Hi all,
I accidentally wrecked my best friend's car (front bumper, side door, etc)... his insurance covers fully the vehicle (it is a new car) and my question is - if his insurance pays for the body shop work - is his rate going to go up since I was the driver?! I cant do that to him ... I am in Southeast Virginia ...
Thanks for your answers in advance,
J.W.

'Professional Victims?' I never heard it out THAT way before. But, I guess it DOES make sense.

You made a wise choice SD. If her family members let her drive the car all the time then she could call them..not bother you. My work is driving me crazy with a similar situation. They hired all Amish except my sister and I. They provise the transportation in a company vechicle..only charging them $1.00 a day for gas. Well half the time the boss is off in this comp;any vehicle for any and every reason and expected me to fit 7 people besides myself in my truck. It took me two trips and practically begging for a return of my gas. My truck was always muddy cause they had no respect on trying to keep their feet on the mats. I just put it to the boss straight this past week. "No company vehicle...no rides."
Stinks being one of two people in the whole place with a drivers license. I am really glad you decided to let her find her own way.

Well.....I see it this way. I busted my backside to have what I have now. I'm not going to have this woman destroy what I have. She can walk like everyone else. She wants to 'sit back' and have things fall in her lap. That's just not reality.

My My I know so many people like that. I love the ones who always bug for a ride but never offer any gas money. I mean why is it okay for me to pay 4 a gallon and not them. I figure most people without a vehicle don't have one for a reason. I can't take on everyone elses issues. I have enough of my own. This woman definately is far off in the reality field.

OMG..yes!! You 'hit it on the head' FIREYONE!!! I din't mind driving her MYSELF, once in a while, but, I sure asked for gas first. If she din't have it, that wasn't MY fault. Then of course..it was MY fault she din;t get to wherever she wanted to go ( see my analogy on this one?) CRAZY PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :roll:

I definately see your point. I hate when something is expected of you. Its like they take away your right to chose if you really want to do it. There is an Amish lady who lives along my way to work. Boss asked me to stop and pick her up. The owner of the company already deducts for gas out of her pay but yet It isn't costing him anything since I am doing the picking up. I think with gas prices the way they are everyone is looking for a little relief. I can't help but feel she could chip in a couple dollars a day (carpool idea here) towards the gas. If it was only a dollart a gallon I wouldn't expect even that but with what it is now it would help me. My husband and his buddies started taking turns driving and it helps a little. I just think it would at least be conciderate of her to offer.
