Today, I hit a patch of black ice and totaled my car. The car is a month old. For the next 5 years I'll be paying for a car I can't drive. FML

Yeah, insurance should cover it, they should give you money for another car in the amount of what your car was worth before the accident. And if you don't have insurance, YDI.

ah merde c chien sa mais o quebec et surtout montreal les routes sont affreux hehe bonne chance av ton auto hehe mais les assurance devrai le couvrir ou bien couvrir certaine chose :S

If you are paying for a car they usually make you get full coverage for the car. So if you don't have it. Your an idiot

Agreed. I'm surprised the finance company (bank) allowed possession of the car without full-coverage insurance. THEY (the bank) want to protect themselves... from idiots such as this.

Even with full coverage, you are upside down on your loan on a new vehicle. the second you drive off the lot your car is now considered used and you have no equity in the car. having an addition insurance called GAP insurance covers the gap between what your car is worth vs the balance on your loan.

was driving the speed limit, but it happend to be on a highway where the speed limit was 100km/h

Can Geico save you 15% or more on car insurance? Can an idiot total a new car and post it on FML?

Wrong. The bank won't loan you the money without insurance on the vehicle. The dealer doesn't care. He already has his money.

If you can't afford to get an insurance for the car, don't buy it. YDI

Did you not have insurance? Did you not get GAP insurance as well? If you didn't have either, you're a total jackwagon. Oh, and slow down.

Not having insurance on a new car is just plain stupid, for this exact reason. YDI. And if you're going that fast to total the car, slow the hell down when the temps are low enough to form black ice.

haha Canada has black ice constantly, usually from sept-April.

Unless they have changed the law, it used to be mandatory to have collision insurance on any vehicle that was fincanced.

English #12... did u see anyone else speaking a foreign language?

FML was founded by Frenchmen, launched on the INTERNET, which has no national boundaries. Therefore... what "foreign language"? Oh yeah, Americans claim the internet for ourselves, too. Great.

#22 - welcome to the *world*-wide-web, which is neither English- nor America-centric.
