That’s rough. I’m surprised the insurance didn’t just write it off. I can’t say how it’ll perform after repairs, but I hope it’s not too bad for you.

I’m surprised too. I’m hoping the repair shop finds more damage the adjuster missed so they’ll total it. I’m worried about how it’ll drive after this. Thanks though!
My city has been cracking down on mopeds lately. They tow a lot of them for being unregistered, uninsured, or no license. Sometimes all three.
There might be more damage the adjuster didn’t see. You’ll know more once they take a closer look.
@Madden
Same here! But there are so many of them. I saw one hit a police car, and the rider just ran off. The police grab a bunch at a time, but it doesn’t seem to make a difference.
I’m hoping they find more damage too. It’ll take a few more days to know for sure. I’m also pretty sore, so I’m not sure how I’ll feel getting back in the truck.
Would’ve been cheaper to just hit the moped /s

A lot of people have said that. But I don’t know how I’d handle hurting someone, even if it was their fault. I get it though.

At 30 mph, it would’ve just been a little bump haha

This is how I imagined it going down lol
That’s tough. I’m really sorry this happened to you.
Looking at the damage and the airbags going off, I’m surprised the insurance didn’t just total it.
Glad you’re okay though. Cars can be fixed or replaced, but we can’t.
They might fix it if the engine isn’t damaged. You could end up with a new front end, radiator, bumper, and lights. But since the airbags went off, it might get totaled. It depends on if they find more damage.
Don’t swerve to avoid these reckless riders. If they want to take risks, let them face the consequences.
I’ve heard RAV4s are pretty much indestructible.
