I didn't have my cell phone with me as the gas station is all of 5 min from the house. No one witnessed it nor did anyone stop. I waited 20 min then drove it back home believe it or not. It drove ok aside from not being able to turn the wheel due to the fender. I called the police and they told me I couldn't file a report because I moved the car from the scene. I told them I waited and had no way of getting a hold of anyone and did not want to leave the car and walk. So, I could not file a report 25 min after it happened and they are blowing it off. So, now, the guy gets away with it and I will probably end up paying big on this repair.

What pissant PD was that? State law says to move your car from traffic to a safe spot before calling the police, so how is that any different? You need to contact your insurance company ASAP.

I already called the ins company...I will battle the adjuster to try and get this claimed as uninsured. I have never seen that vehicle before so I doubt I ever will again. The place he hit me is the same place where I hit the small tree so it is hard to see where he contacted me. The pd 8s Sherman.

Well, nearly 3 weeks later, good as new.

Total repair cost was $8068. Luckily my deductible was $250 but it still pissed me off either way. Just glad to be back on the road.
