Idiot SUV Drivers

Some idiot in an SUV just backed over our Mustang then had the gall to say it was my wife's fault because (and this is a quote): "Its your fault because the car is too low, and in any event I thought you would have been gone by now".

Needless to say the police officer who saw the whole thing from start to finish didn't see it that way.

I'm not mad about the damage, its pretty slight, not even sure if the whole hood will need to be replaced or not. I'm thinking since the moron's insurance will be having to pony up (no pun intended) I may DEMAND that the whole hood gets replaced because color matching is so problematic these days:winks

What I'm incensed about is the idiocy of it all.

1) Driver gets in vehicle, throws it in reverse admittedly KNOWING there had been a car behind her when she got in her vehicle and never looked.

2) Driver of said vehicle hits a vehicle that is not moving.

3) Driver Then blames the driver of the vehicle SHE hit because "the car is too low"?!?!?!? R U KIDDING ME??????

I actually thank GOD it was just our Mustang and not one of the idiots kids that was behind the vehicle. The car can be fixed, a child may not be so lucky. Hopefully she learned a valuable lesson with out having to spend time in prison for killing someone.

I have been driving fullsize trucks more than half my adult life (as well as ambulances and fire trucks when I was younger) and I never backed up without checking-several times. Lord knows what could sneak up on you.
