OK, got the police report today. Mike was given a ticket for $10 and
$100 court costs for "Failure to Yield." The woman who hit him claimed
that she was only doing 45 mph and had hit the brakes before she hit
Mike. I'll Post an album of the damages to both vehicles later. BTW
she was cited for driving while her license was revoked. Mike is still
considered totally at fault for the accident.

Geico is refusing to pay us anything for the van. They are going to
replace this woman's car. I feel so frustrated and angry right now.
Please help me get over my anger with this woman and the insurance
system that will reward an illegal driver.

Even though the woman was driving with a revoked license, the woman was
judged to be not at fault. I want to know what she did to lose her
license. The damage to both her Lincoln Town Car and the van is
horrendous. I don't think that she could have been doing only 45 in a
45 at the time of impact. It is a long straight stretch of road. There
is now way that she couldn't have seen Mike and that big white van.
Yes, it was raining, but not heavily. So that shouldn't be an excuse
for her. Again, Please help me get over my anger with this. I upset
Rob and Jim by calling her what I think of her, and I don't usually use
that kind of language.

And don't ask me about the VA and their treatment of Rob lately.

All I can say is I'm trying to send good thoughts your way which is

totally
unhelpful. I don't see how they can do anything for her when she was

driving
without a liscense! I don't get it. I'm very very sorry


Here in OZ, the lady without a licence would have been at fault
automatically, no matter who was 'really' at fault. She would also not be
able to claim a thing from any insurance (any insurance is immediatly valid
if you don't have a licence and/or driving an unregistered vehicle), and
indeed, you'd have every right to sue her for damages. She'd also cop a
horrendous fine as well.

I don't tend to like reccomending lawyers, but I suspect, in this case, you
probably need one. Got any "don't win, don't pay" type lawyers over there?
