Moderators Psychorugby Posted May 29, 2013 Moderators Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Jesus man! I am soooooo sorry to see this. The video of your car in the parking garage is on my list of favorites. I know all well how you feel. My mom got broadsided by a car that ran the red light, and she got the ticket for failure to yield to oncoming traffic. My dad was able to get the timing on the lights in order to prove the other driver ran the light, but I think the real reason they won was because FHP gave my dad the knowing look and left the courtroom right before the hearing.Side note: I work for the company that owns the U Pull and Pay over on Jet Stream.

Jeremy95GT Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 I don't understand people in the world today, its like they don't comprehend the ammount of money and time you put in that car and even if it was a stock v6, who cares? It was your car, and for someone to say that kinda stuff to you shows their lack of maturity and lack of just being a caring human being in general, just don't let it bother you, keep it moving and it will hopefully all work out In the end and you can have something even more cool.

Number Tew Posted June 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Well, I have some bad news. It looks like no matter how we fight it, there's no way of proving she ran the light. I broke down and bawled this morning when my parents were talking about it I guess the plan from here is get mustang number tew, and have at it. Swapping all my good stuff over, I'll probably go ahead and pull the dash and change the heater core, and swap all the a/c components, etc. Do it right, do it once. I won't be able to get it painted prior to driving it, so it will take me a while to get the whole car painted up. But o well, I drove a terribly ugly one for a while before, guess I can do it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SVTurbo 98 Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Why did you get the ticket? If you have witnesses you should have the upper hand in court I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Tew Posted June 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Insurance is probably going to give me a whopping $4300 I got the ticket because I was being discriminated by the police for being a younger guy in a mustang. Every ounce of evidence points to her running the light, while speeding. The more I think about it, the more I feel like her headlights were not on. Which is strangely coincidental to the fact that her lights were off after the accident. She was in a mustang, so she would have had to turn them off. Likely story. My witness is not credible because he is my friend =/ Same thing with the person in the car with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVTurbo 98 Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 If you feel like you weren't at fault I would definitely try to fight the ticket in court. I'm not a lawyer or anything but I don't see how a judge wouldn't listen to your friends if they are under oath....it just doesn't make any sense to me. I think at the very least you could get the ticket thrown out especially since there is no evidence of you doing anything wrong- - - Updated - - -I would also fight with your insurance company lol.

Number Tew Posted June 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 I still want to try to fight the ticket, so we'll see. But pinning all of the blame on her won't be so easy, unfortunately I think I have found a non-running new edge shell I can get for about $700. I can transfer all my junk over to it, as well as go ahead with the MM k and coil overs, and probably finish my rear with the 4.10s. Gonna see if I can hit that 13.5 n/a making it one of the fastest n/a 6 cylinders in the country. And side note, my motor would be gone if it was a v8, being a v6 it was tucked far enough back I think it's ok Trying to look at the positives.

Steve@CJPP Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Yeah fight that, they have ways to determine how fast she was going and someone had to see it I can't believe there was no one that saw it unfold.

Moderators Psychorugby Posted June 3, 2013 Moderators Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 There are ways to prove she ran the light. My dad did it when my mom was broadsided. The city (a) has records of what time the lights were what color and the length of time for each color, and (b) just about every intersection Tampa (I'm sure Orlando as well) has a traffic camera from which you could subpoena footage. You also run the chance of the cop not showing up in court, which will at the very least get your ticket dismissed. This also happened to my mom who got the ticket in her accident for failure to yield to oncoming traffic.As to the discrimination... been there. When I was in high school, I hit a lady who was making an illegal left hand turn out of a blind parking lot (hence, no left turn there). Turned out she was pregnant, and rightfully got attention first from the cop, but he never even asked how I was doing or my side of the story. The cop told me I had more bug damage to the front of my car than hitting her caused. He didn't even issue her a ticket. I know for a fact this guy got suspended for his actions since we had friends in the department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95riosnake Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 That is total bullshit.I wouldn't take that lying down, I would fight it until there was no hope because there's no way that you should bend over for this. Clearly there's some kind of chip on the officer's shoulder, what an asshole. You should be at no fault whatsoever if the dumbass ran the red light, like has been said above there has to be some sort of footage available, or even other witnesses. Nobody other than your friends and the woman who hit you were questioned by the police? I find that hard to believe, I've seen police question people nearby during accidents many times, not just the ones involved in the accident.

Number Tew Posted June 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Well, she is suing me, so it's about to get hairy now. She had a witness that was a couple football fields away that says she had the green, and then one guy that said he was turning left there, yet he was stopped. If his/her light had been green, why wasn't he moving? Was he waiting for oncoming traffic? If so, they would have hit me. every bit of evidence points to her running the light. Though, I see now that I have the police report, the officer didn't listen to me at all. I said we collided, and my car stopped in the intersection, well, he wrote my final position as where the fire department had pushed it to, which was all the way through the intersection, on the side of the road. Although the officer made note of the big puddle where my radiator poured out. In the case of saying I ended up there, I could see it looking like I blew the light, but that's not the case. Who the hell runs a red light at 20 mph anyways. If you are going and the light turns yellow and you can't stop in time, you drop the hammer. I was at the very bottom of 2nd gear. So, we have lawyered up, going to meet with him on Friday, the ticket will be thrown out pretty easily. I'd be fine if the rest of the suit was just dropped, her insurance covers her, mine covers me. No suing. I hate money hungry people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
