The humor outweighs the humility of that visual you just gave us, VLJ! Yes, as Peterbaron says, try to snap a pic...
Reminds me of some advice a friend gave me a while back before routine surgery. "Pray that the anesthesiologist isn't an attractive girl. She'll be the last thing you see until you wake up. And you'll probably wake up making some sort of semi-rude comment about her."
When I woke up, my wife was looking down, smiling at me. The first thing I blurted out was "Did I just say anything?!!"
And regarding the insurance comments, yes, for gosh sake we should all very very aware of what coverage we carry and to what limits. As a former claims rep, I hated to hear someone say "What do you mean I'm not covered for this? My agent never told me!" "Well, the agent sold you a policy that you probably never looked at, and since he was probably very friendly and nice to you, you had the impression that he had your best interests in mind and that you would be covered against anything that might ever happen."
In the case of elderly drivers, many times I have seen agents pile on every coverage under the sun and to the highest limits possible. The agent is looking to make a good commission, and is betting that the client will just OK everything without questioning it. I love my mom, but she'll hand money to anyone who treats her nicely. I reviewed her policy, and removed a bunch of stuff that was redundant or unnecessary ("You don't need roadside assistance, you already have AAA").
I've got my fingers crossed that the gentleman who hit you is covered to the hilt.
