Man I really don't like cops. I'm going to go out on a limb and say this was the civilian cop's mindset.

"Holy crap an accident. I'm glad I caught the very last glimpse of that so I could tell how the whole scenario played out. Good thing I was here, it would take someone with loads of experience in physics and mindless traffic cop duty to be able to tell what really went on here. Oh look, a vagina in that car, maybe she will look at me as a slightly attractive person if I take her side. Excuse me officer, he was speeding!!!"

Bad deal when you have a cop making a statement against you.  Her insurance company will have all the evidence they need to turn down any claim.  F'in cops.   

Better get all you can documented and signed asap Rusty.  People do weird crap during things like this.  Even if she is willing to accept blame today, she may change that (and being female, well ....) tomorrow.  Same with your friend, even if not likely, get it on papers.  F'in cops.

[Saulbadguy]

Still going to the CBE?   

[michigancat]

Is piss-tol Pete still getting tix?

Dunno, i'll send him a PM.

If I was allowed to, I'd help you out (and do it pro-bono).  Anything for a chance to stick it to a ku fan after my last couple of weeks at work.

Some cops are amazingly good at estimating speed without a radar gun, FYI.  I saw a demonstration by one once in Merriam who was predicting speeds before he shot the gun, with me standing right by him, and he was within 1 mph every time, everywhere from 25 to 45.

See?

If you weren't so damned cheap and got a REAL SUV you could have taken out her front end and never had a problem.

LOL at you "import" drivers..

Can't work outside of work.

Regardless of whatever magical abilities a cop may have it won't stand up in court.  I'm only a first year and I know that...come on

Her insurance denied my claim.  Police report said I was speeding.  Negligence on my part.  sh*t.

You can take her to small claims court for your portion of the deductible (500?).  I guess?  Try out Judge Judy, that would be fun.

They'll always opt to pay less or deny if they get any type of chance because they know many won't pursue the issue further.  You're not, however, out of options with them just because they initially denied the claim.

[michigancat]

I just filed a claim w/ my company.

[chum1]

That's much less of a PIA.

BTW, I agree that it was probably Rusty's fault.  Cocky, mid-twenties dude with a manual transmission racin' around the streets of KC, not really paying much attention, and on the way to work - that's basically a ticking time bomb for wrecks.  What does everyone else think?

That's what I was thinking.  Just like Super Dave doing all those crazy stunts, and he had his oriental side-kick right there feeding him all the data and taking pictures.  Doesn't mean you can't help him out now that he's learned the lesson though.
