Parking lot encounter

I ran to a local sandwich place aT lunchtime today and as usual, I parked in a spot away from everyone else. Didn't work this time.

Pulled into a spot behind a car already parked. As I was getting out of my car, the lady in front was closing her door to leave. As soon as she started her car, she had it in a reverse and headed towards my car. I tried yelling, but it was too late - SMACK.

She didn't want to trade insurance info, so I had to call the cops. She readily admitted to the cop that she didn't look before backing into me. Her fault and now I have a nice crease in my front bumper.

I already contacted her insurance. I assume the bumper will need to be replaced but is there anything under the bumper I should be worried about?

Darn thing is she didn't even need to back up to leave, she could have just pulled away!

When the body shop remove the bumper ask them to check your radiator support brackets.

Doesn't matter which coast your on some people don't belong on the road or parking lots. Matter of fact they shouldn't leave their f'g apartment.

I had some dumb **** open his door and slam and ding my door and look at me and say sorry dude. It takes everything you got to not beat the **** out of his stupid ***.
