takker got into a fenderbender

[Takker]

there was more damage to the front of my car than to the back of his (I hit the little thing that holds spare tires). I was inching up behind him and I went to put on the brakes and my foot slipped off them somehow and my car kept going. :( so now my dad is making me go to court, so that I can hopefully get this ticket dropped and off my record. problem was, it was my fault, so how am I supposed to plead not guilty?

has anyone been in court for shit like this? nobody expects the guy to come, because his insurance will be able to cover it, but if he does, what happens then? and even if he doesn't come, and I plead not guilty, will they ask me what happened?

hooray for first offenses :(

[BreadObama69]

Your dad is making you go to court?!

That seems a little severe...

[Takker]

my dad is PISSED. I'm required to pay everything from all this. and my car's hood is slightly raised in one spot. it's not required to fix it, but he's making me fix it anyway just so I can pay for that too. I also now have to get a job because I don't have enough money in my bank account.

also, I have to go to court alone.

[KLEIN]

yeah

usually you'd want to settle out of court, because insurance is probably bad when you make real claims. Unless it's a lot of money for repairs.

Congratulations on rear-ending someone new, though.

[BreadObama69]

I don't know much about this system here... so.. . you got a ticket...ok.. you yourself admit that the accident is your fault... does your dad want you to get the ticket off your record so you'll have lower insurance costs?

Is it possible to just apologize to the guy who's car you hit, and settle without all the ticket/court business?

Sorry, I'm asking questions instead of giving answers, I'm not sure how that whole thing works...

[Takker]

I don't know, I just hope the guy doesn't show up. he should have no reason to, since his insurance will fix everything. I'm guessing it's MAYBE about 400-500 dollars at the most for him.

[exemplary citizen]

Yeah, your dad's being a tard. It's not worth it to go to court over this, and having one piddling little ticket for low-speed rear-ending somebody isn't going to jack up your insurance enough to make it worth going up against that guy's insurance, who might turn around and sue you for his deductable if they feel like you're being a big enough asshat about denying it.

Tell your dad to go suck an egg.

[BreadObama69]

So... at the scene of the accident, did you speak with this guy?

[Takker]

I don't know much about this system here... so.. . you got a ticket...ok.. you yourself admit that the accident is your fault... does your dad want you to get the ticket off your record so you'll have lower insurance costs?

Sorry, I'm asking questions instead of giving answers, I'm not sure how that whole thing works...
yeah, and so the ticket gets dropped. but that will only happen if the other guy doesn't come. and I don't really know. I've never hit anyone before.

also: yes, I spoke with him. luckilly he was very nice and so were the cops. I was pretty upset.

[Charnye West]

:( Sorry, Takker. I've put off driving just for this sort of reason.

[Takker]

Yeah, your dad's being a tard. It's not worth it to go to court over this, and having one piddling little ticket for low-speed rear-ending somebody isn't going to jack up your insurance enough to make it worth going up against that guy's insurance, who might turn around and sue you for his deductable if they feel like you're being a big enough asshat about denying it.

Tell your dad to go suck an egg.
I don't think there is a deductable, because we both have allstate.

[BreadObama69]

If he was a nice guy, he'll probably let his insurance cover it... so you'll only have to pay for the damage to your car?

I'm not sure if I'm giving him too much credit.

[Spleenazor]

If your ticket requires you to make a court appearence, then no, you cant settle it out of court. but dont worry, traffic court is nothing. when they say 'court' they really mean little room with a desk and two chairs and a judge. thats it, no pedestal or chair you have to testify on, no jury, no laywers, just you and the judge. It makes it a lot easier to explain your case and get done. Its over in about 5 minutes too.

BUT FIRST I NEED SOME MINOR DETAILS PLEASE:
was there a ticket involved given to you by a uniformed police officer, or is he (the citizen) taking you to court?
because if the cop doesnt show for a ticket he wrote, you win automatically.
if its a case betwenn you and the man, and he doesnt show, you win.

youll win if nobody shows, and honestly, chances are good that the cop wont show.

