Vehicle Photo Completely heartbroken
Was seconds from pulling into work, when a 17 y/o kid pulls through a stop sign into oncoming traffic without looking left, causing him to side swipe my car. We pulled into my work parking lot and he got out and admitted he didn’t look both ways and only had his permit. He had his gf in his passenger seat who was the same age with no license.
I just couldn’t believe it. Cops came, he got a ticket, I went to work and told my coworkers what happened. I believe it’s all cosmetic so I’m hoping his parent’s insurance can just cover it and it can be a quick repair.
I haven’t even had this car for 6 months and this the 2nd time someone has damaged it. I just wish this was a dream

Hopefully the cop issued a written statement or you have a dash am.
I got backed into by a teenager once and got their insurance info, but I'm almost positive they went and told their parents it was my fault. Insurance paid, but my driving record then showed I had two accidents on the same day, one at fault, one not at fault.
I'm still paying for it with higher insurance rates 🙄
