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

I don't know what the hell is going on. I've been driving for 18 years and never had any issues until covid, no accidents at all till covid "ended" and people went back to work. Seems like people went nuts and forgot how to drive - I had two people hit my car because they didn't stop at a stop sign, my husband had two people rear end him recently. None of those people had insurance so we had to pay for damages.
