Wrapping It Up...

[madrobins]

When we last heard from our car insurer, they had preliminarily determined that I was 90% responsible for the crash that took out our old car, and the other person was 10% responsible. This did not seem right to me. At the time of the accident there was a woman walking her dog across the street who witnessed the whole thing, but in my state of post-accident addledness, I didn't get her last name or whole phone number (my handwriting from that day was...um...erratic. Wonder why?). So we put up signs around the dog-walk area saying "Hi, if your name is Alma and you were walking your dog here on February 9, please call."

And she did, bless her. The investigators talked to her. Today we got another form letter in the mail:

We have completed our initial investigation and have determined, the driver of your car was responsible for 10% and other factors and/or drivers contributed 90%. Our investigation has revealed the driver of your vehicle due caution for backing a vehicle into the roadway. The other driver was speeding recklessly and did not take due caution in approaching the backing vehicle. That backing vehicle was already in motion.

The angels, and our insurance rates, rejoice. I feel weirdly vindicated.
