Today, I stopped at a yellow light. The guy behind me did not. He had no insurance. FML

Today, I stopped at a red light. I noticed the car in front of me had their reverse lights on. I thought to myself, "Meh, that person must know. They wouldn't do that." The light turned green. Turns out they didn't. Nor did they have insurance. FML

Today, some genius shot through a red light, hitting my car and nearly killing me. When I went to ask if he was okay, the first words out of his mouth were, "I hope you have insurance". FML

Today, I got rear ended. The guy flashed his lights at me to pull over, so I pulled into the side of the road. He drove away. FML

Today, I decided to be a good driver and not run through the yellow light. As soon as I stopped my car another came and rear-ended me. The guy told me to go in the parking lot so we can exchange information. So I drove into the parking lot, I turned my head and watched him drive away. FML

Today, I got rear-ended at a stop sign on a seldom used road in my neighborhood. As I open my car door to trade insurance information with the guy, he backs up a little and speeds away, taking my car door with him. FML

Today, I got into a car accident. The guy wouldn't give me his information, but instead stood there saying, "Like a good neighbor, Statefarm is there." FML

Today, while at a stop light, I was rear-ended by a car behind me. The guy got angry at me, because according to him, I should've known that his car has poor braking distance, and so I should've moved forward a few more feet to compensate. FML

Today, I stopped at a red light, when I noticed the car in front of me was in reverse. I honked at the driver, hoping he'd realize and place the car in drive. He thought the light turned green and immediately backed into me. FML

Today, I went to my insurance company to deal with some paperwork. One of their employees backed into my car before I made it into the building. FML

Today, I was driving to work and stopped at a stop light. A full 2 or 3 seconds passed, followed by a car rear-ending me. The idiot driving it got out and gave me hell, calling me a maniac because I braked "too quickly" and didn't give him a chance to react. FML

that's why YOU have insurance..... so then you don't have to worry about, so if you don't have it you're just as stupid as them.

And thats why "Most people" average one "Accident" per year. Inability to see that they have poor driving habits. Thats why there is a television show called "Canadas worst Driver"

What if the driver that hit her fled the scene? And what if OP has no insurance? What kind of position does that leave the OP?

I hate when people stop at yellow lights. It means proceed with caution. YDI for stopping. And FYL for the dude not having insurance.

he stoped at a yellow light so it's her fault so she has to pay for his damage since he has no inssurance.

I'm guessing America has a different insurance system to Australia....Otherwise the only way its illegal is if he doesn't have Compulsary Third Party which only covers the other party for medical damages, not damages to their vehicle. And the only way OP would be covered by their insurance is if they had Comprehensive. And 47, I drive for a living as well, and if you're going to sit there and tell me that you have never once sped up a little to get through an orange light I call bullshit. Even the most responsible, law abiding drivers I know have been known to do this from time to time...Because as long as you know its not going to turn red while you're in the intersection, its really not unsafe...there's a delay between one set turning red and the other turning green to try and allow for idiot drivers that run red lights.

I don't honestly know that much about insurance in America (although I have it, I just got what my dad recommended, lol) and I know noting about insurance in Australia- but here's what I do know: in America, it's illegal to drive without insurance, but very easy to do so. In some (maybe all) states you have to show proof of insurance to register your car, but there's nothing stopping people from driving cars without getting them registered (until they get caught), or letting their insurance expire and not paying to renew it. so, when OP says the other driver had no insurance, that probably means he literally had NO insurance, which is illegal, but unless she takes him to court or something, it doesn't really help her that he will have massive fines to pay for driving without insurance. that sucks, OP, because he should have been following at a safe enough distance to stop when you did. hopefully the repairs aren't too expensive!
