She had clearly rammed into me!!!

Now those of you on this board that know me, know I had quite a few choice words for her and the cop. He was very polite and handed us both brochures. What! A brochure! Really???? She clearly made an illegal left hand turn! I pointed the arrows out to him, which he replied were "only a suggestion". OMG! How nuts is that????

Well, when it came to insurance time, I was completely vindicated. The woman's insurance had to pay they said "because of the police report!" I was very happy, as she kept saying I hit her. The only way I could have hit her is if I was driving sideways!!! hahah! Anyway, I'm very leary in the roundabouts now and thank you to the officer (for putting up with my rage) and writing out the accident report correctly.

Hope this wasn't the same person as your "X". We had $1865.00 in damages, but at least HER insurance company had to pay it!

Congrats on getting paid for the damages the other car caused. However can you please ask or when you get your new insurance bill if they increased your premium because of the incident. Reason I ask is a couple years ago I merely reported an incident to my carrier to protect myself in case the other party tried to file a false claim. Well 4 months later my policy increased by 25%. No false or any claim was filed. Yet they increased it as a result of my reporting was the response the agent told me.
