My wife was rear-ended at 680/4; she was at a complete stop when the guy hit her at 60 MPH. The guy that hit her totaled at least two out of the three cars involved and he only had state minimums.I'm in Northern CA and this happened to me..and Honda. I was leasing a Honda Fit EV and Honda included the auto insurance in the lease payment. I was rear ended on West Bound I-80 near Northgate Blvd. Damage was over $30,000 and took almost 4 months for repair. I was hoping Honda would just total the car, but to my surprise, they decided to have it repaired. Rumor was, Honda wanted it back on the road because it was a compliance car.
In any case, I got a call from the insurance company (State Farm) of the guy who hit me about 9 months later .... months after I had already turned the car back in to Honda. He wanted me to sign something to close the file of the case. He then told me, the guy who hit me only carried the state minimum $5,000 insurance for property damage. Honda elected to eat the cost and not pursue legal action against the guy who hit me to recover the $25,000 balance for the repairs. I personally now suspect there are a lot of people driving around with the bare minimum amount of insurance.
Certainly agree with all that. Oh yes of course. I was on board with it not being intentional as soon as I saw the video. It's sad that there are people in the world that just charge off and don't take responsibility for their actions.So are you totally on board with the explanation? The one that came from a person that broke the law running the stop sign, running from the scene of the accident? And failing to tell the OP (plenty of chances, he's right next door, and any failed attempt would have been recorded by the Nest LOL)? Yeah, they are surely 100% trustworthy...... I do agree that there is always another possibility
Agreed. I’m also not entire sure it was legally parked, but the camera angle makes it tough to tell. It’s 30 feet minimum from a Stop Sign (some places are more - but as a general rule it’s 30 feet).
Not that this has anything to do with the situation here, but I’d never be parked in that location, not even for 60 seconds.
What's the situation with the driver? Moved from Florida? Single parent? Super curious.... I agree, seems to back up to see the sign to see what cross street was or something, and forgot the Tesla in the blind spot. Still it's the worst type of offense... hit and run.... I'd turn her in.
While she didn't intend to hit your car according to her conversation with you, she did intentionally ignore taking responsibility for it like she should have. Like you said if you hadn't had the camera and approached her it sounds doubtful she would owned up to it. Kind of bad to be in a situation where your neighbor damages your property and doesn't say anything.
So what did you say to the police? Does she realize she committed hit and run damage? If she wasn't going to fess up to property damage what if she had hit a pedestrian walking by your car. I'd say even less likelihood she would have spoken up...just like she didn't this time.
How does any State let someone own and operate a vehicle with only $5K coverage for something like this?
So she definitely is hot and single... and OP wants to be new father. Classic con game... it’s called the cuckhold shuffle.... hit a car, play the victim , next thing you know you have a kid and are paying for a 529... I’ve seen it a hundred times
Can the OP please explain this madness and why you let her off the hook? Was she a supermodel or something? Are you lonely ? Is she a burn victim? Are you Jesus or something?
I don’t see anyone asking the REAL important question here...
Why didn’t you trim down that Nest video before you uploaded it to YouTube?
Her story checks out for those of you still skeptical. @molder101 Playing back the video with headphones, you can hear yelling from the car.
I'm the OP and while you may know people that would do that, I'm not that person.
Hope that's not her play because she'll be sadly mistaken.
She did try the "well can I pay you instead of going through insurance" bit. I passed.
I would describe her as a "hot mess."
Completely legal parking that does not obstruct the view of the stop sign. It's about 25 feet from the stop sign.
I agree that often videos go on and on. I thought it was short enough to include the "wait for it... wait for it... wait for it... awww dang!"
Plus if you had audio on you could hear her car start up nearby and see it enter the frame in a very short time. So it was obvious this was someone living or parked at someone's house nearby and not some stranger cruising around in their car that happened to just drive down this street.
I was under the impression she went back to her house (which happened to be on the same street), not that she came back to take responsibility.She came back, so why would anyone want to press the issue? It's not crazy to understand that somebody might panic and drive off, then think better of it and do the right thing. We should reward that sort of behavior.

I would have guessed it was the butler with a candlestick in the studyDefinitely the new neighbor with the sonata in the street did it. (for those who like Clue)
