That's what the PA said to say what happened :biglaugh:
Red light runner hit my car & then I hit another car, She admits liability but has a low $ policy.
Airbag messed up my arm & usual neck & back soreness. Thank God I wasn't on the bike.

My car:

Her car:

I don't know how you get away with that low. And it gets split between me & the guy I hit :eek: (my last er bill was $24k, not including drs & x-rays) And she walks away without a ticket ! This state is f'cked up !!

How does she not have a ticket? There is separate coverage for medical and for the vehicle. No way is the medical side only $10K to cover all parties involved in the wreck. An ambulance ride can go through that 10K. I set my medical coverage at $250k that is not split. I hope you are not in for a long legal battle to get things paid and repaired.

Update:
My insurance totalled the car :(
Her liability is $10k, no medical at all. My insurance will cover my medical bills, but I don't want my premiums going up. I don't know why she didn't get a ticket since there was an independent witness who said she ran the light. And she admitted it ! I may call a lawyer just to make her pay out of pocket. It's not right that she carries min insurance & then just walks away free & clear.
Today we start car shopping. We get to go into debt cause $7500 won't buy us much. And the thought of buying a used car with an unknown history makes me cringe.

Morning Dennis :) Not an especially good summer, no. Now I have car payments too :( But only a month til we hit the road to N.M., so hopefully fall will be better.
Hope you're enjoying retirement !

Glad you are ok!
Didn’t run the light but it was her fault... ??
Oh well, they should raise the minimum coverage, I think it is $10,000 in AL too but we still have many driving with no insurance.
Be vigilant out there whether on 2 wheels or 4, especially at intersections. I’m always looking especially at blind intersections because attn to driving in cars is almost non existent now with all the gadgets built in and the cell phone no one can live without..

retirement is good...like to plan at least one thing special every month to look forward to...barbs on a concert kick lately so we have included that into our nites out menu...glad she's still working to pay for it too...what did you end up buying?

never go wrong w/ a Honda...any of them...daughter had leased a CRV a few years back...loved it...unfortunately the high paying job she had when she leased it didn't work out and with her driving bookoo miles yearly, in the end the final $$$ owed was quite the eye opener...she knew that going in but figured w/her salary at the time she would be able to deal with the closing $$$ without any problem...never assumed what the future holds, she dealt with it...make that Daddy & Jen dealt with it...story has a familiar ring to it for some reason, turned in the CRV and bought, not leased a new Honda Fit. Loves that one too...misses the roominess of the CRV but can rest assured that when the last payment is made, its hers.

Have a great trip to N.M., what sends you in that direction?

You're suppose to have a job to lease ??? :eek:

We had to cancel OctoVRfest because of a concert for Dave & his brother. So we decided to take a long trip instead. Will be going to the Balloon Fiesta & riding with a good friend. Guy who taught me to ride many, many years ago. And it's a prelude to our ride to Alaska next year.
Hurricane's looking to come in across the state, so we should get some rain & wind but hopefully not more. (I'm across the bay from Tampa, if you want to keep an eye on me). But thanks for the good wishes :)

No, never been in one. Probably won't now either.
Alaska is next May if you want to tag along :)
