I had just taken the off ramp in traffic about a year and a half ago and there was traffic so I was sitting still just waiting for it to move.
In my rare view mirror I see a van take the exit and know immediately that he's going too fast to actually be paying attention, so either he's going to hit me or he's going to have to stomp on the breaks.
To make matters worse, I can see him yapping away on one of those nextel chirp phones that contracters love to hold up to their face and yell into rather than just using it like a damn phone, but that's besides the point.
He bumps into me of course, and I get out to check the damage. He managed to bend my bumper a little bit but it's not bad.
I ask him for his info and he starts giving me his stuff and telling me at the same time that he sees no damage. I tell him, you think my bumper was that way before you hit me?
He says I don't know, how do I know you're telling the truth?
At that point I pretty much lost my ****. This idiot hits ME and then has the balls to call me a liar? Meanwhile the bafoon was on his phone.
By the time the whole thing is over I just told him to get the **** out of there, because I don't want to deal with all this ****. There was traffic all over the place and no shoulder so we were just sitting in the middle of the road.
I regret everyday that I didn't make his life hell, actually and take it to his insurance.

Several months ago I was taking one of our vehicles to be inspected. A car was making a left turn into a driveway just past an intersection so I stopped. A car tried to beat a yellow light (I watched it in the side mirror) and hit me from behind, barely pushing me forward. I was in a 15 passenger van (I coach three sports and Odyssey of the Mind so the van works for us as an extra vehicle) plus was standing on the breaks so I barely moved forward, just kissing the bumper of the car in front.
I received three phone solicitations and five by mail from lawyers. Thought nothing of it as the car owner's insurance paid the $387 for my back bumper damage and it was a very minor "accident".
Last week I get a supoena. I live in a smaller area and know all the judges so I make a few calls and find out that there's a six figure lawsuit from the car in front of me.
If there were eggs on my front bumber, half of them wouldn't have broken but the person in front of me couldn't say "NO" to the dollars signs.

It's pretty hard to say what people thought about a question that wasn't outright asked on a topic that's delicate to begin with an political in nature.
*I* think Cajun's implication was 'was the driver hispanic.' That's fairly clear from context. That's not, however, the same thing as 'was the person an illegal alien.'
What's more, his intent for asking if the person were hispanic could have been uncharitable toward hispanic drivers, or it could have been an allusion to the illegal alien conversation in a previous thread, or it could have been (how I took it, at least before reading the prior thread) just a hat tip to the issues AZ has right now and an acknowledgement that the touchy issue of an insurance fraud incident would be all that much touchier if the driver were hispanic in the current climate.
Either way, his unasked question was a far cry from anything racially insensitive or inappropriate, so I thought I'd stick up for his post in case anybody is particularly determined to misconstrue the topic on purpose.
A side note: I was born and raised in AZ, and I understand some of the issues there in a way many do not. I'm sensitive to the unfair and uninformed criticism Arizona gets on this topic.

Thing is Hostile, a person can have a serious neck injury with no air bag being deployed, you don't know if the person has any type of arthritis, or any past neck problems. So to assume that it's a scam just because minimal damage and no air bags is wrong IMO... That being said with how people are now days I can understand why you'd think it was a scam...
