Long as you don't make a habit of it. I had a close one couple of days ago on the freeway -- my fault. I wasn't concentrating and the lane went from 80 to zero. Thank f u c k for ABS and Yokohama tyres!

Basically it's a trade-off between the amount of damage done and the amount your insurance will go up plus the loss of your safe driver discount, this should help you decide if you want to settle it privately or not.

Yup -- it's a usually a pigging c u n t here when it rains as there isn't enough rain to wash the oil off the surface, so it gets extra slippy when it eventually does. Having said that, there's been plenty of rain this year -- the Salt River actually had water in it for a while. Subaru AWD helps, too!

It was, I think, an American list. I didn't want an international one or it'd've been moved to the Lounge. Anyway, I don't think that sort of stuff is legal here except in a church...maybe even only on the altar.

I had an accident back in October, managed to get in the way of a moving dumptruck, doh. Luckily (kinda) it was a rental car and I just had to report the accident to my insurance company (purchased insurance seperately) within 7 days. Thank **** it was an only a dumptruck though, since I only had liabaility insurance, would have bankrupted me if it had been a porshe like every other car on the road here in LA!

Thank you Wintersong. If you had read the thread when it was first done, it would have really made you laugh but evidently the swearing police have been round and edited everyones replies. This is really pissing me off, has the board been renamed the 'you will only talk about what I want to talk about and all replies shall be approved by me' or what?
