WTF!!! Hit and Run on the Highway
UPDATE ON POST 19
warning long post/rant needing opinions.
My daily driver is in the shop getting a stage 1 clutch kit put in, so i get to drive my wifes (new to her) 06 Mazda 3. Seemed like a normal drive on the 400 Southbound until i approached the normal traffic build up just before the 401-west on ramp (I was in lane 4). Now anyone who travels this section knows that there are plenty of impatient morons that are in lanes 5 that always try to cut into lane 4 to try and bypass the traffic build up. While today i got rear ended by a blue ford contour that tried to cut infront of the Toyota Camry behind me (mind you this is at the solid line where you are not allowed to change lanes). He hit me around 20-25km speed. Not sure what to do as i dont know how bad the damage is, i look in my rearview mirror and notice the guy trying to back up and takeoff!!!!
Natural instincts make me follow this dumbass and get his plates while i call 911 to report a hit and run. The officer tells me to back off and stop following and come into the OPP station to make a report with license plate.
Lets just say the OPP stations was a less then memorable moment in my day. I wont go into details but it was a crappy experience. There was no officer available to file a report, and the lard ass behind the desk said he wasn't interested and gave me the info of another officer that was not in. In the end i made a statement and gave him my information and was told the cop will call me and i can get a police report then.
How does this affect my insurance?
What are the chances of the police actually following up on this type of situation?
any helpful information on were things go from here would be appreciated.!!
