But I bet you didn't. And I bet you're also saying how much of an idiot you are for not doing it. Well, if it helps, you are an idiot for not recording the conversation. | I took pics of his car and mine. No I didn't record the conversation. I was pretty pissed and with adrenaline going through the roof while chasing him down I wasn't exactly thinking clearly. Now whether he would have let me record the convo is a different story but whatever.
Thank you for being a asshole  |

Since you have no witness, unless the guy actually admits he sped up and clipped your mirrors. It's going to be 50/50.

On a sidenote, you should be glad he wasnt a second or so slower or he'd send you tailspinning out of control if he clipped you in the back...

You see, when someone creates a thread asking RS what to do after an accident. People will flame and say, are you stupid, the first thing you do is post on RS, and not report it to ICBC?
Then when people report to ICBC first, then post on RS afterward. RS tells him, damn, you should of told ICBC this instead, would of screwed him over 10x. etc, etc. now it's gonna be 50/50.
LOSE LOSE SITUATION.

he can always change his side of the story to fuck u over and say that you DID try to cut into HIS lane. icbc would prolly think this is more likely.
I only say this because a taxi hit me and i reported it. taxi ran a red in a right turn with my right of way and t-boned me. he lied and said i changed lanes and we were parallel.
adjuster took the taxis side without even seeing my car. was fluke that the estimator was from marine dr and transferred and is an old pro.
so i'd becareful....

ICBC will screw you over because the person with the right of way was the guy in the benz. It doesn't matter if he was behind you. You were changing lanes and thats all ICBC needs to know. It could've been a police car speeding up in the HOV lane and you hit him. Being in a lane and speeding doesn't mean you're at fault, therefore, you can't use that argument against the Benz driver unless you have a 3rd party witness (sorry, passengers count as 2nd party. it would have to be a completely random person).

^Reading fail.
The Benz was passing when it wasn't safe to do so, and from the look of the awesome diagram, he was also partially passing illegally on the shoulder.
Given that it wasn't safe for him to pass, I'd say ICBC puts the blame on the Benz 100%.
The thing I've noticed, when putting in a claim... is that ICBC really tends to side with whoever reports it first. It may just be coincidence, or maybe they go with the thinking that the person who takes longer is just trying to take the time to fabricate a better story... I dunno, but that's been my experience, anyway.

I dunno why there is a problem here. OP, here's what you should do since it doesn't look like anybody got injured.
Call ICBC, report the claim so at least it's logged. Call a shop (ICBC accredited) and get an estimate. Call the Benz driver back and give him the choice of paying for your repairs cash or claiming it.
Since it's just a mirror, chances are he's better off paying for your repairs. If he's a douche and tries to run, then simply turn the invoice over to ICBC and he's screwed either way.

Best thing to explain how the situation goes is tell him which or the closes exit the incident happened on and then tell them which exit u had to go to just to get to him, that could prove that he tried to hit and run since he past a few exits..

His car looks to be in the the middle of both lanes, but to which lane was it turning into, right or left? Draw it!
Another problem that stands out is the solid HOV lane. The judge will ask all these questions, so draw the illustration right the first time.
I read his poor description, and I know what's going on, but if your going to illustrate with a picture, do it right!

hahah | Well, it's a tough description to follow. A mean, how the hell does a car side-step? How does a car side-step from behind? Now, replace "side-step" with the usual driver's lingo such as "pass" or "overtake" and he may have avoided miscommunicating how the events unfolded. I can take assumptions on what he meant by "side-step" but I think that's what gets everyone confused. Side stepping is not the appropriate terminology and therefore is open to interpretation in an effort to try and understand what the OP is trying to convey. Quote:
