And this is why there needs to be driving tests for the elderly

Seems a lot of Cobalt's are getting banged up lately, not good

But but, I just saw that the elderly accident rates are going down according to the news My J body was totaled by an old man who wasn't paying attention. Nailed my passenger quarter panel. Sub frame shifted so far, I had to kick the door open. His wife's response: we didn't see you. You didn't have your headlights on. 7:30pm in mid January in central Pa, you're stupid if you don't have them on. Witnesses said otherwise to her claim.

I completely agree, really anything over 65 should be retested but that would also require extra money spend to have them be tested, current system just doesn't have the capacity.

Also screws the system cause I'm certain if they made it harder to acquire a lisence, it'd screw the auto manufacturer, insurance, government etc. out of revenue and we can't have that.

did the old timer get a ticket?

andrewcarr1993

iTrader: (5)

Not necessarily to get a license but to retain it.

Xmetalhead2003X

iTrader: (3)

Well both I guess. But I'm not trying to jack this dudes thread with a debate. Carry on.

no tickets were issued, it was just an accident, he made a poor decision.

andrewcarr1993

iTrader: (5)

So he'll definitely be 100% at fault then?

kzak104

iTrader: (1)

Don't see why not. Left hand turn yields to oncoming. It wasn't an intersection.

sucky! seems ICBC likes to write everything off 5 years or older now a the drop of a hat, i hope you can get it repaired.

Mr Mall Cop

iTrader: (1)

ICBC likes to take your money but not so willing to give it back

kzak104

iTrader: (1)

ya no kidding, at least i owe less than its worth if it is written off, ill be retaining it tho and parting it, doubt its a writeoff tho.

That sucks but the damage to your car doesnt look to bad

Mr Mall Cop

iTrader: (1)

Yes it wouldn't be to good if you owed more than what they paid you out

Geez. Hope it gets repaired and not written off. I haven't had an accident in about 8 years but have had a couple close calls where the other driver was elderly. I'd like to see some sort of legislation where they are tested more at a certain age but no politician is ever going to enact legislation that may end up putting them out of a job since most old folks vote.

with all of the recent cobalts getting smashed into we should get high visibility flags mounted ontop of our cars. I mean look at how happy that kid is, who's in for a group by?

Xmetalhead2003X

I'd buy one or three of those sweet orange flags. One for the front and back bumper, and the 3rd for the radio antenna.

Doesnt look like there is any structural damage from the pictures, is there any buckling in the a pillars or on the roof? Totaling it out doesnt seem likely but with the way the value is on cobalt's lately, if ones in the best of condition aint fetching too much for insurance.

Id say a new bumper skin, hood, headlight and fender at the minimum. Looks mostly cosmetic.
