XSIV4S Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 My sister in law was going to lunch yesterday when she saw a guy racing down the hill on a bicycle so she waited. At the last moment he cut behind her car and accidentally impacted the tail section, totaled his bike and just about ripped his finger off. Today she finds out that she's got 1800.00 in damage, 4 days in a rental car and a deductible of 500.00 she gets to pay all because this idiot was in such a hurry to get nowhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crockett Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Should be sentenced to forced labor until he has paid for the consequences of his actions. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, society wouldn't stand for that. There are now much fewer consequences for stupid and careless actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janice6 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 If you have nothing, you have nothing to lose. Debtors prison is a thing of the past, so when you have something and incur a casualty loss by the actions of someone with nothing, you're screwed. Now you must carry insurance on yourself because the other guy may not have any. We pay because many don't, plus, we have to support many of them too through welfare. When you have ambition, goals, drive to better yourself and family, you pay the brunt of the damage from those that don't. Damned if you do and damned if you don't. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F14Scott Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I hope she bought him some food, if he said he was hungry. He's just a guy with his own problems, not doing any harm by being homeless, right?[emoji849]Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDuke45 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Ya. This is what is wrong with this world. Little person gets hosed and the homeless idiot gets away with it. Probably got a shark (lawyer) on the phone ready to do something. I hope not is your sister in law ok. As to the insurance co. they will say guess what we are upping your rates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
