A man in St. Louis said he was given a $5,800 bill by the city for stoplight repairs after a crash pushed his car into a pole.
Mark Hartnagel said the crash happened on Aug. 6 at a busy intersection. He was making a left turn with a green light when an oncoming driver hit his car, slamming it into a stoplight pole.
Never got insurance info from the other driver? Have fun paying off the light, ya dumbass.
ReplyDeleteYeah, well screw you, pal. Just pay up and let me get back to my coffee and this bear claw.
ReplyDeleteSo he turns in front of an oncoming car that hits the back end of his vehicle and causes him to hit the pole? Says the other car could have been speeding, also says maybe the light should be a 'turn on green arrow only' (to control stupid drivers), so none of this terrible tragedy is his own fault? Sounds like he failed to yield the right-of-way and caused all this anyway.
ReplyDeleteIf he was trapped in his car and injured, I could see not personally getting the other driver's info, but where were the cops? Did the other driver 'hit and run'?
The bullshit is deep with this one...

Usually, regardless of who caused the accident, the car that strikes the object is responsible for that damage. IOW, if you hit me from behind and drive me into another car, you pay for my damage and I pa
Not true. If you are a car that is struck from behind and driven into the back of the car in front of you, it is the rearmost car that is responsible for the damages and also gets the traffic citation.
DeleteNo. When I got hit from behind and pushed into the Car in front of me, Driver that hit me Insurnace payed both. I paid nothing.
DeleteDas ist richtig, Ed. Your car hits it you own it.
DeleteBull shit!
DeleteNein, das ist alles andere als korrekt, Boggy! Geh zurück in deinen verdammten Sumpf und spiel mit deinem Hasen!
DeleteNot really seeing the story here? "Both drivers had green lights, with Hartnagel having a “left turn yield on green” sign."....so he got hit after not yielding during a turn and property was damaged as a result? Sounds like his insurance company should be picking this one up.
ReplyDeleteThat sure sounds right. If he had a duty to yield and didn't, it's his bill.