EDIT:
sorry, I started writing this before all those other poeple gave you good input, so yeah...ummm

[Takker]

well, the thing is, I'm NOT required to make a court appearence. I could just fill out the report, plead guilty and send in 75 dollars and be done with it, but then it goes on my record.

if I go to court, plead not guilty and the guy doesn't show, then it gets dropped off my record and I lose the ticket. I have to ask our insurance guy what will happen then.

the ticket was given to me by a cop, and I'm going to court just because my dad called my uncle who is a cop. he told him that I should go to court, so now I have to.

[BreadObama69]

well, you only need to go through the trouble if the guy shows up...

maybe you could devise a way to make sure that doesn't happen.

'cause I'm pretty sure a murder rap is less severe than auto trouble.

[Takker]

well, you only need to go through the trouble if the guy shows up...

maybe you could devise a way to make sure that doesn't happen.

'cause I'm pretty sure a murder rap is less severe than auto trouble.
nobody expects him to show.

anyway, if I plead not guilty to the judge, with the guy not there, do I have to explain myself or do they just go, "okay whatever, he's not here, bye."? that's what I'm worried about, because how do I prove that I "didn't do it"?

[BreadObama69]

I don't think they would need for you to explain, if he doesn't show, than it's your victory by default... they probably don't care really what happened, these guys are busy.

It's like only one side coming to the battlefield.

[KLEIN]

you can't.

It's your fault. His back, your front. Why would you risk pleading not guilty? You shouldn't get a police record anyway.

[Takker]

I hope not.

but if the guy DOES show, then I can't really say anything
you can't.

It's your fault. His back, your front. Why would you risk pleading not guilty? You shouldn't get a police record anyway.
even the cop told me I could plead not-guilty and get the ticket dropped so long as the other guy didn't press charges.

[BreadObama69]

Well, if she got a ticket Klein, doesn't that start a record for her?

[HappySilly4Doom]

This part of reason why I have a phobia of driving... another is that I would be responsible for my doom!
^ n ^

Also, I think it's mean and insentive of Takker's father not to support her. This was her first mistake (and It happens to everyone) she doesn't have all the legal advice in the world & she needs support. I don't have any legal advice but I'm sorry you're in this position and I hope all this ends well for you.

*smiles and hugs*

[Takker]

he's nicer now, but I still have to go to court and pay for everything. at least he's not yelling at me anymore...

[HappySilly4Doom]

Well, that's good!

*smiles*

[Forever Finite]

that's pretty ghey.

if i were you, i would just tell my father that i got a ticket for something i did and it's part of the consequence of having an accident. then it would be up to him to accept your decision and give you the time to make enough money to pay him back for the car repairs.

[MST3Kakalina]

Yeah, your dad's being a tard. It's not worth it to go to court over this, and having one piddling little ticket for low-speed rear-ending somebody isn't going to jack up your insurance enough to make it worth going up against that guy's insurance, who might turn around and sue you for his deductable if they feel like you're being a big enough asshat about denying it.

Tell your dad to go suck an egg.
i got dropped from my car insurance for rear ending someone.

i just clipped the the rear passenger bit of her car, and crunched up the driver's side headlight and the front quarter panel of mine (Fox saw the damage) and they dropped me. not because i got a ticket though (which was only for "following too closely" and just like, $75).

[exemplary citizen]

Did you have comprehensive, or just liability?

damn, that sucks...there was no visible damage to the guy's car though. he even opened his trunk just to make sure it wasn't jammed, and it opened fine. he didn't even have a scratch. I hit his tire thing directly. now my car, the grill is cracked and I have a dent in the middle of the hood, which pushed parts of the hood upwards. it still opens and closes though, so that's good.

[MST3Kakalina]

Did you have comprehensive, or just liability?
fucked if i know, parents took care of all that crap (yeah, i'm a spoiled kid, but the car is a 10 year old junker Toyota so it balances out).

all i know is...we just saved a bunch of money on our car insurance by switching to Geico.

