that's why you snap pictures the second it happened

Had the same this morning, some big shot banker in a LExus 400 tries to wiggle in to a gap that simply was not there.. He figured i'de brake to let him in, i figured he could try that chit cause it's his insurance that will pay to fix my company car and i really can't be bothered if he wants to bang up his car on mine...

I thought he was bout to have a fit when our cars collided at slow speed. His bigass Lexus vs my smallish 1 series. He seriously threw a temper tantrum.... i chuckled.

Started going off at me, that i should have yielded cause he had his indicator on.
i'm like: Maybe in your world, but not in the real one. you changed lanes, you drove into me, you are an idiot.

So he insisted on calling the cops, after we relocated to no longer cause a T jam. fine, i had my pics

so when the cops come, they are like, whatever dude, we are not in the business of assessing blame, fil in the paperwork and send it to your insurance. As i knew would happen.

So we fill in the form, with standardized questions

For me : Position "adjacent lane, same direction"
For him : "changed lane"

And he signed it..

You're honor, the defense rests.

oh yeah, and the best part? I got a tiny ding, he had to get his Lexus towed...Electro motors apparently are real sensitive about getting banged up..


European accident reports , require to answer standardized questions about the situation
And to draw out a sketch as to who was where when it happened..




Usually very badly written while in the car, so pictures, pictures pictures.
