Good reason to ban cellphones while driving

My truck was parked minding it's own business and............ Driver reached for his phone going around a corner Worst part is I just put a new sticker to the race on it.

From the looks of the pic that area seems to be very residential area.That coulda just as easily been someones kid.

His car is definitely looking worse than your truck if thats any consilation.

I couldn't. My wife came out to the garage to tell me someone just hit my truck. When I got out front the cops were already there starting to fill out a report.

His car definately got the worst of it. I had to stand on his bumper support so he could push his car out from under my truck. My bumper is tweaked, dented quarter panel on the bed and busted my trailer light hook up. His insurance will probably give me flack about the bumper as it had a dent from someone hitting it last year on the other side. Almost like he aimed for the RP sticker.

After he was gone the lady across the street came out and said she heard it and looked out the window. She told me when he hit the truck his car stalled. He tried starting it again as if to try and leave. She wrote down the plate # and then the police arrived.

He hit it pretty good as the truck was pushed sideways about 3 inches. What a moron.

if ya get it replaced, save as much of the sticker as ya can, so ya can get a transfer from the NPS.
prolly could straighten it out a tad, but it would be fugly.

Thumbs up

I agree with FF. 10 minutes with a wonderbar and you got yourself a new VanStaal!

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

The heck with the bumper - save the sticker. Get out a hair dryer and heat the sucker up. It comes off clean.

thats gotta be the best line of the day.

Sorry to hear about your truck Mac.
Hey at least noone was hurt and the driver will pay for this for sure, no getting out of it.
Most people are very irresponsible with their cell phones.
