Right, so this happened. And I'm going over my options of how to fix it. I considered contacting the police to notify them of the driver who did a shit job at strapping their garbage down that flew into me. And then I realised that with no functioning lights and that broken windshield, my vehicle would be taken off the road.

I then considered contacting my insurance provider.

At which point, I did some pre-emptive investigating before I made my statement.

My vehicle, being somewhat older, and deemed too much of a hassle to find parts for, would be written off, and therefore taken off the road and destroyed.

And in compensation to find another vehicle for myself, I'd be paid 700$.

It's real comforting to know that I blow over a couple grand every year to literally be covered for almost jack shit.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
Get better insurance. There's no way your truck is only worth 700 if they want to total it.

That's how it's always been m8. They don't care about you, just the green in your wallet.

Who's your insurer btw?

Remember, some time waaaay back, how I stated that my province was controlled by basically one internet provider?

The same rule applies to insurance.

The one who's got a monopoly in my entire my entire province and is almost officially a branch of the government at this point.

But you know what really, really burns?

It's illegal to go without insurance. Now, I can understand costs being covered for people. That's like the only thing insurance is good for. But for everything else, it's total bullshit.

And fucking imagine that. It's illegal to drive around without insurance. You are actually forced, into shelling out that fucking money and for what?

700 fucking dollars?

I couldn't even buy a fucking high quality bicycle for that much.

Ya'll can't outrun the government yellow snake guy. I'd say switch countries. But frankly, most other countries around have their shit points too.

But I know how I can fuck them over.

If I keep my vehicle for, let's say another 10 years, maybe even 5, it'll be old enough to qualify as an antique.

Antique plates mother fucker.

I could get antique plates for my car... but there's millage restrictions that I'd bust and get all kind of hell for if I ever sell.

I was just listening to a guy at Hobbytown yesterday talk about his truck, and how his insurance is screwing him over too.  Screwed us over, too, when our house flooded.. twice.
