What did you tell the police? I mean there was a deer that ran out in front of me so I slammed on the brakes and ended up in the guard rail.

Remember Rich is in Jersey so he needs to substitute "Wiseguy" for deer!

I did not pull the deer card. I really didnt want to lie to the police.

Sorry to hear about your car but I am glad you are ok!

Good luck with that ticket.

From my experience, Subaru's are one of the better cars to be in if you are in a wreck. The good thing is you are okay.

Was speed ever discussed with the police? As for fighting the ticket, it really depends on the cop, if he shows up in court, you may be SOL. A ticket after a single car crash is just adding insult to injury.

I guarnatee my story would be "I was driving along, minding my own business
and I heard a loud POP, like a gunshot. Next thing I know I am dragging along
the guard rail." The old blowout story.

I told them I was doing 40-45. I had no real clue how fast I was actually goin. I was just downshifting and breaking as fast as I could and I figured thats probably what I was doin at the time of impact.

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, 07:31 AM

Glad you are okay Rich. PM inbound.

kelmac07 · 09-08-2009, 07:41 AM

Also glad to hear you're okay...the car can be replaced brother...you can't!

09-08-2009, 07:43 AM

Glad you are OK...

Scottw · 09-08-2009, 08:06 AM

Thankfully you are OK Rich, sorry to hear about the car though.

hotreds · 09-08-2009, 08:12 AM

As above, key is that you're ok! Best of luck with the rest!

aich75013 · 09-08-2009, 08:13 AM

Glad you didn't get hurt.

In 2000, I totaled my 66 conv. Mustang by driving straight into a telephone pole at 45mph. I swerved off the road to avoid another driver and didn't have enough time to correct. Got bruised up a bit, but no injuries. Only had a lap belt.
Basically, the police told me I should have let the guy hit me, as now it is a 1 car accident. They were nice though and didn't give me any tickets.

Yeah it was over on wykertown road by the 2 sharp turns by the hay farm. If u happen to drive thru there you'll probably see the smashed guard rail

PeteSB75 · 09-08-2009, 08:48 AM

As far as the ticket, do yourself a favor and talk to a lawyer in NJ. If you have your insurance through an agent and are friendly with him, ask him about what it will do to your rates. If you are with a bigger co, don't ever mention a moving violation to them. They will already jack your rates through the roof for totaling a brand new car - single-car accident = your fault.

spooble · 09-08-2009, 09:13 AM

That sucks, man. Glad you're OK.

Was is right here?
