    Got Rear ended by a drunk
    Dude hits me at 5 in the afternoon, i go to pull into a parking lot to take care of it, he takes off, I chase his dumb ass down and he figures he better pull over. Steps out of the car stumbling, stinks of alcohol. mumbling about how he is sorry. Keeps telling me not to call the cops, I message the wife have her call the cops, dude keeps stumbling around telling me he's going to take care of it.

    Cops get there, take my info, look at the damage, send me on my way. Cop just called me back, guy blew a .307.

    No insurance, at least he claimed, now he tells the cop he does have insurance after he got a ticket for that. Wants the cop to give him my number so he can take care of it out of pocket.

    Not a lot of damage, he hit the hitch on my truck and bent the wire connector up. I bet a shop will tell me the whole hitch needs replaced though. Think I'm going to be a dick and turn it into his insurance, shouldn't have tried to run from me.

          Thank God it was only 5 and you didn't blow a .2 yourself!

          Absolutely turn it in to his insurance.

          .307 at 5pm is a solid day's work....if it was 2am I'd have no problem

            You are not being a dick by getting his insurance to pay for damage he caused to you or your truck. The .307 will do damage to his insurance beyond anything you will do, and you did the right thing getting him off the road.

                        I don't know how you didn't slug him. I would be so mad I don't know if I would be able to stop from hauling off and popping someone like this. Probably wouldn't because he's defenseless.

                          This is a cool story bro. You should start a blog, maybe write a novel or something.

                            he cant afford to pay insurance, yet he says hes gonna take care of it out of pocket? Take him for everything you can.

                                If he does not have insurance, make sure that you appear at the restitution hearing. The court depending on what state you are located at will order restitution as part of his probation. So make sure you save all your receipts and paperwork to present if you want any reimbursements.

                                    Kinda like fighting a retard, you kick his ass and oh wow you beat up a drunk, you lose and you never hear the end of it.

                                      If you don't turn it over to insurance, you may never get anything. A DUI is going to show up anyway, so it's not like you're saving him from anything.

                                        If it turns out he doesn't have insurance, let the cops know so he gets that ticket.
