After getting some groceries, and waiting at the stop sign to exit the parking lot of the store onto the street, I saw a minivan hauling ass towards my bumper (way too fast for a parking lot). I was bracing for impact when the driver slammed on the brakes, coming feet short of my bumper. Then after they fully stopped, they accelerated again, driving into my bumper. I got out of my car and asked the woman if she was okay, she said she was but her animal just died and her son really needed to get home. I asked her if she had insurance and she gave me a sigh. Then she said she really had to go but she just lived down the street. I told her I would follow her. When we got to her house, she said, "there's nothing wrong with your car, I'm going inside." I asked her again for her insurance but she just walked on. While the damage wasn't bad, she did put a dent and some scratches on the bumper...
Her husband came out a few minutes later and said he would call me tomorrow and will take care of it. The husband also provided me with insurance information, but asked that I didn't call, and said he would square up first thing in the morning. If the damage was worse I wouldn't have given him the benefit of the doubt, but from the looks of it, it shouldn't cost more than $500 to fix.
...And I have to tell you, I felt bad for this woman, because something seemed seriously wrong.
