    We also had an accident where somebody turned into us, but no witness.

    I mean, in my experience that’s the point where you put in a call to the local PD and get it reported, so the accident doesn’t go on your record. If their car is t-boning your car, its a pretty clear-cut case of them being at-fault.

    But if it was minor and folks were in a hurry and nobody cared, I definitely get it. Nice to live in a country that friendly and chill.

      Police don’t come for accident here, unless it is really major or injury. There’s no suing each other or an opposing insurance, so a police report becomes irrelevant.

      I though a side dent would show other person at fault, but the insurance company said an alternate way is person is already turning and instead of yielding to traffic in a turn you speed ahead. I felt like arguing it, but since it doesn’t matter we just let it be.
