Default update:

CHP came (Highway Patrol) offered to take a report but informed me that it would go on my record as a traffic collision since the officer could not determine who is at fault. Pretty obvious to me, but whatever. Anyways, he runs plates and informs me its a trucking company based here in LA. Advises me to instead file a counter report at the station and contact my insurance agent. The car veers widly to the right and nice paint scratches and other broken front bits. I guess I am more concerned with the alignment than the grill, paint etc... Anyways, thanks all for your concern. Any thoughts on the suspension/alignment is welcome. Alot of irresponsible people on the highways.

Make sure that if you claim it with insurance that you get a diminished Value credit as well.

Default That makes no sense (Law officers please advise)

How could the officer not know who was "at fault"..? Did you (or someone else) climb onto a cement bag truck and toss bags onto the highway? Then did you slam into the bag(s) on purpose?


It sounds like a cut and dry case of an unsecured load and the trucking company is liable.

Am I missing something?

Default Similar thing with me when I got ran off the road.

My car is sitting out in a field all banged up and damamged and the cop wrote me a reckless driving ticket.

I guess the way he saw it: I drove off the road, put the car into a spin, slammed in to four to five 6" diameter fence posts with barbwire on purpose. Guess I was bored that day.
