So Tuesday afternoon I was hungover was fug after New Years and I went to go get a bite to eat it was rainy outside and at a stop light my car hydroplaned as I was breaking and nudged the back of the car of the person in front of me. The only damage on her car was a tiny scratch that isn't even really noticeable. But apparently now she wants a whole new back bumper because of it. This is the first accident I've ever been at fault for so how much do you think my insurance will go up because of this?

Doesn't matter what she wants. It only matters what your insurance will pay for and if they think they can get away with a paint job...

...regardless, you did rear end her. A lot depends on how long you've been driving, how long you've been with your current insurance company, etc.

Basically you will now have a "1" in the rating system for at fault accidents. How much your rates go up will depend on your companies rating system which is based on lots of variables. One at fault accident may be offset by your good driving record. Some companies don't raise rates for 1 claim.

Or your rates may go up by 50%. It's so company specific that it is hard to give a number.

While there may have been no visible damage, bumpers usually have a piece of dense foam to absorb the impact. If this is damaged, which it is made to do, then it will need to be replaced. The next time they get hit they wont have that protection and the damage will be considerably more...

At least this is what was told to me when some jackleg ran into the back of my wife's car a few days ago....

Wait... Where did you say this happened??

      A pretty insane QB stat

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I think evaluating QBs making the transition to the NFL is just a lot harder and more nuanced than draftniks make it out to be. That and the rookie wage scale means that if you don't have a franchise QB on the roster and you think this guy might be one you're almost forced to draft him now that you're protected from giving that guy a future HOFer type contract before he ever plays an NFL down. The expectation for mist of these guys to play right away is also not helping IMO.

      Plenty of good teams made it to Super Bowls and some even won with meh QBs. Takes solid defense, good offensive planning and play calling and a helluva lot of magic. And I think the great QB elevating a team thing is overplayed too much. History just doesn't bear it out. Sure, it can lift a moderately good team like Mahomes did with the Chiefs, or Hurts did with the Eagles. And one can argue about Brady and the Pats (or even Bucs) but if you look at those Patriot and Buccaneer teams... there was something very solid in place already.  Heck, the whole idea that a single player can make or break an NFL team is vastly overplayed. The Cowboys have had a roster full of "star" players for decades now and have gotten bupkus in return. The Raiders have chased everything they could and have floundered mightily. The Giants have had star after star and nothing.  It's just hard to sell posters of a team. Give the marketing people a star though...

      Seems you found the "exception" to the OP. Eli wasn't actually drafted by the Giants. But that's the only team he ever played for since he refused to go to San Diego.
