[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 100071, member: 1514"] Something similar happened to me one time years ago. There was this car at a stop sign in front of me. We were both stopped. Im not sure if she rolled back into me or I rolled slightly into her. We both had manual transmissions at the time. It could have been either way. There was absolutely no damage to either car and we hit about as hard as a shopping cart hits a car when it rolls into your bumper. A mere tap. Well she insisted on calling the police anyway. She flagged down a passing motorist because this was way before cell phones. Cops come and they cant find any damage so they write up the report listing everyone in the car, no damage, no injuries stated, all occupants listed, took insurance information anyway, cop did list that I was the driver in the rear and if I rolled forward that it "may" have been my fault but fault could not be determined since he couldnt determine that an accident had indeed occurred. First cars occupants stated that they were considering going to the ER just to be checked out to make sure they were ok. I happened to have a disposable camera in my glove box at that time. I followed that car to Walmart where the people got out, walked in and proceeded to spend over and hour and a half shopping! I took pictures! Then they went to Kmart and did the same thing. Then they went to the grocery store before heading home. I followed them the whole time snapping pictures and then took my camera to the store to get them developed and to make sure the date would be on them. I called my insurance company up that evening and reported exactly what had happened. They never called their insurance company until months later and then they tried to say they were injured. I believe my insurance company heard from them 9 months later. They never paid a dime. Unfortunately I ended up having one point on my insurance record even though they never paid one red cent. Not fair! [/QUOTE]
