| Some douche hit me on the hwy.
Going down the HWY1 in the HOV lane, I am about to change lanes..half-way through changing lanes (I didn't complete the lane change yet) some mofo in a mercedes speeds up (partly in the pull-over lane) hits my side mirror on the drivers side and speeds away. Trys to speed off and run away from me but I caught up to him when he exited to 104th ave. Lucky me he hit a red light and couldn't do shit, walked out of my car got the douche to gtfo. Got his info and all that shit.
Anyways I reported the accident to ICBC right away. I got a witness in the passengers seat (my gf). What are the chances ICBC is gonna fuck me over?
Wasn't being exactly clear. He was behind me before i started to switch lanes. I wasn't going into his lane. I was changing lanes to the right. He was behind me speeding and tries to side step me on the left when I didn't complete my lane change yet. I will draw a picture lol.

I don't think passengers count as witnesses. You need someone else. You got his info, so it indicates he stopped and you guys exchanged info. Was there any damage to his vehicle. Did you take any photos with your cell?

I wish i just reported it as a hit and run.  | |

on a less a-hole-ish note, if u report as hit and run and u got his plate.. OHH MAN ur good to go. lol.

they may give it 50/50 since you were going from your lane into his lane. ICBC will probably say you should have checked your blindspot.

Good luck with that, I think the chance of this being a 50/50 case is HIGH... and unfortunately, your gf cannot be your witness either...

If I recall, if you're pulling into someone's lane, you have to yield into the lane. If you tried to change lanes, you should have seen the Mercedes speeding up fast behind you in the first place.
Meaning that the Mercedes did have the right of way.
However, because it was more of a hit and run, I suppose ICBC can vouch a 50/50 against your claim.

He was behind me the entire time until he tried to side-step me while I didn't complete my lane change yet. AGAIN, I was not changing lanes into HIS LANE. The benz was in the far left lane just like me and I was trying to switch lanes to the RIGHT.

most of your people are f*cking retared... read the question..
the other guy should be screwed. make sure they knew he ran and you had to catch him, and he was in the HOV by himself.

most of you dont get it...
iwantaskyline was changing lanes to the right, benz tries to pass on the left side of him while he was in the middle of two lanes.
assuming iwantaskyline was driving at the speed limit, benz must've been speeding in order to catch up + pass, in addition to driving on the shoulder

I just don't understand why that idiot would clip your car in the first place. for goddamn sake drivers these days should know the spacing of their own car.
..was he/she asian? lol

Witnesses can't be your own passenger. It presents with a clear bias.
And if you didn't get pictures of the car that hit you with noticeable damage from what your mirror did, the best you'll get is 50/50. Most likely, you're hooped. If you did get to exchange info, this might help to get you some chance of better odds.

the mercedes is definitely at fault. but passengers in your car do not count as a witnesses.
so...it pretty much comes to whether or not icbc believes ur story vs his story

Did you take pictures of HIS car?
You should've recorded him with your cellphone. If you did, the case would be done.
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.
