[And ... that's like asking to get screwed prison style ....
Ummm..you speak from experience Bubba? 
From a financial aspect I've been gang raped once LOL! Hence my zero tolerance policy and doing things strictly by the book. I would personally call in a cop for ANY kind of accident above and beyond a fender bender .. this just so I can produce a report to my insurance company if needed .. if that puts someone on the spot .. sorry about your luck but it's YOUR problem not mine if you drive without a valid license or insurance. I don't expect to treated any differently which is why I have my sh!t in order .. it's the least you can expect of an adult in my opinion!

If you get pulled over in the state of Ohio without valid insurance you get a curtesy ride so to speak. None of this 10 day grace period anymore .. Can't recall when they changed that but it's been in the last 2-3 years I believe. Personally if someone hit me and didn't have insurance I'd sure as hell get the cops on the scene, regardless of their situation ... can't afford it!? Then don't drive .. that simple folks ..

It was a fender bender. That's why I didn't make a big deal of it. I completely agree with you; if it was MORE then that, I would have done it by the book, but it was literally a fendor bender, but because of the car, the headlight housing alone would cost $200 to $300 for that car. Have you ever priced an import headlight? They are rediculous, especially on a Nissan.

Yes I have, they are not cheap. Not arguing who's at fault here (sorry buddy lol) or the costs .. I'm simply disagreeing with the resolution to the problem because I think it can invite a lot of additional issues ... If I knew the person I hit I would pay for it out of pocket .. a complete stranger .. not a chance upon gawds green earth .. by the book baby! People are dishonest by nature anytime money is involved .. what is there that says he didn't put that act on to get $ out of you and then turned around and filed a claim too!? It's your thumbs and ultimately your a-hole they end up in if he screws you over .. now prove he received $600 from you .. you can't unless you have a receipt .. now try to get that money back .. and you'll find yourself in small claims court instead .. by the time that damn crap is over that head light has costed you thousands ... and if he doesn't pay up you have to take him BACK to court ..
Obviously this would be worst case scenario but like I said .. anytime there's money involved I don't put ANYTHING passed people ...

I definintely will. My point is that my time and clean driving record is worth more then saving $100 by going through the insurance company. They can't file a claim. I have 5 witnesses that all saw and heard both of them say he was driving with no license or insurance. He is honestly afraid of ME filing a report on him. Why should I go through all that crap for what, so I can get out of paying an extra 100 bux, when I'll have to spend 500 on the insurance and all my time and money working on it, not to mention having that crap on my record? It's not worth it to me.
I agree 100% Mike the insurance will kill you. I think you did the right thing

You're right Nick, but let's just hope that doesn't happen. I'm going to make him sign something saying he got the money though. I'm not going to make it that easy.
