Emergency

By automotive glass tech - 21/01/2016 18:09 - Canada - Winnipeg

Today, while I was working replacing a windshield, some jerk off hit my truck. A truck carrying 2 grand in glass. Including the windshield I was about to install. The driver gets out and says, "Sorry man, I had to text my girlfriend." FML

I hope you made him pay for the loss. That really sucks.

I hope his insurance company (if he has one) pays you and then drops him!

I'm fairly certain he has insurance since it is illegal in manitba Canada to drive without insurance

It's illegal in various places. It doesn't actually stop them.

You should say, "Sorry man I just have to call the cops."

He actually probably did. This is Canada and if the crash is over $1000 dollars in damage, which sound like it was, it is an obligation to call them. On top of that, it would just be a good call in this case. The guy clearly admitted to being at fault, meaning he now has to pay for all of it, and he'll get a big fine and penalties on his license for distracted driving.

I would have punched him square in the face to be honest.

Believe it or not about 90% of all the wrecks I get called to are from people who were on their damn phone. Its getting worse every year....and its not always younger kids.

Oh, like Canada's never had it's fair share of lawsuits. I'd really like to see this one on TV.

@16 The only reason this shouldn't result in a lawsuit is if his insurance company (if he has one) is willing to pay for the damage.

"Had to." You know what else he had to do? Crash into a ditch because he was dumb enough to text while driving.

Oh yes they do. Try working retail in Erie Pa and you find that out real quick. (They literally come here in buses to shop because it's cheaper thanks to lower or no sales tax.)

It's just cheaper in general there. Even if they had the same taxes, it would still be cheaper

Well, he did say sorry, so he was being polite. What he wasn't being was responsible.

Oh that's not true. I find this is especially when driving, we can be real assholes on the road.

This is why using your phone whilst driving is an offence in the UK

I've had my teachers tell us it's okay to text and drive because "it's no big deal, you just pay the fine". Idiots.

Your teachers should be shot for that way of thinking.

well if you're from Alberta it's a $1000 fine now. so if you're teacher is able to afford that and willing to pay he's a real moron. I'd rather go on a trip with that type of money.

Oh we definitely have them in Canada too. This is Manitoba, which has the stiffest "distracted driving law." You get 5 points off your license if caught, the less points you have, the higher the premium you have to pay in order to keep your license to drive. This means if you already have lots of "demerits," as we call them, you could have to pay $100-$3500 a year just for the ability to drive, or you can get your license taken away altogether. You also get a fine on the ticket, usually about $200.
