If PAB was driving uninsured and the old fool hit him, then it is still PAB's fault. Not sure if thats been stated cuz most of the threads were just laughing at PAB's lack of driving skills.
Speaking of which, haha damn you suck at teh driving skills.

Say you have a killer reaction time. You react as soon as the threat shows itself. And you're fast, you move your foot from the gas to the brake in 0.1 second. You're down to about 43 feet. You'll only get down to about 40MPH.
But say, you're human. It takes you about half a second to react and about a quarter to move your foot. You're hitting at 49MPH (because you got your foot off the gas)
I thought PAB was superhuman... You're telling me he's not?!

He has superhuman car buying skills. Not car driving skills.
PAB, he caused the accident because you're not white.
Make sure you sue on grounds of racial discrimination.

Hows it my fault?
If any of you bothered to read the police report you'd see that under INSURANCE and VEHICLE 2 - STATE FARM is clearly listed. I have insurance, I just didn't have insurance for THAT CAR.
Plus - its clearly the old man's fault.

It's hard to judge distance accurately when you're in a high pressure situation like that. Please post pics of you playing in traffic with a measuring tape.

Yeah 50 feet from where the fvcking car was. See, had he been paying attention, he would have seen the old man merge over and slow down. If the old guy was stopped, then he must have been slowing down for a while, and its pretty easy to see a guy slowly merging into your lane up the road. He was probably bein a dumbass and wasnt paying attention. So from the point he looks up (THIS IS WHERE HE HAS 50 FEET) he cant stop. His goddamn fault for not paying attention. I doubt the old man locked up his wheels and swirved into oncoming with a smoke cloud pouring off his wheels. Generally old people do things slowly. So hes at fault for not paying attention to what the old man was doing. because he wasnt INSTANTLY stuck 50 feet infront of the old man while going 50 mph.

Excuse me? Its my fault again?
Listen up assholes. I'm going to repeat myself YET AGAIN.
I'm driving down the road doing 50. I go through an intersection with a green light. See the intersection? It's right here. It's pretty damn close to the 7-11.
http://pics.apartment808.com/users/dukeofurl1/IMG_1105.JPG
http://pics.apartment808.com/users/dukeofurl1/IMG_1107.JPG
I pass THROUGH the intersection doing 50, the old man makes a left from behind 2 other cars in the left turn lane and STOPS his car, blocking both lanes of opposing traffic.
Now, there are about three or four people here who says "Its clearly PAB's fault because he could have slowed down to miss the old man" or "How is the old guy at fault? PAB didnt hit his car, so why should his insurance pay? This is clearly a scam."
Well, let me put this bug in your ear. If you're driving down the road at 50 and a someone drives right in front of you and you hit him - its clearly YOUR fault for not stopping in time, right? If someone is the CAUSE of the accident, even though they dont get hit - they still are the cause, and thus liable.
So anyways - when you're doing 50, you're going to need a lot of real estate to come to a complete stop. By the time you realize OH SNAP and the time your foot hits the brakes - that's a second. And according to some rudimentary personal injury law math, that's a lot of distance to cover. So instead of crashing into an old man with a heart condition who has failed to yield, I used some quick thinking and saved Geico about $20,000.
If you read the report, you'd see that I'm listed as a white male as well. So there's no discrimination here since we're just a couple of white honkys.

The distance to the intersection and the 2003 Malibu in my way is roughly 50 feet. It takes a second from OH SNAP till you hit he brakes. I'm sure someone here can figure out how much distance you can cover in one second doing 50. Anyone see red asphalt?
Here's the police report and a picture of the wrecked car! Thats for the assholes saying I bullshitted the wreck.

READ THE REPORT. I had insurance, just not on that car. See where it says INSURANCE - STATE FARM under VEHICLE TWO and GEICO under VEHICLE ONE?
Now, heres the other half of the report. Note that I AM VEHICLE TWO.
http://pics.apartment808.com/users/dukeofurl/IMG_6502.JPG
If you can't see too good look at contributing causes. I highlighted VEHICLE ONE - 03 - FAILURE TO YIELD in yellow just in case y'all are from kentucky or something and can't read.

Suck on that asswipes. 14 pwns, one post. This has got to be a record.
Why did the officer write that vehicle 1 was involved in collisions with MV in transport (left turn) and (sideswipe)?
Insurance Co's always undercut the first check. They included reman parts and discounted labor / reuse materials, etc. Normally you could use it as a deposit to a reputable body shop and if the repairs go over they'd contact the insurer for additional funds. In this case, I guess it's in your best interest to just get the $5K+ check up front, but, after lawyer fees and such I don't see how you are going to come out ahead fighting the $3k one. Do tell if you do!
Not crapping, just curious how it works out with the lawyer.

If you're driving a '03 Dodge Neon, why does the police report show Car 2 as a '94 Plymouth? Did you or did you not have insurance for that vehicle during the accident?
nah insurance can cover a person driving any car... if you say let me borrow your car and i wrecked it ... my insurance would take over assuming i have i think its called stacked insurance...
I just went independant from my parents with car insurance... i had to deal with all there confusing wordings and ridiculous categories...

I think you're taking liberties with the use of "put a bug in their ear". I can't think of an appropriate aphorism but that one is not. In fact I think that whole paragraph, at least, should be re-written, your attempt at sarcasm makes it confusing.

You just keep pwning YOURSELF by continuing this embarrassment of a thread.
I'll repeat myself:
People calls shens cause noone thinks youre THAT much of a douche. Those are shens in your favor, because theyre giving you the benefit of the doubt.
But you take that and throw it back in everyone's face with your little fairy-boy antics, because your life is so empty that the only victory you have in life is convincing people on the internet that you REALLY ARE that much of a douche.
With every post you make, you pwn yourself more and more. So congratulation on gaining a level, you are now level 10 douche. Keep on working on it, and you'll be grand master douche in no time, and before you know it, you can outdouche ANYONE, although considering your experience, you've already got a fighting chance.
