    An Uber Eats driver with lights off at night drove straight into me. What do I do now?

    And just to re-iterate and make it as clear possible: Yes, I see the error of my ways now. Crashes can be a lot more expensive than just the repairs to my car. I repeat: I will be getting insurance if I can (and I probably will be able to). I just never gave this sort of thing much thought...

    What about the RAF? In any case I can't say I've done a full cost-benefit risk analysis. But let's be honest, have you? Have you scoured actuarial tables and studied and applied various financial and Mathematical concepts? That's not to say you are wrong. After all, if I thought you were wrong...

    Can't say I'm aware of such trolls. Now that you mention it though I can see why they would find the style would be hilarious for trolling. That being said, I am not a troll. It's just my personality. It's how I speak in real life too. I'm just a little eccentric (in this country at least. I...

    Well this car has been driving around for about 14 years without incident. The insurance payments would have wound up way more expensive than virtually any repairs. Of course, one cannot look at the result of a gamble and determine from that whether or not the gamble was a wise decision...

    An Uber Eats driver with lights off at night drove straight into me. What do I do now?

    I don't have insurance, and I am dealing with it by paying for the repairs (as mentioned in earlier replies). Given that, you can see why I didn't think it necessary to say anything further. I was under the impression the matter was done with and so was now engaging in friendly banter. My...

    Was the photo captioned: "if you're seeing this it means I'm already dead"?

    I once had the delightful experience of having to use a taxi. After having boarded I came to the grim realization that the taxi did not have a steering wheel; The guy had just stuck a spanner onto a steering column. Fun times.

    I try to be generous with my impressions of people but these guys (the delivery driver and cops in general) are making it very difficult to do so. Frankly, I think I can be forgiven for my lapse of generosity here. I get that some people are desperately poor and I have great sympathies for...

    Thanks a lot! I will keep this in mind when/if the time comes.

    You seem to be a wizened sage in these matters. Repairs will be my focus for the time being. If I can get it done for less than R10000 I'll be positively ecstatic. As for hoping something changes the Uber driver's ways... Well it would certainly be for the better for everyone if it happened but...

    Thank you very much for the tip! I had no idea they charged such extortionate fees! From now when people speak about towing I'll likely be saying no to anything short of a gun to my head. If it wasn't for your warning I could have in the future wound up with a big bill I couldn't afford to...

    If that's it I'll be extremely happy. Even if my car looks like it just emerged from the battle for Stalingrad. Cosmetics are of no concern to me. It the car takes me from A to B I'll be a very happy camper indeed.

    An Uber Eats driver with lights off at night drove straight into me. What do I do now?

    As can be seen from the pictures it was a sea of darkness (thanks to the street lights being off, as they often are). Since he had his lights off he was effectively invisible. Also, he was clearly speeding (this is a residential area). Meanwhile, I had my lights on (though you can't see it in...

    Without further ado, here are the pictures. These are some directly after the accident: Here are some the 2 days after. As you can see, the front bumper has fallen off.

    Please excuse the delay in posting pictures. I will edit them in a bit to remove the licence plate and then post them
