Irresponsible DRIVER kept going West on Delmar through a red light! While me and a big truck were turning left at the light! Bastard in a white car (by my eye witness and the white color of the pieces of their front end plastic which broke off!) hit me hard and fast and kept going!
And my Geico Uninsured motorist insurance only covers bodily damage and medical bills, but NOT car repair! That would be Collision insurance! :-(
So good thing I still have my big beautiful Dodge Grand Caravan 2006 with the best sound system ever!

increases because, they tell you, it is more expensive to repair/replace
new cars. Your premiums remain at that rate even though your car's
value is rapidly depreciating. Then if you have a minor accident they
want to write it off saying it will cost more to repair than it's orth.
They pulled that on me a few years ago when my wife had an accident in
our 15 year old Buick. There was a scrape on the driver side door and
front left fender and a crack in the bumper. It was nothing, but they
wanted to write it off, saying the car was only worth $2000. They
offered to me $2500 and I could keep the car. I got ir repaired for
$2000 and got three more years out of it

it's side and into the ditch on an iced road . There was significant
front suspension damage so we elected to let it go and take the payout .
We got full retail value but I don't recall which segment of our
coverage it was listed under . We've had coverage thru State Farm for 50
years except for a short time right after we moved to Tennessee , and
they've always treated me right . A couple of times they have paid me
under uninsured coverage then gone after the other (at fault) driver
and/or his/her insurance company . Allstate on the other hand screwed
me when one of their insured hit me from behind and totaled my Harley -
and nearly totaled me . Dragged it out for years then blamed my problems
on other things that happened during that time . Good Hands my dyin' ass .

might be a good idea for you to do a little research before you start
calling them liars.
Here is one of many sites I found with a few key strokes using the keys
"insurance write off".
https://dulibaninsurance.com/blog/my-vehicle-is-a-write-off-but-i-want-to-keep-it/
"Usually, your insurer will offer a settlement depending on your car’s
actual cash value. Reimbursement is generally less if you decide to keep
the write-off, and higher if you allow the insurance company to keep the
salvaged vehicle. Below are factors that influence the actual cash value
of your car."
There are different types of write-offs. Generally, it is when they
figure the cost of repair is greater than the value of the vehicle. It
could be that the vehicle is irreparable and can only be used for parts.
Ontario is one jurisdiction that has vehicle branding. That involves
specific types of damage or theft.

years. We were driving along and were stuck behind a very slow driver.
It was cleat to pass so he pulled out to go around her, but she suddenly
pulled a left turn. Allstate did not cover my friend because they said
he was at fault. A couple years later I was working with the woman who
had been driving the other car. She said Allstate didn't pay her either
saying she was at fault.

She's got a bunch of traffic/parking tickets that she ignores and is completely uninterested in registering the car or getting safety checks. The times she's been stopped for the safety check, they just let her go. She must be using some kind of redneck psychotherapist mind tricks on the cops.

are you
paying an annual fee because you don't have any insurance?
You said your "uninsured motorist insurance."
That would be a small rider to your liability policy and
very inexpensive. That would help pay for your car repair if
someone else hits you and either runs off (like what
happened to you) or if they did stop but didn't have any
insurance to cover your damage.

No, they won't. Liability insurance (required) provides coverage for
when you're at fault in an accident. Uninsured Motorist provides
coverage for property damage if you're hit by an uninsured driver, not
"hit & run" drivers.
Collision insurance covers exactly what it says: damage due to a
collision. It often includes a provision for car rental while yours is
in the shop. It isn't smart to not have full coverage.
My car was hit in a Walgreens parking lot some years ago. No one fessed
up to hitting it. There was a little old lady who came toddling back
towards me from the store entrance when I saw the damage and let out an
unladylike yell. (She exclaimed "It wasn't ME!" Yeah, right.) The
drivers side door and rear quarter panel were smashed. Collision
insurance covered the body work, paint job and provided me with a rental
car while the work was being done. And since it was an *unwitnessed*
accident, my insurance company (USAA) cut my deductible in half. All I
had to do was d/l an unwittnessed accident report form from the county
Sheriff's web site, fill it out, scan it and email it to the insurance
company.
Most people don't bother to read insurance policies because of all the
gobbledygook; I get that. Here's a hint: the DEC (declaration) pages
included in your policy spell out briefly but succinctly what is covered.

in the shop. It isn't smart to not have full coverage.
My car was hit in a Walgreens parking lot some years ago. No one fessed
up to hitting it. There was a little old lady who came toddling back
towards me from the store entrance when I saw the damage and let out an
unladylike yell. (She exclaimed "It wasn't ME!" Yeah, right.) The
drivers side door and rear quarter panel were smashed. Collision
insurance covered the body work, paint job and provided me with a rental
car while the work was being done. And since it was an *unwitnessed*
accident, my insurance company (USAA) cut my deductible in half. All I
had to do was d/l an unwittnessed accident report form from the county
Sheriff's web site, fill it out, scan it and email it to the insurance
company.
Most people don't bother to read insurance policies because of all the
gobbledygook; I get that. Here's a hint: the DEC (declaration) pages
included in your policy spell out briefly but succinctly what is covered.

That doesn't make sense. If the other driver was uninsured, they
couldn't "go after" that uninsured drivers' insurance company (a process
called Subrogation) to recover their loss.

oversized cases and the boards on then are quite small. They are
rather high is distortion and lower on power. They were good back in
the early 90's when there was just not much else to buy.

run on it. I have an old computer with win XP. It was a damn good
machine in it's day, but will hardly run anything these days. It
has a *double* whammy though .... Outdated XP, but also an AMD
athlon processor that won't execute some opcodes. It served me well
for almost 20 years, though I'm not a brilliant computer engineer
like you.

pair of speakers with a well-known British name. When I read the

who was about 21 at the time and still living with his dad, was riding
his bicycle on a suburban sidewalk when he got hit by a drunk who was
driving a beat up old pickup truck. (The truck jumped the curb and
wound up in someone's front yard.) The guy had no drivers license, much
less insurance. The guy didn't have a pot to piss in. He went to jail
but my brother had to fork out the money to pay for nephew's extensive
medical bills. :(

I've seen that throughout most of Europe, especially in Rome and
Naples. 15 year old boys in Italy were selling their sisters and
mammas.
