Subject: RE: When will it end....



Coldwater, Michigan
Was around Weberville several years back, Guy coming at me hit the corn planter. It was a 4 lane road. I had construction Barrels on my side so had to move to the left. Put my 4 row plot planter over center line. Guy coming at me had 2 open lanes, claims he didn't see me. Wrapped the planter around behind PU and bent truck frame. Planter destroyed.

Police didn't ticket me. The accident report stated I was at fault for being left of center, although I had lights flashing, and no where else to go. Said they realized it was going to become more of an issue with the Ag in the area, with all the growth going on in the area. Said next time we have construction barrels out and you want to transport, give us a call for an escort through town. I asked if they would have done that before the accident. They said "probably not".

So how do you win something like that!?

Neighbor is a policeman here in Coldwater. He said I probably didn't get a ticket because "A sensible judge would have thrown it out, and the fault established in the accident report would have been nullified". This way I wasn't in court so the accident report stood, and my insurance paid the bill, for the guy who hit me!