[BreadObama69]

hahaha

[MST3Kakalina]

except i'm actually serious.

they dropped my dad too (he rear ended a big truck 18 wheeler thing and kinda really fucked up the car). and Geico was the only place that would take us since we've had accidents in the last 5 years(!!).

[BreadObama69]

Well, kudos to Geico.

Good to know they do have a service that may forgive their saturation of the TV ad market.

Though they do rank among the more enjoyable commercials out there...

[Takker]

what's nice about our insurance guy is that he's my grandma's cousin, or something. so he knows our family and stuff. it makes me feel better talking to him.

[BreadObama69]

You know the insurance guy, your uncle's a cop...

you got connections, sweat pea.

[Takker]

my cousin Eric is a cop too.

I wish my other cousin was a mechanic so I could get my car fixed for a discount. we need two things in our family: a mechanic and a plumber. we're hoping my cousin David picks one since he's not going to a "real" college. but his dad said something about HIM being a cop too. wtf?

[BreadObama69]

does your family have a big law enforcement background?

mine has law enforcement AND military, and my dad expects to go into one, the other or both.

and I'm totally not cut out for that.

[Takker]

apparently, since everyone wants to be a police officer. it's weird.

my aunt is a nurse, so we get free antibiotics and stuff. that's fun. and my cousin Greg does computers, my uncle is an electrician and the rest of us are either obscure or art related. my cousin Anthony (I have a lot of cousins...) is making buisness cards/letterheads/envelopes for my dad's new buisness in exchange for cases of beer.

you could do that Kane. <i>free beer</i>

[BreadObama69]

tempting, but not as much as those free antibiotics you're so fond of.

I mean I could use those in the army.

[Takker]

hahaha. my aunt will give my dad a big bag of them, since he's gets sinus infections a lot, and he'll search through to find all the matching ones and then take them.

RESPONSIBLY, OF COURSE.

[BreadObama69]

naturally... would anything happen if you abused antibiotics though?

You might become so healthy your immune system will cease to function on principle.

if I were in your family I'd be riding that penicillin.

hard

[Takker]

awww yeeaaah.

and when we play white elephant at Christmas (everyone brings sevral wrapped gifts and you can either unwrap one or take someone elses and give them a wrapped gift from the pile) she puts in crazy shit like, home prostate examinations, and viagra.

[BreadObama69]

holyshit, seriously?

that would weird me out a little bit.

and make me feel a little good

if you used either of those products you would turn into a boy.

i'm telling you, it's true.

[Takker]

well last year, my little brother got the prostate exam kit. he was like, 12. l.o.l.

one of the older kids got the viagra a few years back.

[BreadObama69]

your granma gives out free viagra.

psssh.

no wonder you have so many cousins.

[Takker]

I have 16 :)

[BreadObama69]

that you KNOW of.

that smilie says it all.

for all we know the woodwork of your house is filled with junior takkers.

[Takker]

that explains why the walls are always making noises...

and here I thought it was ghosts :robot:

[BreadObama69]

you know there's talks of making plan b available over the counter.

it doesn't have to be like this anymore.

[Takker]

praise tha lawd!

[BreadObama69]

yes, He's fulfilled your desire to be able to fornicate with little to no guilt.

not like you had any before.

[Takker]

no comment.

[BreadObama69]

yeah, I know your kind.

attack of the takkers.

[Takker]

we need to be hunted to control the population. :(

[BreadObama69]

and yet you seem to never have a problem with raising it back up again.

curious.

I shall continue to investigate.

[Takker]

<i>go to the lighthouse at midnight on the first full moon...</i>

[BreadObama69]

and what shall I find, o wise one?

[Takker]

blue's clues

[BreadObama69]

fuck, I only listen to magenta.

[Takker]

haha then you'll never solve the murder mystery!

[BreadObama69]

this plot is thickening way too quickly!

I must have neglected to stir it when I took it off the stove...

[Takker]

it's boiling over! :takker?!:

[BreadObama69]

this is all YOUR fault.

[Takker]

I was busy watching the kids and it was YOUR turn to cook!

[BreadObama69]

I'm sick of you using the twins, and your disease as EXCUSES.

