Glad it works out Stormy.
My 2nd car got totalled almost 3 years ago when I took a left turn on a t-junction while my light was green and a guy who skipped the red light rammed my car just behind my right rear wheel. The impact was so hard that my car turned 90 degrees and smashed into a big pole on the left rear flank and veered of back on the road.
The guy was driving 90/100 KP/h with his Land cruiser while he also had a trailer attached where 80 kp/h was allowed.
The police reluctantly came while my car was partly blocking the entrance of the industrial area and were complete d*cks. I had to try to push my car out of the way with some help while on of my rear wheels was folded upwards and my axle was broken On top of that they refused to call a tow truck while they had too.
It was quite clear that he was guilty but his insurance company refused to pay because the police had handed in a false report claiming that the stoplights were not functioning and I was in defunct.
Thankfully I had an eye witness who would have been hit while he was making a right turn if I hadn't been making that left turn. He would have been off worse because the jeep would have hit him on the left side where he was sitting and he send an eye witness report claiming that the stoplights were functioning and his and mine were green (he was leaving the industrial area and I was entering it).
So about four/five months later his insurance company finally transferred the money to my bank account.
I tell ya what- I snapped a picture of the car, whole and drivable, today. That jackass has literally no standing.
