Going to the courthouse this morning (F'N Divorce) and traveling on a single lane road that merges into a 2 lane road to make 3 lanes total. We all have our own lane. Just before the "merging" lines on the road turn into a full fledged lane, this stupid chick cuts in front of me and slams on her breaks to make a businesses driveway. No way I could stop in time. Wheels locked up and I slid into her. And she asks, "Where did you come from?" What a way to start the morning......
Both of our cars have modern bumper covers so not much apparent damage to either car. I know there is probably internal damage to the foam or honeycomb within the cover on both of our cars but I'm willing to live with it as is. Nobody was hurt, thank God.
We exchanged insurance info and I took pics of her car bumper, mine and the skids from my car before the legal area of merging. I'm wondering if I should contact my insurance to give them the heads up or wait and see if she makes a claim. I worry that even without a claim made, my insurance rates could go up just by the mere notice that I was involved in an accident and yet I wonder if I should let them know that even though I hit her from behind, she was performing an illegal move. May be important if she does make a claim...
Not sure what to do.
Suggestions?
