Damn, sorry to see that happened. Hope the city doesn't try to give you the run around.

Don't even get me started on some of these transit drivers, I can't even count how many times I've almost been hit. Glad your okay though.

The b*tch driving had no courtesy to let me go in front of her at a red light(left turn only lane). So she went straight to make her left and swirved into me(I was at a complete stop)

I really appreciate all of the concern. It happened in Downtown Paterson. I live in Clifton. North Jersey in Passaic county.

So did she stop and did you get the police to see it your way? Or did she just drive off!?!?

She stopped b/c i started to honk at her histerically. I guess when you look in the sideview and you see a car with a hanging mirror, flat tire, banged up bumper, sittin there honking at you, you know wha thappen. She lied to the officer and i'm waiting for the police report, may just be my fault.

the good thing is that you are OK. All else matters little comparitively. It's a headache and a hassle to deal with, but everything will work out for the best, trust me. Good luck.

Well the NJ transit driver LIED. She said i hit her, but go back one page and look at how my mirror bent and broke. If i hit her then how the F did my mirror bend that way. If i hit her it woulda bent towards my door not my hood
