| When you are on the freeway... And you see two cars bump into eachother, and it's not like "an accident", but they like connnected, and you witness it, are you supposed to stop to be like a witness? I didn't think there was any more damage than headlight, neither stopped, they both pulled off.... Should I have stopped? | ||||

I sped up, and he backed off, he didn't even look in the blind spot, he just got back into his lane when I drove by. Well, he went to do the same thing, not looking, and an SUV was changing lanes at the same time as him, and they both came into the lane together, and bumped headlights. They both got off at the exit. I saw a piece of someone's car fly, they didn't like, "CRASH", they bumped... Am I supposed to stop for bumps? | ||||

But, when I drove away, I thought, what damage really could have been done over deductable? And it didn't seem like much? Maybe a couple of scratches, and a headlight replacement for him? But I couldn't say For Sure For Sure, and I probably would have asked the old guy why the hell he was sticking his hand out the window and using his blinker at the same time??  | ||||

| If the old guy was ahead of the SUV then he may not be at fault.......you probably weren't in the best position (or state of mind) to determine fault. Don't feel bad about stopping.

Yeah, sometimes the "like" sneaks out. It's worse on my Mommy Group's Message board, they all do it. I try to be the pillar of well spoken American English, being a major in English! | ||||
