Hydroplaned and ditched :(

MacCool · 05-30-2012, 06:52 AM

Ouch. I recall 30 years ago going sideways all of a sudden on a rain-slick interstate in Colorado in my 280Z. Fortunately, I was able to get it going the same way it was pointed. Unfortunately, it was pointed at the grassy median. Didn't roll, didn't hit anything, but it sure stopped suddenly in the big puddle in the median. Fortunately, that car had no air bags, so it was just winched out and I could drive it away.

It was a simpler time.

Why didnt you call the police? The insurance company is going to want their report to file a claim.. Glad you are safe though bud.

Well, in the first place he would got a reckless driving ticket which it will show up on his insurance.

However if he goes thru his insurance they are going to ask him for one and his rates will go up.

Unless he has the cash to fix it without getting the insurance company involved, but it looks like it going to be expensive with those airbags deploying.

Airbags deploying equals big problems! GL OP and glad you are OK.
