Forester

  • 35,311 miles
6/15/2009 I was headed home at a rate of ~20-25 mph on pisgah church rd as I was approaching where I turn right onto lawndale ave and I rear ended a vehicle which was pushed forward rear ending a 2nd vehicle to the tune of $16,183.57 erie insurance charge (claim # 010910179459) and 3 nasty points. I was uninjured and contacted the greensboro police department. The arriving officer and the greensboro fire dept both expressed surprise that the air bag did not operate. I'm a nurse & was coming home from working the night shift. The police officer told me "I'm not going to write you a ticket (a professional courtesy, I think) because your insurance company is going to ream you."