[Takker]

you know what? YOU KNOW WHAT?! I'm moving back in with my parents! they told me you were no good!

[BreadObama69]

If you take one step out that door, ONE STEP you're NEVER coming back.

[Takker]

FINE! I'm going to find a man that can support me! AND I'M TAKING THE KIDS!

[BreadObama69]

FINE!

I KNEW I made an egregious error in even CONCIEVING that you'd be capable of SIMPLE TASKS.

Leave.

Leave now.

And take those snot nosed brats WITH YOU.

[Takker]

I WAS THE BEST YOU EVER HAD! HAVE FUN DYING ALONE! and maybe if you hate the kids so much, I'll leave them here just to spite you!

[BreadObama69]

I'll do what it takes to get you out of my life forever.

Actually, you know what? JUST GO.

I don't want you to have the pleasure, no the PRIVILEGE, no no the HONOR of hearing the melodious sound of my voice.

[Takker]

fine I'll go! but before I do, I'm going to leave all my feminine beauty products all over the bathroom! SO HA!

[BreadObama69]

you're dead to me.

deader to me than your dead mother.

[Takker]

WHO YOU KILLED!

[Linzoy]

Please, please, please don't trust your insurance company, it doesn't matter if your relatives work for them. It's the insurance guy's job to lull you into a false sense of security.

[Takker]

haha, well I just found out that our insurance guy retired :robot:

we're thinking of not making a claim just yet, and seeing if it would be better to just pay the guy off if he got an estimate already.

[BreadObama69]

so... is the crisis averted, or...?

[Takker]

who knows? my dad is going to call the guy and see if he got an estimate.

[BreadObama69]

is it kinda tense around your house?

like your dad may seem calm but he's just waiting to yell at you again at the slightest provocation?

[Takker]

that's how it was yesterday for a while, but I think he's okay now. my mom wasn't THAT mad. she was more upset that I had damage to my car.

[BreadObama69]

well, as long as he's not going to kill you.

my family likes to hold grudges, so I'm still getting crap for trouble I caused when I was like six.

[Takker]

heh. well my dad is the most impatient guy ever. he's mad now because we can't get a hold of the guy, because the phone number on the police report is wrong. but the guy had a thick accent, so the cop probably couldn't understand him that well.

he's been calling me from work and asking for license numbers and everything. he hasn't called in a while, so I'm hoping he got a hold of the guy.

[BreadObama69]

oh the guy's not from around here.

we can take advantage of his foreign naivete.

[Takker]

that's racism Kane. that's racism.

[BreadObama69]

it's not racism if it directly benefits you.

I mean duh

[Takker]

oh sorry. I guess I was just too IGNORANT!

[BreadObama69]

uh, yeah. per usual, takks.

per usual

[HappySilly4Doom]

Topic Rating: FANTASTICILY DELICIOUS!!!!!

*smiley grins* ^____^

[Takker]

uh, yeah. per usual, takks.

per usual
I don't have to sit here and take this from some unemployed bum!

[HappySilly4Doom]

I don't have to sit here and take this from some unemployed bum!

Whatcha gonna do Tak? :)

*smiles*

[ImWearingUrSkin]

<img src="http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j208/luvluvluvluvluv/octopoo3.jpg">

[BreadObama69]

kinda harping on that mollusk, eh liz?

and don't EVEN start with me about employment, takker.

[Takker]

liz: :ava:

Kane: why?! we can't live off your unemployment checks forever! there's another baby on the way!

[BreadObama69]

you wait 'til NOW to tell me this?

I don't need another obstacle in my struggle to avoid support payment.

and....we haven't been intimate in the past few months....

[Takker]

I was waiting because I was hoping you would get a damn job, but of course, you didn't, so I had to tell you to motivate you you lazy bastard.

and I never said the baby was <i>yours</i>. but you still have to take care of it, because the father is DEAD.

[ImWearingUrSkin]

If I get Disability crap, I'll help support your babies.

[BreadObama69]

and I never said the baby was <i>yours</i>. but you still have to take care of it, because the father is DEAD.

