    Got Rear Ended today!

    So I'm driving home from the gym, it's snowing for the first time this year. I'm stopped at a light a good two cars back from the car in front. I look in my rear view to see a jeep liberty sliding sideways at me, fast! I popped the clutch and tried to pull around the car in front of me but the woman in the jeep was just going to fast and out of control. She smashed into me and did some moderate damage to my 'new to me' BMW. I jumped out and lost my shit on her for a good while. After I calmed down and apologized, we exchanged information and tried to report the acciedent but the wait was so long at the station we decided I'll wait until tomorrow instead.
    Learn how to drive people!!!!!!!! Holy Christ! /rant





    Bumper is cracked in multiple places that the pics don't really show.

    Advice? After my report and calling insurance I would like this to be taken care of at the dealer and I'll obviously need a rental.

    My insurance covers rentals. Ask them. They will set it up for you. Then you tell them where you want repairs done, and usually dealers are a no brainer for you and them. Should be ok.

    Sucks a big one though.

    Sorry to hear that! Your insurance company will definitely help you out.

    PS Glad you're okay.

    Damn that sucks. Like had already been said, check with your insurance as they probably cover a rental. Dealers don't usually do the work themselves (some do but no all) so since it looks like only body and not mechanical damage I would try to find the best body shop around you area

    First snowfalls of the season are always the worst. People forget how to drive in the snow. Granted not all accidents and can be prevented but seeing as she was driving a jeep on the same road as you under snowy conditions I'd expect her vehicle to perform better in the snow. She was probably being a little careless behind the wheel

    I saw her skidding sideways for at least 100 feet. She was being completely careless. If I hadn't have tried to move out of the way my car would have been a write off I garrantee it

    4WD/AWD helps you accelerate faster in snow... doesn't help you stop any faster!
