OK so last night at about 12:30am i was driving down this windy hill and some douche comes bombing up it and gets into my lane and our sideview mirrors collide and shatter. I drive to the bottom of the hill to turn around, then drive up again to go talk to him. I get there and hes no where to be seen. So i call the cops, report it, they get back to me with nothing. Dont have plate numbers or anything, cause it was dark and pissing rain.

Looks like im going to have to pay an insurance deductable cause this stupid fucking cunt peaced off.

Anyone have any experience with hit and runs and ICBC insurance?

Sorry friend... That sucks.

Think about if its going to be worth placing a claim because it could be a fairly inexpensive part to fix, and the payments could go up a considerable amount. Good luck. Do your research and think it through.

sounds like you're probably gonna be stuck with paying for it. call your insurance company and tell them what happened, but i think its unlikely without any way to verify what went down. good luck!

That sucks and is really shitty, but on windy slopes, the car going uphill has the right of way (at least in California) So any accident is usually labeled as the person going downhills fault. It's one of those things that is really hard to prove, so if he had stopped and been like, dude you hit me... The insurance would have made you pay for your stuff and his stuff. (Again, this is in CA).

Check and see about your state and see if the insurance thing is the same. Maybe he did you a favor.

Still sucks though, sorry. I hate when I come out to my car and see a dent or something wrong and no one left a note. People suck sometimes.

dude, side view mirrors are fairly cheap to replace. (on most cars) id look in to prices before you file a claim...especially if you have a high deductible. what kind of car do you have? powered mirrors? do they have any of that high tech electronic anti glare stuff, etc?

try and get one used somewhere, much cheaper. They usually try to make you get a whole new mirror not just the casing, see what you can do

Shitty deal. But seriously, both of you could have died so easily. Head-ons are not to be fucked with.  I would defs find a scrap yard and replace it yourself. You'll defs save money in the longrun.

how much is your deductible? search for the mirrors on google. you can probably do it yourself if youre mechanically inclined. or if you have a friend that is... see which route is cheaper bro.
