[replyingto=domindart]domindart[/replyingto]you don't necessarily need insurance if you could show proof of financial responsibility but you're always supposed to have it with you. look at that you learn something new everyday

I was in an accident earlier today. traveling south on a 2 lane road approaching an intersection with cars going north in the turning lane turning west I had the green and as i got closer to the intersection one of the cars decides to make a turn so i let off the gas the car turns no big deal and the next one just waited till i got closer when there was nothing else i could do and pulled out a little bit in front of me and just stopped so i slammed on my brakes and braced for impact as soon as the scooter hit the van i vaulted over the handle bars and landed on the hood smashing into the windshield and breaking it with my shoulder. I wasnt going all that fast probably in the 20 something mph range so Im all right and the windshield absorbed most of the impact i just got a little scratch on my shoulder no big deal but I have no insurance and no proof of financial responsibility. It happened in a different state than i live in where the scooters registered and where im licensed. I know big mistake I should have had proof with me but im pretty sure im all good because the person who hit me knew it was their fault admitted it and was really nice about the whole thing the first thing on my list to do now is to get insurance or proof of financial responsibility. Next i would like to get some repairs done to my scooter or at least get some money so i could fix it myself the only thing I got from the police was a crash report information form that says me and my insurance company must complete an operators proof of insurance /crash report form within 10 days and if I need a copy of the crash report it will cost $10 and it should be available within 24 hrs from when it happened and that failure to return the report will result in suspension of my license and or registration which I dont think will happen unless it gets reported to my home state. So now Im looking or advice or suggestions on what to do now. Thanks in advance for any help.

Can't recommend riding drunk... or stoned... or while texting.

www.nhtsa.gov/people/outreach/traftech/1995/TT094.htm About one fifth of the decisions to drink and drive come from within the individual. These Personal Influences ranged from drinkers' need for relaxation to the desire to "get wasted." Often, the desire to maintain whatever feeling had already been achieved influenced decisions to keep on drinking. One of the chief influences upon the decision to drive impaired was simply a person's failure to recognize or admit that they were under the influence of alcohol.
