I hear ya Blake. Are you physically ok? I know that I wasn't really sore
until hours later. Be very grateful that you didn't get a ticket though.
When the idiot (I'm being nice here) totaled my '95, I got the ticket as I
was technically at fault. I was outraged and decided to fight the ticket in
court. I must have got the judge on a really bad day as he was grumpy and
short-tempered. This jerk even admitted to speeding and running the light
because he was late for work, but it was still my fault for making the turn.
Point of my rambling: be very sure it's safe to turn because the result WILL
BE YOUR FAULT and in your case, keep more of a braking distance between you
and your precious Dak.

In your case, I would definitely avoid the insurance company. In fact, I
wish we could avoid them altogether :(

Take care,
Norah
