It's a new day and I'm back on the car accident or MVA as everyone seems to call it.  I know MVA, Moving Vehicle Accident but come on car accident is the same thing.

My righteous indignation is taking a hit here.  The kid hit me once, not twice.  In fact, the woman in the 3rd card got out and I heard her say, "I thought someone hit me." 

So here we go:  I was sitting north-bound at a stop light at the corner of Vista Ridge Mall and MacArthur in the left hand turn lane.  The traffic going south had gotten the green, including their turn lane.  Our light had just turned and the cars in the three lanes next to me had just started to move move when I glanced into my review mirror in time to see a kid's head looking down in his lap.  He hit me.  I put my car in gear and turned it off when I heard the second impact.  I sat in the car for a minute because I was sort of dazed.  Everyone got out and I walked to the kid in the car behind me.  Kristofer said we should exchange information and handed me his insurance card.  Then the woman came up and made her comment about someone hitting her.

Now the logistics of the cars makes you think something odd happened.  There were easily 4 or more feet between the boy's car and mine but his car and the woman's were close.  We easily walked between our cars to look for damage.  His hood was loose and when I went to use it for a table to write on it actually moved.  My guess is the hinges were broken.  Anyway, he admitted hitting me.

Traveler's Insurance represents Kristofer's dad so they called me and from the beginning until last night admitted the accident was Kristofer's fault.  Last night Claudia called to tell me my car would get fixed but they were not going to do it.  The third car is now responsible.

Here is my dilemma:  If I was only hit once, how does that make it the responsibility of the third vehicle? 

I do not understand why people are always trying to get something by, bend a rule, cheat an insurance company.  What has happened to the integrity of our public?  Sadly, it appears many share a brain and it's not one of the higher thinking brains!

Long live Texas!
