I crashed, again. Only second time in my life but both happened in a span of less than four months so it's really infuriating. And on top of that, it wasn't even my car, it was my gf's.
My girlfriend, some friends of hers, and I went to a holiday/country home for the weekend. Out of the two, she's the experienced one when it comes to driving in interstates, but I insisted on driving back as the road there had seemed easy to me when we were driving there. Regardless, we crashed no later than two minutes after taking the interstate. We had to take a U-turn to go in our desired direction; contrary to all interstate U-turns I've seen in the US, which go under or over the interstate, U-turns in Mexican highways are like this: (blue car)
Which is pretty fucking dangerous, especially when no one gives a shit about speed limits and you have people driving at 200 km/h (125 mph approx.). Anyway, I took the U-turn, which leaves you in the high-speed lane and then you need to make the change to the right lane. I was about to do, especially because a car was coming behind me way too fast. I signaled my switch to the right lane, but this imbecile decided to overtake me by the right (which is illegal); and I don't know what the fuck was he thinking, and I don't even know if it was intentional, but the fucking asshole rammed his car into ours while we were still on the left lane.
We pull over to the right, and before I even get out of the car he goes apeshit on us, punching the car's window and kicking the door, demanding me to get out and fight him. After more insulting, threatening, and kicking, the fucker decides to flee. My gf bursts into tears, the other girl in our and I almost do as well because this guy was a fucking psycho. Imagine if he were carrying a baseball bat or something worse. And his idiot wife just stood there, watching his imbecile husband threaten three 21-year olds, two women included. After the whole scene, we call the insurance company, and oh my fucking god are they useless. It took them 40 minutes to understand our location and to send a guy, and it took the guy an hour to get there, and when he got there he had the worst fucking attitude. He made us wait until he finished a call, which took him a good ten minutes. We had the caution to take the plates, make, and model of the car, since in a previous accident they had told my gf to do so so that the other guy would have to pay the damages. Well, Mr. Ineptitude here says that's not even true, and that since the crash and the vandalism were two separate actions, we would have to pay two fucking deductibles of MXN$13,000 each (around USD$700 each). And then he backtracks and says the insurance would only cover the crash. And then he backtracks again. Until I get fed up of his shit and call his boss, who puts the asshole in his place and tells me we can file a lawsuit against the fucker who crashed us; however, there's no guarantee it will go through and even then it will be a long, legal process.
My gf was pretty damn shocked and unstable after that but she kept telling me it was not my fault and that it would have happened to whoever was driving; she even insists on me not paying any of the expenses but at the end of the day it was me who was driving and it was me who was one of the two drivers involved. So, she's left around a month without her car, we have to follow with a lawsuit, and it's not even a guarantee the other asshole will end up paying.
Fuck this whole situation.
