| Totaled car need help.
So I totaled my car few nights ago. Tires lost grip on wet roads on the freeway and I spun out of control slamming into a light post. You guys probably saw the damage I did if you took the exit ramp from Alderbridge onto Knight.
That aside I don't know what I should do about the car now. Claiming through ICBC would be the last thing I want because I don't want my insurance to sky rocket and fear city might charge me for the light post lol. Can someone tell me how salvaging your car works?
No witnesses after the crash and I was able to drive home before the battery completely died the next day.
Pics of the car below  |

also, FAIL. man up and report this to ICBC. you know that the repair to the light post plus whatever else you damages comes out of the Richmond city taxes, right? ie: you just cost Richmond residents money.
edit: well, i guess i'm not the only one thinking that the OP might change his/her mind. lol.

You have 3 options. Report to ICBC, they will pay you out for your car cause thats a definate writeoff minus deductible and your insurance will go up. How
much? depends on how much discount u have now.
Or you can just walk away from this accident and just buy a new car.
Or you can attempt to get it fixed but i wouldnt do it. Thats over 10K in damage unless u take it to some cheap hack shop it maybe cheaper

Reference the light: the chances of you paying for it are pretty low, unless it fell over.
Because, based on my experience yearsssssss ago, I didn't have to pay for mine,even-though the light fell off...... and yes I reported to icbc.

if it's a hit and run, then the city would have to fix it themselves incurring most, if not all, costs. where does all this money come from? city resident taxes. unless they make a hit and run claim with icbc (if it's obvious that a vehicle caused the damage), but i assume they'd still have to pay a deductible of some sort.

A couple scrapes isn't going to be considered broken I think.

| i'm ASSuming that there is some damage. maybe/maybe not worth fixing.

seakrait you're probably right, but the money never came from me nor my insurance policy because I did not claim it. I just reported to icbc.
