A good friend has an accidnt in Mexico

Be glad your accident was in BC. On Monday I was in Hermosillo. My wife's 2001 Rav 4 needed net tires. The existing tires were 8.5 years old with 90 % tread. But in the Sonora heat old tires explode. Costco installed the tires and I was on my way to PU my wife at a Clinic. In HMO between 1 and 3 pm he traffic is horrible. It is lunch time and most workers go home or lunch. It is crazy because most of the 2 hours is spent in traffic . On my way an idiot ina Ford explorer ran into the back end of the Rav while I was stopped. 3 big yahoos in the car. No plates, no DL and no seguro. I pulled out my phone and was about to call the cops but the 4 of them were having a serious discussion. I think they were going to assault me. I put away the phone and they calmed down. WE could not exchange any info in that traffic so he agreed to follow me the few blocks to the clinic. Of course as soon as it was possible he just took off. Police and the insurance adjuster showed up. Today we went to the body shop used by most insurers. Independent shops do not accept insurance as the companies are slow to pay. Those independents do not order parts. You supply the parts! The shop used by the insurers agreed that the Rav will need a new tailgate/door. But he said that often the insurer wont pay for new. They want the shop to fix it. I am going to have a battle as the body shop agreed that fixing the door would give me bad repair! Sure not like our Government insurance in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and BC!!
