    What happened with the 2 in the yard? Everyone is quick to just assume they’re nothing, and hopefully they are, but I’ve seen some pretty costly stuff take place in the yard. It’s more common than you think

    If they're under 1500$ they usually won't make a claim,deductible's and insurance rates rising.A lot of companies fix a lot of small dings and doinks in house,meaning they have someone to do it on the cheap.It's when a 4 wheeler gets involved the lawyers start coming out of the woodwork.

    I can't get over this term "rookie mistake" when it comes to an accident.

    Thanks Chinatown. Im in the same shoes as the OP except I had one accident "improper lane change that drift vehicle-2 behind my trailer out of the hwy into the woods where they bust their radiator. I also have one speeding citation 10mph over on a 50mph limit lane. Plus offcourse one rookie mistake that GPS took thru parkway in NY. All that incidents happened in a month o f september 2018. They let me go in Nov.Now i have been unemployed for 2months and my dream to buy my own truck is crumbling because im living off my savings. I hope this Tx2Ca recommenda t ion workout
