Fing people without insurance
Driving down 75 last night from George bush this driver decided he would just come into my lane and side swiped my front end.
He proceeded to hit the gas and try to get away, lost control while doing so, almost side swiped atleast 3 people causing a guy to spin out avoiding him, then he went lateral, slammed into a wall head on right in front of me, skid down the wall and flipped over on it's roof.
Cops show up, three guys in the truck, not one that has id or is a legal citizen, and no insurance of course.
And man those pylons between the hov **** up your car. That's what he pushed me into when he side swiped me.
Here's the pics I took.

The biggest thing though is that my and my gf were ok and no one smashed into the back of us. Could have been worse.
Yea I'm going to need a new hood, hope my fender can be fixed and hoping my bumper can be fixed.
Going to have to buy a brand new headlight assembly for the driver side and hopefully don't need to on the passenger side.

That £%#€ing sux hope something good comes out of it.....try to see who they work for and if that truck is used for work. If so go after the co INS. Thats what I did and it covered due to them on the way home from work and co didn't want the attention about illegals working.

If you can tell they seem to have been coming from work and buckets, hardhats and such fell out the back of the truck so I'm sure they work construction or demolition for someone

If they are illegals, there is nothing you can do. I wouldn't think ANY company would be stupid enough to allow them to be driving their trucks around. Too much liability.
For your sake, I hope they were in a company truck though.
I would have been too pissed off to think of anything but stomping some a$$. I would have been going to jail that night.

They are going after them and going to do whatever possible to make them pay, but I am fortunate enough that we have uninsured driver coverage so $500 deposit and slight increase in rate and it shall be fixed.
And yes my gf was with me, she is also Mexican and we overheard the guy telling the cop what happened and he was even lying and trying to blame me lmao.
Dude if there wasn't 10 cops around I swear my gf was keeping me away from them. I was just soo pissed that I couldn't even think at the time.

Hell if they cant do anything to them since theyre illegal how can the cops do anything to you if you beat some ***? Gotta love double standards. In the city of Austin, some of the contracts Im starting to see require citizenship papers for every worker a sub-contractor uses on site, hopefully that practice becomes more widespread.

Thank GOD for uninsured motorist. I have that too and it's saved me before. I would be in the same boat as you. I would literally want to kill them for hitting me than TRYING to get away. Them lying to the cops would just make it worse. Any idea what the cops were saying to them when they tried blaming you?
My gf translated what they said to me, they tried to say I hit them while they changed into my lane lol, that i had driven into them. Then tried to say that when I hit them their car spun and hit the wall, skidded, and flipped.
The cop told him to go back to the barrier and wait then asked me what happened and basically had already assumed everything I said and told me it was cut and dry. I knew they can't put any blame on me. If you are in a lane and someone hits you changing lanes it's always their fault.

That is very needed. I hope they do.
Well as crappy as a situation this is, the insurance will send an agent out to access the damage and will give me a total. I am very fortunate to have a friend who owns a body shop. So some good will come of this.
