Damn, Man……..
You had to go back a full thirteen years to find an example of that kind of idiocy?!?
Pay attention……..
Its all around us!
Yep! it's been around a long time, including rubbernecking at an accident on the other side of the road and ... BAM! ... another accident!

Right after I dropped the wife off at work, was hit when making a left turn with a green arrow. Other driver ran a red light. I have a dash cam ordered, just hasn't been delivered yet. Other driver was honest though, and told the responding police officer that they were distracted and ran the red light. (picture of their vehicle blurred to protect their identity, they were wearing a work badge)

Currently working through their insurance, stopped by my dealer for a quote: currently at $9,500 in repairs.

I'd say it's a pretty safe truck, I walked away with only a sore left arm from hitting the door panel.

Dealer said truck should be safe to drive now as-is, but we'll be taking the wife's Jetta until I can get repairs finalized.

While the truck is in the shop and they have easy access to what's behind the bumper shield, have them install fog lights. JJC makes mounts and bezels for fog lights but you have to take the front end apart to get them installed. . . . :(

I'm not a JJC salesmen but I play one on TV.

Thanks to JohnKn for mentioning the significant issue of diminished value following any vehicle damage, collision or otherwise. The repair estimate, and the eventual final tally only addresses the major portion of the cost. The remainder is real but very subjective. Insurance corporations do not concern themselves with such intangibles. To my knowledge there is no "formula" to determine lost value. It's up to you to fight for that. There's a reason why the major online automotive marketplaces ask the question: "has your vehicle ever been in an accident?".
As I was rear-ended last Sunday, I'm now dealing with this. Apparently there is a formula "17c" - however not all states use it and it also sounds like its a crapshoot on whether the insurance pays out.

I got a roughly $1200 17c value.

I ran a Carvana estimate on my truck with no accident, then with 1 - $2,000 drop in offer price. I may do an extensive review of all the websites that give you an immediate offer for further evidence in pursuing a claim. I will wait until my truck is repaired first - no estimate yet...

Thanks for that info, my insurance carrier (a major one) is either unaware of the 17c or like you said it may not exist in Ohio. Anyway, sorry to hear you're having to deal with all that. Hopefully the insurance carrier for the party at fault can be reasonable, if that's how it played out. Best of luck to you.

Just saw someone plow right thru a red light in an SUV in the lane next to me and my MAV like the light wasn’t even there. I was sitting there stopped along with traffic two lanes over. No regard for traffic or right of way. Just missed oncoming traffic and just kept going. I’m always watching out at greens and any intersections for road runners. No one seems to give a $h:+ at signals or signs anymore !! Glad you’re OK.



Saw the same thing the other day. The guy that ran the red light made the next turn into a bar. I've seen three cars in the same number of days go right through the red light well after it's been red.

Sorry......that's hard to take! Glad you are ok and not injured severely. I had a new mustang a few years back that someone hit when it was 3 days old. Made me sick to look at it.
