Oh he drifted into you at a hill cause his truck was a manual transmission right? In Maryland thats your fault, Yup your fault. The police say you were following too closly to avoid an accident.
How do I know? Simply I drifted into a woman in a Cadillac in my Cavi and smashed her grill and headlight. When the cops came she told them what happened he looked and saw my car was a 5 spd and he told her it was her fault. She flipped out! It was great!
But yeah dude your most likly at fault I'm sorry to say.

99% sure they're gonna look at it as you were behind him so its your fault. Sucks I know but I've been there and done that.

yea. i hope it doesnt happen but its in the back of my mind. i could see his rear tires and thats what i believe the general rule is about stopping behind someone. so hopefully this guy doesnt fight

I think Washington state law is that when you stop you must be able to see the bottom of their tires on the ground. Also I think their is something about if the person rolls back a certain amount ... maybe 3 to 5 ft that theyre at fault... but good luck man.

most of that should buff out, i accidently reversed into a fence in my old cobalt and left a bunch of scuffs on it. your dealer might charge you, but i showed my dealership and they just buffed it out no charge, lol.

Yeah theyll buff that down and maybe add some bondo to smooth it out. I was in a wreck and a nice portion of the side of my front bumper got rubbed off. They fixed it and it looks as good as new.
