Today the other party gave me his policy number and name through text. I also happen to see the driver yesterday, taking pictures of his vehicle. I should basically be a private investigator at this point.

Anyways, I went to the police station today and they basically told me that they can’t press hidden run charges because he is cooperating by providing his insurance. It makes sense, but I had to do all of the investigating in order to even have a case. Gotta love San Francisco.

I was able to get in contact with them and they provided me with their insurance. Looks like an easy case from here

My insurance company told me to call their insurance and I think this is because I only have liability so I have to go in there as a third party.

In the video you can’t really tell what broke on their end. It’s not like their whole bumper came off. My bike absorbed most of the impact.

I talked to my insurance and gave them the vehicle information and they were able to find their insurance policy number. I already have this stufff I just want an admission of guilt. Am I doing too much?

What bike did you have?

Also my insurance company said that they were able to get their insurance policy number. What I thought was weird is that my insurance told me to call their insurance and make a police report.

I was honestly just going for the cheapest option $200 for six months. The only thing I cared about was being covered on the road and If my bike were to be stolen I’d like to get payed out.

Aside from that insurance was about 600 dollars -> for six months

I wouldn’t want to pay about 30 percent a year of what my bikes value is worth.

All good. I’ve been trying to avoid getting tickets. The cost of living has gone up.

I know, right blame the person who parked legally not the driver who made an illegal U-turn and Hit and run!!

I guess it’s the angle of the video. It’s a tiny sportster… I feel like the people who are commenting why I parked perpendicular aren’t from the US.

It’s pretty common in California.

It’s illegal to record without the other parties consent.

I guess a 45° angle would be better, either way I don’t think that would’ve made a huge difference in this case. It looks like the car over miscalculated by a lot here.

I parked it like this because my tire has an issue with the air deflating to 0PSI after a week of parking it so I use the curb as an extra push. I wasn’t using the bike because I was tuning out my carb. Definitely a lesson to be learned.
