My new car..she dead

smokeyandthebandit05 · 09-07-2009, 11:47 PM

I own/ed an 09 Outback Sport for about a month and had less then 3k miles on it. Tonight I totaled her. I hit a guard rail goin around a sharp turn and ripped off the whole front passenger wheel assembly (shock, brakes, axle...everything) , front bumber/grill and the passenger quarter panel. 3 air bags deployed, the steering, and both passenger curtain bags blew. Im totally fine but Im pretty sure shes totaled.

Oh and the police officer gave me a failure to keep right ticket....I crashed on the right side lol

Glad you are ok Rich.

The ticket is kind of funny though.

SmokeyJoe · 09-07-2009, 11:52 PM

Don't know how you could have gotten MORE right than that!

Grateful you are ok, bro.

Thanks yeah I almost had to Jeff Gordon myself out and Im also thinkin of fighting the ticket but Im also worried the judge would throw it out and give me a careless driving. Can they do that?

smokeyandthebandit05 · 09-07-2009, 11:55 PM

I havent talked to insurance yet but just by lookin at it I can saw Im 99% sure it will be. My friends and I were thinkin just buy a new subaru and maybe transfer the loan over (Ive only made 1 payment) and use the money I get from the car to put down on the new one. Idk what do u guys think?

Not sure if the judge can do that. Up here if one fights a ticket they see a magistrate. The magistrate can only ammend the ticket for less than what the police wrote other than if the po-po at least in my experiance such as a speeding ticket writes it for less and the drive was an idiot and is an idiot in court. Then sometimes I request the ticket be ammended to the full amout of speed I caught them at. I know, I'm a A$$ sometimes

Glad you're not hurt, Rich....hope the car can be fixed.

I think that ticket may be beatable.

sikk50 · 09-08-2009, 12:01 AM

I would deffinatly argue the ticket, don't foreget your pictures if you go to court. Also if you don't mind me asking, what was the cause of the accident? Just going too fast?

smokeyandthebandit05 · 09-08-2009, 12:09 AM

going too fast but I was down shifting and breaking but the way the road is. It has like a little hump and what I think happened was the cars weight shifted all onto the front passenger tire and the tire couldnt take the deceleration and momentum and it just let loose.

DPD6030 · 09-08-2009, 12:14 AM

Glad you are ok.

icehog3 · 09-08-2009, 12:18 AM

Andrew is right....here, the prosecutor can ask to amend the ticket to the proper violation, but the judge can't do it of his own volition. Being that it was a one-car crash, they might just let it go.

(Tom's not stupid though) I agree and being as you might be worried over a careless ticket that is a civil infraction up here so no prosecutor invovled.

Careless driving is viewed as a pretty big deal, at least in Detroit! LOL! I've slowed down a lot in my older years, but when I was younger I accumulated three of those violations in a 7 year period.

Flat4boxer · 09-08-2009, 08:31 AM

Glad you are okay Rich. PM inbound.

Better talk with your auto insurance agent first. Your rates might take an even bigger hike if you are convicted of a moving violation.

DPD6030 · 09-08-2009, 12:37 AM

Yeah I'd talk with the insurance co. first.
