. It's so wrong. But, I so hope that he doesn't call!!! There's no way anyone is going to fix his bumper for $25.00 and I'm going to have to pay for it.

Sorry about your fender-bender. It sounds like you got off pretty cheaply even if he calls and it costs you a little bit more. I hate paying higher insurance rates. When my high school daughter backed into a car years ago we paid it off rather than turn it in too. Our rates would have gone sky high with her being in high school.
Glad that you're alright and it was just a little accident. You should have a deer run out in front of you!!! That's no fun!!!

I'm so glad everyone was alright Judy! I'm trying to picture you zooming around in a cute little sports car, lol!
 Anyway, I hope it doesn't end up costing a lot, but even if it does, it would be less than if your insurance rates had gone up...

How scary to have an accident, but glad everyone is okay. Hope your car wasn't hurt very much.
