Sucks

Well, good things first. The neon is repairable. MPI assessed the damage at $5200. The kicker though? The guy I hit told a totally different story. He says he was in the left lane the whole time and I rear-ended him. I'm not denying I hit his rear bumper, but he did cut me off and wasn't completely in the lane.

Either way, there are no witness' and it's my word against his. He's claiming no damage to his truck and the onus is on me to prove he cut me off which is going to be impossible given there are no witness'.

So now I have to pay a $200 deductible, be without a car for a few weeks AND pay a $200 surcharge on my license the next time I renew it because I'm considered at fault.

Why can't people just own up to what they do?
