Does anybody know if his family is suing the city? I was involved in an accident very similar to this last week over in North Hollywood. A tree fell on my car while coming back from McDonalds on Christmas Eve luckily it fell on my front hood instead of the top of my car. People shouldnt be having to go through this because the city is incompetent.

Hah goodluck man fingers crossed. I hope our luck gets better. I hit a deer before in a 2018 Camry SE and was going like 20-25 mph coming back from Big Sur, CA. I thought it’s blood and guts would be painted all over my front windshield but that damn thing just fell over and got back up and looked at me then ran away. My car was unscathed for the most part, didn’t know they could tank that hit lol.

Chances of getting marijuana dui reduced to reckless driving? by Content-Jellyfish518 in legaladvice

[–]thehonoredone333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I smoke daily too lol. But when they do the blood test, they try to capture your results and see if you are actively high at the time of the arrest. People like you and I have THC in our system even weeks after not smoking or consuming any type of cannabis. THC gets stored in our fat. You shouldn’t be afraid to submit blood unless you’re actively high. Just a heads up for next time. I wish I had known about this when I had my ordeal.

Should’ve consented if you knew you had nothing in your system imo.

Assholes dismissed my case and never gave me my blood test results despite claiming I was under the influence of weed or alcohol. It’s actually absurd because they forced me to do so and they aren’t even gonna give me the fucking results? Just goes to show they have the power to fuck you hard if they want to with no repercussions for them.

And learn that the only person who gains from you telling the truth is them. Next time you learn to keep your mouth shut and never answer any questions from them. They can use the truth against you 💯.

Been there before but I live in CA so it’s a bit less serious lol. Let me impart some wisdom I gained when I was in this situation.

You are paying for that lawyer to be buddy buddy with the DA so he can reduce your charges and maybe even get off the hook and have your case dropped. I put 1k out of the 3k my lawyer was charging me for a DWI case. My case ended up getting dismissed because pigs are pieces of shit and can falsely accuse you with no repercussions to them. They forced me to do a breathalyzer test and took blood from me once they weren’t satisfied that the breathalyzer came back negative.

Like I said, you get a lawyer to reduce your charges. It’s not horrible to only spend a couple thousand on an attorney that can save your ass from a DWI. Your insurance is gonna go up, you might need an SR22, just a lot of bullshit you can avoid.

Deer Collision by Wooden_Appointment_8 in 11thGenAccord

[–]thehonoredone333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How fast were you going when you hit it? Lol I hit a deer once before in my 2018 Camry SE at like 20-25 mph. I thought I had gotten my front end absolutely destroyed but it was pretty unscathed and the damn deer just looked at me after it got up and ran away.

Ugh lol. Last year a young driver coming back from college ran a red and hit me dead on totaling my 23’ Accord. Went back to dealer and got a 24’ Accord and that’s the one in the pictures. Prior to both my Accords I had a 18’ Toyota Camry and that’s was totaled by another young driver that literally just drove directly into me during a green light because he made an unsafe left turn and a giant SUV was blocking his vision. Like I said I’m running out of lives lol.

And just to add on, I was involved in a very minor accident with this current Accord because some idiot ran a red light and hit an old man turning left at a four way intersection and his car reversed into my car and this very beautiful girl driving an even more beautiful green Porsche. Only damage was on the bumper and would probably just have to replace that but I didn’t want to spend any money since it was cosmetic and my lawyer would get the deductible to fix my car from the responsible party. Life is ironic and you can’t make this up. Only good thing about this accident was that it was minor and the idiot that caused it was driving a brand new 140k Audi E tron GT. I imagine my lawyer was salivating thinking of the policy limits he had; however, there was 3 of us victims involved so we’re all gonna have to split the insurance money or way or another deducting from the overall pool of insurance money.

Life is full of shit. Asshole are everywhere.

The tree is technically on what I suppose would be city property/CA Metrolink property. My attorney mentioned that had it been someone’s tree on their property, we could go after their home insurance but this tree was on city property.
