I was just rear-ended by a sleeping, high woman in Ft. Worth. I looked up into my rear view mirror in bumper-to-bumper traffic to see a woman with her head on her chest plowing over into my lane at a rapid rate of speed right toward my rear bumper. Somehow, there was an opening and her drug addled, sleepy brain directed her Dodge Durango right into the back end of my Trailblazer. I was so chapped when she waltzed over to where I was and said, "I don't have any insurance." Later, I even began to feel sorry for her, just not sorry enough to let her off scott-free. I immediately dialed 911 and reported the incident. The officer took about 15 minutes to arrive and do his thing.
This girl looked to be in her 20's. She had all the signs of being high on something. Exaggerated hand and leg movements. Erratic behavior. I told the officer to check it out and could I please go now. He cut me loose and agreed to check further. She was due to receive a stack of citations for obvious reasons.
I'm irritated that with all of today's modern technology, there's still no mechanism in place to ensure that un-insured motorists pay for the damages they inflict on other vehicles.
Fortunately, I'm fine. Slight dull headache. The car isn't terribly damaged, but certainly looks worse for wear.
GRRRR!!!
I canceled my dinner plans with an old friend and just went to my brother's house.