I wish I had something to do with that.

liz isn't involved with this...

IS SHE?!

[ImWearingUrSkin]

Hint: I'm dead

[BreadObama69]

OH MY GOD

It's a conspiracy!

How long have you been living with Liz, Takker?

[ImWearingUrSkin]

Well I wouldn't really call it "living", since, y'know, I'm dead and all.

_{I wish I knew how to do the html thingy for spoilers}

[BreadObama69]

A MATTER OF SEMANTICS TO BE SURE.

This is unbelievable.

[MST3Kakalina]

I have 16 :)
My mom has 52. :) :) :) :)

[Charnye West]

WOULD YOU LIKE TO WRITE DOWN THIS PLOT ON PAPER AND SEND IT TO ME SO I CAN PRODUCE IT IN A MOVIE

[HappySilly4Doom]

Please don't divorce Takker, Citizen Kane... YOUR RELATIONSHIP IS ALL HAVE LEFT IN THIS CRAZY WORLD OF MINE!!!!!!JK

='( *cries a waterfall* ='(

[BreadObama69]

Yeah, well something MIRACULOUS is gonna have to happen, 'cause I've got plans to make Takker's soul DIVORCE her BODY.

GET IT?!

PS: Woah, Koba, who's busy in YOUR family?

[Takker]

I KNEW you were conspiring against me!

<small>so I'm freaking out about this court thing. I'm afraid the guy is going to show up. the court date is on the 1st and that sucks because I know I will be freaking out until then. on top of that, I have to miss school to go. I HATE missing school</small>

[BreadObama69]

oh God, that's like a ways away...

they couldn't just get it over with quickly? I think they want to see you suffer.

[Takker]

who knows? I'd like to move it to a Saturday if I could. missing school makes me squeamish because of all the pile-up of work.

[BreadObama69]

yeah, I totally understand.

[Takker]

maybe I can move it to a saturday...

[BreadObama69]

it's worth a try, but I don't know how busy all those little government drones are.

[KLEIN]

If you move it to saturday that guy is more likely to show up.

remember?

[Takker]

...this is true. I still don't want to miss school though :(

[t3]

Please don't divorce Takker, Citizen Kane... YOUR RELATIONSHIP IS ALL HAVE LEFT IN THIS CRAZY WORLD OF MINE!!!!!!JK

='( *cries a waterfall* ='(


But what about your raging lesbianism?!

[Charnye West]

I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE RESPONSE

I BELIEVE THIS WOULD MAKE AN AWARD WINNING FEATURE

ONE QUESTION HOWEVER

ARE YOU ALL SHAVED

[BreadObama69]

shaved where now?

[Charnye West]

FUR PIE DON'T SELL

[Takker]

I'm trimmed, if it helps

[Charnye West]

(I'm quoting)

[BreadObama69]

....

my eyebrow is raised, takker.

[Charnye West]

(so is mine but you guys need to identify this quote before I tell it)

[BreadObama69]

uhm....I guess I'm lost, beaniac.

[Takker]

haha. I make people uncomfortable.

<small>would you rather have me say that I have a gigantic shrub in my pants? I think not</small>

[Charnye West]

(hint - foreign)

[BreadObama69]

I guess I forgot I'm talking with takker.

and takker talking about her vagina is as natural as ducks in a pond.

[Charnye West]

Then what do you say we "Throw some bread to the ducks," eh?

Say no more, say no more?

(hint - it starred a woman who was also in one of this year's most controversial films.)

[Charnye West]

Amelie, asswipes.

[Takker]

never seen it, S to the tage beans

[BreadObama69]

Yeah, I've never seen it either.

[Meat Load]

What was controversial about Amelie?

[BreadObama69]

no, he mentioned the actress was in a controversial film this year, ie Da Vinci Code.

[Shaman King]

I saw Amelie. It made me want to speak French.

[Anne]

We 'studied' it in my french class. Le fabuleux destin d'Amelie Poulain. Soundtrack's good.

[HappySilly4Doom]

I guess I forgot I'm talking with takker.
