Guy admitted fault. He ran a flashing red, I had a flashing yellow. Decided not to go through insurance since he offered to pay for it. Though I got a picture of his insurance just incase. Think I’m just going to send him the link for a red bumper, tell him to get me that and call it a day.
Hope I dont get burned.
Link to the last time just because:

Seriously, that happened.

I just missed capturing this accident yesterday, the wire ring from the taxi’s hubcap was still spinning:
Kind of a dangerous intersection, there are two lanes turning south, but there isn’t really two lanes worth of space the way they have the lines painted:
I’m honestly surprised it doesn’t happen more.

Sometimes it’s better when the cop doesn’t stop. You never know who’s having a bad day...

Yep, if nothing else it feels like they could paint the lines through the intersection narrower and many have enough room for all five lanes. Turning south is always a bit of a shitshow.

Ouch, that sucks. At least it’s just the bumper though.
How did you get the fender last time? Did it come off a wrecked Miata of the same color, or was it pre-painted by a body shop? And how was the color match?

Still have the listing saved on my computer because it was so recent.
Junkyard car, color matches well enough that I cant tell. Hell my car has the most miles, so you can tell from the photo above that my hood has way more rock chips, lol.
Found another red bumper on the same site, going to send the guy a link tomorrow.

The same fucking spot. At least cranking the wheel and slamming on the brakes helped a little.

Reminds me of a deer strike I once had in my old LeSabre. Cracked the LF fender (plastic), so I temporarily stitched it back together with rivets and a backing plate. The temporary repair lasted until ANOTHER deer hit the same spot a few months later .

So cops saw that you’d had an accident, and just rolled by?
Helping out in situations like that is 80% of their job. At least it’s supposed to be. Whether it’s blocking off traffic so no one gets run over, mKing sure no one starts a fight, or testifying if it goes to court.

What if it was the same deer? We’re all creatures of habit.

Its still Detroit. I don’ t know if policy or not, but if its not an emergency and you don’ t call it in, they don’ t seem to stop.
We moved out of the intersection by that point too, so we weren't blocking traffic.
