(lol sorry its just a on topic funny haha. if ur offended i'm sure you'll let us know.... thats a kinda joke.. lol ok im done pickin on ya.. lol hope your not too pissed)
Not a chance. :)

Basically, here's where everyone thinks i'm wrong. (just to be clear)

Cars can not emergency stop without smoke/squealing/tire marks. All cars look the same if they are the same brand, no matter the year. It's okay to pull out in front of someone.


and
and what? I think you forgot to finish.

I think the driver of the red jetta was aiming for that open spot.. not many drivers swerve, when in a panic stop situation.. or maybe thats just my favorite.... story?
I hope that gives you some advice lol I don't think you can get her phone records but that would be convenient
And if not her phone records, what was her destination? Was she going up to the signal to turn left or right? If left then it's likely she was hunting for a place to cut in line.

Good points, MEgaTRO :)

She was either speeding or not paying attention, you would just have to find a way to have her admit it."AND!!!!!! "due to the fact that the center lane was stopped 35mph is considered to be an unsafe speed for conditions, so if she admits to doing the speed limit its STILL her fault. Due to "UNSAFE SPEED FOR CONDITIONS"

THANKS MEgaTRO! You gave me some valuable tips that I didn't take into consideration (speed limit vs. cars lined up)! I've already got several "leading" questions to ask the VW and 2 witnesses, thank you for the extra ideas!

I spoke with the one witness yesterday and turns out that she IS the lady in the black SUV that was leaving a space in front of her car for me to pull through! She is actually an insurance adjuster by profession. Her version of the story is in my favor whereas the other lady's isn't. Other lady was the one in the intersection in front of the empty space with her back to what was going on. This is looking good so far.

....ooh! good ones!
...Thank you so very, very much for the statistics you once again provided! I appreciate the time it took to figure them. I will be using this in my defense!

@superduty5.9 who wrote: "Maybe it's just me but I read her posts and looked at her pics and drawings. IT is pretty clear to me. If I were a judge I would rule in your favor." AND "Eva also sounds like she cares about others and is trying to get her city to change traffic at that intersection to avoid other accident or deaths. She should be commended on this."

...Thank you for your support and kind words! I spoke with a police officer yesterday and the police department IS aware of the accidents but I was given the impression that it is more important to allow the cars to line up in the center lane to keep traffic moving! I'm getting a copy of accidents reported from that area from the police department tomorrow. I'm also video taping how precarious it is to exit several of the side streets to turn left on State St. I'll be parked a couple spaces in front of the stop signs. Cars coming East on State have difficulty trying to cross the center lane so that they could go down one of the side streets cause the intersections are blocked 50% of the time with cars in the center lane area. Also, I just heard that accidents happen on a weekly basis at the intersection where the light is because a lot of the time there are cars in the middle of it from all four directions....stuck, just waiting to move! The police department is doing nothing to prevent none of this!

@chads4drhatch ...Thank you for posting the pics!

@Bogs who wrote: "It is not something I would have picked out, having less than no interest in VW cars or even cars made in the last 10 years, to me they pretty much all look the same and I've worked in the car field previously. If I couldn't call it, I sure wouldn't expect someone with even less interest in it than I have to be able to".

...My point exactly! Thank you for all your comments :-)

@Dmitri who wrote: " You need to have a clue about the general evolution of car exteriors over decades."

....If you knew anything about women you would know that MOST women don't follow the general evolution of cars over decades...they pick a car by color! Just ask a car dealer! My knowledge of newer cars is limited cause they do not interest me. I know a lot more about vintage or antique cars. Your expecting me to know about the difference in ALL vehicles throughout the last 10, let alone 30 years is pretty unrealistic and as stupid as if "I" was picking on you for not knowing about the "general evolution" in women's feminine products!

@Dmitri who wrote: "Therefore,the two statements are self-contradictory in your context,and one or both is false." AND " Truth be told, in my industry, I see people do what you do nearly every day, and the innocent suffer for it. It toasts my noggin."

Well...I'm just not going to dignify any more responses to people who's "noggins are toasted" This would explain why you can not understand or follow what is written in the context it is meant or presented.

Lock it if nobody has any other comments that will help 59RamblerWithFins with her case. If she agrees.

I mean suggestions that can be used to show that she was hit 'at what speed' according to the pictures. See post #1.

after reviewing the evidence, 59rambler you do not have enough evidence to overturn the ruling that you are, in fact, at fault or more at fault.
geometroforum court adjourned.

A Geo Metro can get into an accident with a Rabbit and show lots of damage. I'm not talking Volkswagen either :P

There is no way to prove your damage over the internet. This thread is closed.

You are more than welcome to hang out here on this forum as a Geo Metro owner. We can help you get another Metro or offer suggestions on how to fix yours. Thanks for joining us :thumb
