I was at a red light waiting for it to turn green when I heard a screech behind me. This woman crashes her Honda Civic into my rear. I jump out and head over to her car and the first thing I see is a fat woman hugging an air bag. She hit me in the hardest place on the back of my Corolla with the place on her car where the air bag sensors are located. Her car was a write off because:
- It was a 10 year old Civic not worth much more than $4000.
- Both air bags deployed.
- the Grill, radiator, and bumper was damaged.
- Her hood was slightly buckled.
- The passenger air bag went off with and made a 3 ft. diameter spider web crack on the windshield.
The bottom line is that it is just too expensive for them to fix that car, so they will probably pay her off and raise her insurance premiums. My car sustained a ruined bumper cover and a bumper bracket.
I'm no civic fanboy but I have a 91 civic that I paid $500 for, my mum was driving it and rear ended by a big truck, it tore the front bumper off the truck and looked pretty bad whereas hardly a scratch on my civic and I got a check for $1200 in repair costs! Car still runs good
